Re: [Paddlewise] Wet suit etiquitte

   I pretty much grew up in wet suits. I have worn nothing, Speedo type suits 
and board shorts - not all at the same time :-) It pretty much depends on the 
situation and the suit. Surfers generally go commando and do the street dance 
getting in and out of the suit. They wear thinner one piece suits that can be 
quickly changed into and out of under a towel. When you get to the thicker 
diving type suits they will often be so constricting as to require a Houdini 
straight jacket type contortionist struggle that a towel around the waist will 
simply not conceal. 
   Board shorts can be a pain when the legs roll up and bunch when you are 
pulling on the suit. With a bit of effort you can get your hand under the wet 
suit and straighten things back out so that everything is once again hunky dory. 
The Lycra suits are easier, but not everyone is comfortable parading around 
in skin tight shorts. Wearing nothing at all underneath your new wetsuit is the 
simplest by far but the most difficult to get into and out of in public with 
some discretion.
   So the bottom line here is that it's pretty much up to you.
