Turned my wettie inside out and giant earwig (pincher bug) flopped out. Damn thing looked like it was on steroids! Last summer decent size cockroach fell out of the leg AND a Black Widow had tried to setup shop in the arm. What the HELL???
After a go out in sub 40 degree water and about an hour in a hot shower, I finally found “Mr. Happy”!
Guess that would be the thing “NOT” found in my wettie.
Did find a scorpion in my rash guard once in Costa Rica. Luckily, I always make sure to shake the hell out of anything that will touch my body when on scorpion turf.

My cousin 3-d went surfing with out bootes and then came in and put some on. His feat were so cold he did not feel the trident spear fishing tip in the booty until 15 minutes later it got stuck in his foot. After we got out of the hospital I let him keep my spear tip. Oooops…

Really, I was the only guy working at the shop who had a suit his size…
ripped ass in my wettie right before a sesh…came outta the water a few hours later, pulled the wetsuit half off…and THEN smelled it.
does that count?
LOL!!! Well, at least it counts for the “sickest” thing you’ve DONE in your wetsuit!
My wife is usually pretty happy with what she finds in MY wetsuit after a surf.
The joys of surfing togethor… Then showering togethor 
Ouch my legs!
Not so weird kind of sad…
(Side story - as a 17 year old kid, partied into the night… to much Lowy… next day epoch session… had cramps/gas so bad… swore I crapped my suit((s) as we used to call them up here due to multi-piece dive suit history…) Came in later to warm up and dry the suit a bit, was ready for the worse… only gas… Ha!) Of course the occasional 1/2 cup of course sand after heavey beach pound session.
So I went to Kauai, and I went up to some falls… Right under a “no vending” sign is a “local” looking guy selling necklaces, bracelets, and earrings out of the back of his truck, while he worked on goods next to it in his chair… my beloved woman bought a necklace for me, put it on and never took it off… about a year and a half later… back on the N.W. coast… pulling my suit of after a surf… and out falls a bunch of little stuff… I’m thinking, “wow, that’s a lot of crap in the water…” then I look and feel and notice my necklace fell apart and the beads are falling and stuck all over me… collected all I could, even found some the next day when I parked in full day light, as the day before was twilight when I got out, and use my flashlight to look for beads, and found more… still got it all in a jar 6 months later… just thought about stringing it up the other morning…
Gotta add… these new suits… Man, I have found seriously yellow, stinky “water” after many a surf… so much for the flush with the “zipperless” suit… Ha!
My best friend found a dead herring in his suit. Of course I put it there. He’s a third degree blackbelt, seen him kick alot of human ass over the years, that was growing old so we figured we’d bait him for a sea lion attack. Alot of giggling envolved as he entered the water and even more when he called out that he was being circled by sea lions.
Every year. Well, about this time of year the Oak moths proliferate in my oak trees. In fact, if I go outside at night(right now) it sounds like rain as there shit(?) falls from the trees. Anyway, I’ll have one crawl into my wet suit to form a cocoon. The little hairs itch like all hell and give me hives. Little bastards! Mike
I once came out of the water with my wesuite 1/2 down and a 4lb bug stuffed in the sleeve a day before the season opened.
“What are those antena sticking out of your suite” says the man with the badge…
Dog crap! Watching the waves instead of what was on the grass…
I don’t know what’s in my booties but it smells dead!
I was down on the Sunshine Coast in Australia and grabbed my wettie for a surf. The suit was inside out so I started pulling the sleeves and legs back through to put it on. Nearly jumped out of my skin when I felt something crawling on my arm. Looked down to see a spider nearly the size of my hand crawling up my arm. I believe you call them Huntsmen’s spiders. Luckily, I didn’t get bit as a few Aussies told me my arm would of swelled up pretty good if I had. Certainly had the adrenaline pumping for that session.
Ughhhhh…spiders freak me out!!! back in 85’ I was on patrol along the border of a little country west of Honduras when I was bit by a wicked looking yellow/black beast. Locals called it a banana spider, I called it the Devil! Got sick as a dog, hand and forearm swelled up all nice and puffy. The Army finally decided that was good enough for a free trip back to the States. Most miserable flight I’ve ever had. Apparently I was allergic to the little demon.
Hey Bart,
Someone was yanking your chain.
You gotta tease Huntsmen really bad to get them to bite. And when they do it’s like a minor steam burn from a just-boiled kettle. Not bad at all. I’ve been bitten a few times.
Gotta watch us coz we love to bait Seppos. Last time one of the boys saw a yank freak out at a Huntsy he told him that the bites go septic really quickly and sometimes require amputation 
hehe!
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve found in your wettie?
Me…
i once found my own poop in the hood of a 5/3 after a misguided squat in the dunes.
and still went back in.

We once told this guy (nationality anon) that if he ate the eyes of prawns he wouldn’t get drunk…
He got sooooo sick…
Drop bears and hoop snakes…
