Last month I picked up a new quicksilver cypher 4/3. Its perfect for windsurfing right now.

Although the idea of swimming to the right set of rocks seems like a pretty fishy idea.. Im trying to decide if I should try it.. and figure out what I might need.

Seems like alot of work though/ swimming the gear must be a hassle/is it worth it? How long till you give up on your rock? Hopefully there are close ones nearby?

I would assume the standard gear protocol is ultra lightweight. Bare essentials.
,
The more I think about it Id rather be able to carry extra and be dry in my tin dingy...I keep talking myself out of the idea.

I need to find the right rocks I guess.

Most of the good rock /holes I have in mind I wouldn't wanna swim out to. (well there is a few spots in mind that must be fun with the wetsuit) Must be kind of scary though especially alone at night...

I'll stick to this for now

My advice to guys buying a new suit would be to go the windsurf wetsuit route,,, especially for use in the early spring and fall.

I was tired of wearing the smoothskin top under a regular wetsuit to cut the wind. it worked but it was a little bulky. That top is great for summer months over a farmer john though.

I scoured the earth for the right suit. One that is smooth skin all over so evaporation cooling is not an issue in the early hours of the morning, cuts the wind, super flexible and velcro ankles,,, Best of all it was not that expensive..

Check out Neil Pryde 3000 series...:uhuh:

I have this windsurfing wetsuit but I think it shrunk. Its an O'neil smoothy and I wish I could find another. As soon as I get some motiviation, I'm selling it.
