Title: Wetsuits
Post by: Gaffers on 23 September 2009, 13:57:06
Ok,

I am getting the final bits ready for the sea launching of Pen-gooin.  The mast went on last night and then all it needs is the remainder of the rigging to be fitted.

But as the 'summer' is over I really need a wetsuit should I get things 'orribly wrong and go for a swim.  I know that asda and sainburys in south coastal areas sold those cheap ones during summer months but I dont know if they still have them.  Is there anyone in the area that can confirm whether or not they still have some?

TIA :y

yes, they are good for 1st items of sporting gear, reasonable quality at a resonable price...great for starting, and you can buy better later if you need to.

may want to consider a thicker winter one, depending how much you'll use it in the colder months.
