Shits been so cold here -4 to -6 for the last week in the mornings, left my wettie on the line one night it was frozen solid when i went to put it on, gutted!!!

At least the surf has turned on in the last week or two had some pretty amazing sessions as well, looks like it is going to continue for a bit as well!!!!

I will be stoked to see some longer and warmer days when they come

yeah crazy brad!stuff that .
i feel the change in our water.according to niwa we've had 1.7degree less on our water temp highs.
does not sound like much ,but factor that into the morning barba and sunny weather over the last 2 weeks has brought snow melt down to rivers aswell
normally we get cold water in late october and november from this .

why not try a hotsuit? surely something heating up to 50deg cel is going to help, im saving for one. surfing cold sucks.

50 degree's!!wtf,your from napier right?your water is f#$king some of the warmest on the east coast
.
10 degree waters f%$king cake in a good/well sealed wetty these days.
just for pussy summer surfers

yeah ok he-man your the master of the universe.

nah nah nah dont be condescending faggoat
have you ever surfed in tropical water its like 20-28 degrees and is not even refeshing if its freaking hot out.so 50 would make u fuking pass out.its ok
U DONT KNOW

the unit heats to 50 deg which you can adjust, but if the outside water is say 10deg, it would probably be like something between 15-22deg in your suit.... i very much doubt the unit would make you too warm...

how about when i get one, i will let you know how it goes.... eithers its good or i will die of heat exhaustion ;P
i have a bad back, 10 deg might sound warm to you, but tell that to my back.

Its crazy in dunners at mo, I will be the first to admit I'm a 'pussy summer surfer', but I also go out in autum and spring too. Have footy 4 days a week on top of study to keep myself busy unless Arahs is going off its tittys. Other than that the closest I get to the water is eating KFC at John Willy!! Ha

Respect to all you sth boys

Went out at Wanganui River mouth on Sunday the bloody sand was frozen, surprisingly once you were in was quite warm.

How the fuck would 50 degrees in a suit in water temps of 10 degrees = 15-22 degrees? What the fuck are you even talking about you rollerblading faggot?

Oh and just for everyone elses sake dont hold back and get a 50 degree suit bro. Get an 80 degree one just to ensure you DO die from heat exhaustion. No point getting the job only half done right..........

haha classic once again a perfectly good thread has been turned to shit by the one and only.....


we only had -3 this morning sweet.....

well im no scientist but i would imagine, water temp, air temp, and wind would not, at a guess be 50deg, therefore although you have something pumping out that much heat, theres those factors that counter it.... um DUH.

and i ruined a thread? boo hoo its cold, ok heres a possible soulution to your problem, boo hoo you ruined a thread, seriously?

this thread is horseshit

Im pissed off at the mo, my hoods gone walking and it would be a treat but seriously its not even that cold, I'd be moaning if it where October and still this cool.

From memory it was a cooler summer anyways

Dont listen to Crim, Onefoot. YOU KNOW

I did buy once of those heated kidney belts by Hotsuits.
Just wanted to check out the technology,
and yes it is warm but the first one they sent was faulty,
and it took a complaint to paypal to get them to rectify.

I think the technoloy will work in the long term.

And yes it does get to 50 celcius but that is the maximum temperature.

crim, other than the morning chill the water westside is positively balmy. I had to strip off my hoodie, gloves, booties and panties just to keep cool the other day. true dinks. Maybe avoid that barber ay.

so gizza, would you recommend one? does it make much difference? do you use the chemical or the battery one?

I brought the battery one, mainly because the electric signals attracts sharks.
This leaves me a big gap in the lineup.

The cold hasn't been an issue, I thought my kidneys were close to being cooked.

With the USD-NZD being high probably cheaper to buy online.

cool, i am going to just get the chemical one as its cheaper. i would like the battery version but yeah, maybe later i will upgrade.

fuck it.
this time of year..
go snowboarding.

that is all.
my 2c

lol i hear ya pronegrl but i just bougt my wetsuit heater for 60 bucks so i have no excuse to stay dry now.

hey onefoot.
FUCK YOU

do you have protection?

Honestly this winter has been fack all so far in Dunedin(touch wood).Water still isn't that cold I don't recken.All you need is a hood to keep out those ice cream head aches.No worries.

west coast for waves, east coast for snowboarding,
and onefoot.... YOU WONT

Hey nmd soldier...fark you up the ass with that name pussy and invert you model wannabe, put a shirt on next time a cameras out faggot

1. rutts

a vagina that was so heavily ravaged that it is now described as looking like a rutted out mud hole that some 44 inch tires have tore up.

see u guys harp on about ruininng a thread... at least i was writting about the issue, "winter being cold this year", sure you might agree with what i say, but my point was on topic, where as you guys are just hurling abuse at the scape goat.
you guys need jesus.

This winter has been the warmest I can remember for years on the east coast. Just those bloody river mouths, melted snow straight off the hills. -4 sounds damn cold though Uramit bugger that

hey robbo did you get any gopro vid from the recent pics you posted?

ohh uramit, you missed the mean session yesterday!
haha i hope it was worth it...

damn that water was cold, but boy it was sick.

and hey, sweet crib bro!

I know i seen the pics spewing!!!!!!!!

My back is sooo fucked today though I can hardly walk I think i have a pinched nerve of slipped disc??? There is no way i would of been able to surf anyway yesterday.... now i have to have more un-needed time out of the water.......

hahaha aran pure gold
bradley wana back rub

Yes please......... Happy ending???????

bahahahahahaha
well now you know exactly where to go for those brad

your house erica?

I know exactly what you mean bro I had the same thing and from time to time it comes back usually in winter they couldn't tell if i had a slipt disc or pinched nerve either but had no x-rays.

The best thing for it is voltaren 25 bro take 4 (the first time only) then 2, 3-4 times a day (3 is prob enough) and then once you get a handel on it cut back to 1 pill 3-4 times a day and faze them out should be sweet in 2-3 weeks otherwise see a pyhsio or whatever

Oh and don't forget back extensions (BMAX would love those)they work a treat

oh i did get one of those hotsuits, there bloody brilliant, for 70 bucks from bodyline in tauraunga.
with that and booties i felt toasty as in the sea yesterday.

ive been going out in my 2ml legless.
farrrk after 2 hours i cant walk up the beach

"The best thing for it is voltaren 25 bro take 4 (the first time only) then 2, 3-4 times a day"

2 pills 3-4 times a day = 8 pills......over a 2-3 week period? did I read that wrong?

Thats some bad advice........Unless your goal is to shit blood not reduce inflamation

Dr Damon haha

Haha yeah I thought that was some straight up medical genius from Damon. Voltaron are pretty strong, I think on the pack it reccomends to start with 2 then take 1 daily. Im all for excessive drug use and dependency though - straight up Chandler off of Friends addicted to Panadols styles.

was cold today at blaketown.straight up nasty wedges coming through aswell.solid 4-ft and heavy.some potential there
