Why does Batman where is underpants on the outside of his pants.........?

I'm just saying.........

So people cant see your wetty stuck up your hole.

fashion statement for gay kiters!

i never used to wear boardies over wettie... but one day my wettie got a huge rip right through the middle of the stitching around the arse section..., and as i didn't have time nor spare cash for a new wettie, i had no choice but to wear boardies over it...

I bought a new wettie since then so all back to normal now...

I like it when people wear 3/4 pants over their wetsuits. It's getting rarer now, but it really funny.

Sooty- great analogy - "like a cartoon character wearing clothes"

What are landing lines?

is it only during the wrong time of the month???

when aunty ruby is in town??

I'm sure this could be quite embarrassing.

I have a 10cent hole in the arse of my shorty, so until I get a new one it's boardies over the top.

When I was into dinghy sailing wearing a pair of stubbies or similar heavy cotton shorts over your wetsuit was de-rigeur... As the grip tape on boat decks plus fittings etc do an awesome job of mangling a wetsuit...

Stack into unexpectedly shallow water on a reef...

whats the hardest thing about wearing your boardies over your wettie?

telling your parents your gay

It started a decade or more ago, kiters didn't want to look like windsurfers. Bit similar to snowboarders and skiers...

Personally I think a tight wetsuit looks about as camp as a cyclist in lycras, but each to their own... Borat swimsuit, commando, doesn't bother me what others wear, just live and let live!

Try telling Kelly Slater that he looks like a tool for parading around on the beach in a wetsuit, or telling Alberto Contodor that he looks gay in lycras. I am sure he will laugh at your suggestion of wearing baggies, then leave you for dust as he sprints of as you looking cool with your baggies hanging over your butt, rubbing on everything, and getting caught up. Sure, you will look cooler when standing around, but not when it counts.

Actually this isn't a wind up. I am seriously curious.....Why do people wear boardies over their wetsuit?

To me it looks comical....kind of like a cartoon character wearing clothes.

Everyone to their own, just curious!!

yeah, bi curious

The only sensible reason I can think of is that in the early days guys would ride wakeboards with boots.

The kites were super unstable and the boots were hard to get into. You had to sit on the beach and get your boots done up, without crashing your two line kite, then buttskuttle into the water. Probably damaging your wettie on shells on the way.

All the pictures I have seen of wakeboarding shows guys riding with long baggy shorts on. I don't know if that has always been the fashion for them. I guess bum launching from a pontoon could be rough on a wetsuit. Add to that "cool" kids being dragged around behind daddy's boat might be a bit self-conscious about being seen in a wetsuit.
