yesterday the beech was cold and i was in head deep water i had my wetsuit on and i felt the need to go to the toilet i decided to just go in my westsuit although i had a littlte trouble getting it out cause i was bobbing up and down.
the feeling was rather blissful and for almost 20 seconds i felt warm.
when i was a body boarding superstar me and my mates used to brag about how good it felt.
With winter around the corner is is exceptable to urinte in your wetsuit.

I've read a few times that sharks can home in on people who have pissed in the water. Who really knows with sharks though? They seem to be quite unpredictable. If you do it make sure you thoroughly rinse your wetsuit afterwards.

That's why I only buy new wetsuits

The guys on mythbuster did a segment on this.... and it was given the official BUSTED seal.

Rinsing your wetsuit or sharks being attracted to people urinating in the water?

Spot on Mark!!
Boardies, wetty, pretty much everyone I know does it.
Definitely good in winter for the warmth factor.
In fact beware of certain individuals who will stand upwind of you in boardies when its really windy and let loose. [}:)]

Always did it without thinking twice until I got a new wetty last winter with fully taped seams. Great wetsuit...keeps water out...but keeps piss in.....

Yep, had that nice warm feeling all session which was just bearable until I took my wetty off and warm piss went everywhere.....not so nice.

Any one pulled off a successful Aqua-Turd?

My mate Darius, took a turd in his wettie once, and carried on surfing as he thought it would just stay in the crack of his bum until he took the suit off.

WRONG !!

It was all over his back, right up to the neck seal and travelled down the arms !!
He absolutely stank !!!
And il always remember the two old biddys in the carpark looking absolutely horrified, they probably went away thinking we all do it!!

The aqua-dump used to be pretty popular in morocco. It was much better than having to go between the rocks when everyone else had been during the night and high tide still had a way to go. Just drop your shorts and make sure you're upcurrent of anyone else with the same idea

Don't you usually go to the toilet before going out for the day?

The area between the rocks had been nicely eroded into cubicles. The only other facilities in the village were in the cafe and you had to walk up the hill and then buy something if you wanted to use them.

We nicknamed the break "toilets" (oooh the imagination)

Had to drop the wettie and do an aqua turd off Elwood one day, Bangalore Belly
(not that anyone would notice at Smellwood) I then saw a shark about 5 minutes later.
Maybe the urban mythe had the wrong end? should we get Myth Busters onto this one !!!!

My problem a few months ago was urinating downwind with a sand dune about head hi, maybe 2m downwind of me. It was so windy it blew back at me (wind eddying around the dunes) and I damn near p1ssed on my own face.

Safer to do it in the wetty and then let some water in the neck to flush it

The moral of the story is to never piss into the wind

Oh man too much info

we call it a aqua nard
not aqua turd u have to pull ur wettie down below ur knees hang onto your board and then drop the chikito bar. its great if ur a surfer and people are dropping in on u it will give u enough time to catch a few waves before ur chikito bar bomb floats away i thik that the chikito bar is genrally not exceptable in the genral public circle but funny if your around your crew in good taste.

i had a sensational windsurf this arvo but i stacked it ny sail was loose and my pole was hanging out the end of the sail i still manages to uphaul and sail back in slowly (thank god)this can be fixed yes/no ill drop it of purchace another sail and get that one fixed wheres the best place to take it

I never ever pee in my wetsuit, I say, never ever

I do in my boardies but it's not easy on the move and no time to stop

if u put your boardies over your wetsuit it'll give you a good excuse for both
