“There are two types of surfers in the world – those who admit to peeing in their suit and those who lie about it.
Peeing in your wetsuit is an accepted, nay, a respected part of the surf world. Trust me, everyone does it.
Give me a surfer who actually leaves a great set to get out of the water, walk up the beach and peel off their suit to wee, before wiggling back into it and heading back in and I’ll eat my leash.
A quick pee gives you a great few seconds of warmth between waves
Not only is peeing in your suit an easy way to stay in the water for longer, it also has positives of its own.
When you’re surfing cold waters, a quick pee gives you a great few seconds of warmth between waves, making you at least believe that you can stay in a little longer before you get the shivers.
Women’s Wetsuits For Surfing: Which Is The Best Summer Wetsuit?
When you make your way out of the sea at the end of a good session, those who have whizzed in their suit will also find they don’t have to peel it off their body so aggressively (not a proven point, but a widely agreed one).
Of course, people will argue that peeing in a nylon suit is unhygienic and will ruin the material.
If you’ve just spent a few hundred pounds on a great suit and are feeling precious, go ahead and hold it in.
Learn to rinse the thing properly when you get out! If you’re wanting a suit to last, you should be doing it anyway
For the rest of us however, you just need to learn to rinse the thing properly when you get out. If you’re wanting a suit to last, you should be doing it anyway!
So to all the doubters, I say give a go. Next time you surf, let it all go and give the old wetsuit pee a try. I dare you….”
