Another one of my aquatic activities is scuba diving, where I wear a wet suit most of the time. And when you gotta go, you gotta go. Theres a saying in diving - When it come it peeing in your wet suit, there are two types of divers. Those that do it, and those that lie about not doing it. >Do they really rinse out?

Of course, a kayaker's body position would make them inherently less comfy than they would be for a diver. But maybe you could send me the shop's eaddress or phone number?
