Anyone have any ideas on how to stop water shooting up the leg of your wetsuit?

I was going to suggest wearing high ankle booties over the wetsuit to go with boardies on top... but I know where that will end this thread at

Will try and sort some velcro system out - what brand and type was your wettie Charl??

i got a new Mystic wettie, comes with velcro ankles, shin pads and neck seal. very happy with this wettie best one i have ever had, got it from Choicey.

Oh now that just sucks ! you see that cute little mutt as my avatar ! last night after posting a reply to this she pulled my brand spanking new O'neil off the washing line and bite part ankle off !!!!!!! i guess that one way to stop water shooting up the ankles ! give your suits to Molly ...

Lance go to your closest Bunnings, look for a box of Velcro band fasteners Adjustable Wrap. It's 20 bucks for 5m, so if you lose them just cut another to length. It's good for other little jobs around the house and stuff.

Probably best to go straight up and ask one of those workers that try and make it look like he's busy so you don't bother him.(I hate that)It took me a fair while to locate it, just save yourself half hour.

This stuff is only 25mm wide and serves me well. I do believe you can get wide stuff from spot light, but it's not necessary

Hope that helps mate

I'll make any one who wants them a pair of velcro fasteners for the bottom of their wetty.... for $5 plus postage($1.00)normal envelope should fit!

Just need to give me your measurements!

Bite me!

Lol my dog ate one of our chooks for the first time today. Lance I rekon your wettie is too big mate. Maybe u should put drain holes in it if u are velcroing the legs? Wetties can be anchors if they fill with water and have nowhere to drain.

heres an idea....BINDINGS!

go wakestyle and wear bindings instead of straps..

If elephantitis legs get you down, you can try getting one of those holepunchers and put a hole about 5-10cm from the bottom of your leg, It seems a shame to waste all that warm urine but.

pi**ing in your wettie makes you smell like a seal too, just what you need in those cold southern waters
