I go through them quickly and I’m too cheap to pay the big guys $30 to 35 each. One thing I’ve learned is the lycra ones are garbage. The spandex ones hold up much better. So I found this guy on the net selling really good quality spandex ones for $16 to 18. He’s at “liquidpeace.net” . I bought a couple and they’re the best I’ve had - no bull.
best thing I’ve read all day. Many thx
Pat,
You wouldn’t have this problem if you weren’t spending all your time in Costa Rica and were up here bitching about trashing your wetsuits with the rest of us…
Thanks for the source - price is right. 50+ UV protection too - like that…
Pete
Hey Pete - I’m in N.Y. now for a month, then heading back - how’s you’re rental unit been working out for you. Regards.
I can’t remember the last time I used a rashguard.

Once the doctors start hacking cancers off of you rashguards become part of your wardrobe.
Same here. Once the wetsuit companies stopped doing rolled/overlock seams, I never had a use for one.
And, what’s with all the tourist fools who wear them as everyday attire? Might as well wear an “I’m a douchebag” sign around your neck. One day, I was in the checkout line at the grocery store and right in front of me is a father/son duo wearing matching rashguards and trunks. Of course, their rashguards were tucked into their trunks. This was miles inland from the beach.Too funny.
I like to wear black knee socks with mine ,
I've seen the same thing a few years back. Some man came into the shop where i used to work wearing a long sleeved wetsuit top. It was 28 deg outside (whatever it is in other units....1000000 or something) and sunny. 1.5 hours from any water....
thanks for the info patrickfreen... http://liquidpeace.net/blacklsrg.html
HA, i was at a public, indoor, heated pool for my niece's first birthday.
this dad walks by with 2 kids probably about 9 or 10. they had short wetsuits, earplugs,
swim caps, goggles and water socks. all in ridiculous neon colors.
First trip to Puerto Rico - mid-February '69 - dead of winter at home…paddled out for first surf and woke up the next day with ping pong ball sized blisters on my back. Young, stupid but feeling invincible…now I have to see the dermatologist every 3 months. Wish we had them then…
For all the shits and giggles here…they do help…
Pat - the rental in C.R. is holding it’s own - 'bout paying expenses but not enough to pay me for a free trip down…Hope to catch up to you there soon.
P.
Pete - so far I’ve bought my dermatologist a mercedes -now working on a bmw for his wife - HA!
