that legend was great...

Okay, here's one that was told to me by George, a fisherman in Mylor, "When the wind blew from the north many moons ago a large seagull hovered high above the harbour carrying a naked man in its beak, the man was dropped in to the sea and three days later washed up on the shore (dead), no one knew the man but he had a wise message tattooed on his forearm 'put vinegar in the water before cracking the egg in'". Mind you George does wear socks on his hands.

It was funny for a paragraph or two, but just too much for me.

That's a shame, as the buyers questions are probably the funniest part .

Winners all round there.

Seller sold his suit for more than it's worth (even tho he's only getting 5%, thats still more than the suit cost new!), lots of good advertising for the companies involved and a nice lump of cash for charity

I get x-cel wetsuits wholesale. I urinate in my wetsuits frequently. Therefore I would expect everyone else to do just the same. Plus that's my raw junk floating around inside my wetsuit. Again, I'm expecting everyone else to do the same. Therefore I would NEVER buy a used wetsuit. Although, it's cool that Xcel donated a wetsuit for the cause, I'm sensing a lot of BS in this auction. Not to mention if this dude is in England, a 3/2 is not nearly a warm enough suit. 4/3 plus booties minimum.

Are there people who DON'T urinate in their wetsuits? Really?

If you pee enough, a 3/2 is plenty warm.

If they say they don't they're lying.

I thought of you when I saw this auction, Maki - that's why I posted it here.

Actually, I half wondered if you'd written it. Guess not .

Bears Don't Wear Wetsuits - A website by the same idiot that listed a urine-free wetsuit on eBay

Looks like whoever won it never actually paid. He's now getting rid of it via a "MASSIVE ****ING RAFFLE."

I like his sense of humour, he's got some good lines in the Ebay Q+A and on the site, the man don't give a flip, good luck to him.

I don't own a wetsuit, so I have to hang around the changing rooms and wait until somebody else takes off their wetsuit and hangs it up to dry, so I can urinate in it.
