Pro Tip I learned the hard way: Don't pee while submerged in a wetsuit. Its not nearly as porous as one would hope in this situation.

- gfs 8y agoWhile this is true, I would do this to add a little extra warmth when surfing in the cold waters on the central coast. As long as I gave my suit a good rinse after, it was never a problem.
- jtms 8y agoI was canyoning down a cold stream up in the mountains and didn't realize the implications of my actions until it was too late (ie: back in the van, reeking of urine) :-)
- dvschramm 8y agoAll I do is pee in my suit, just flush it!
- stronglikedan 8y agoI'm picturing you wearing your wetsuit to a movie theater so you don't miss anything.

My instructor told us to pee in our suits if we were getting into cold waters or found ourselves having passed through a particularly unpleasant thermocline. It saves a few minutes of discomfort while you wait for your body to heat the water trapped by your suit. It doesn't seem to add any additional cleaning steps either.
