yesterday the beech was cold and i was in head deep water i had my wetsuit on and i felt the need to go to the toilet i decided to just go in my westsuit although i had a littlte trouble getting it out cause i was bobbing up and down.
the feeling was rather blissful and for almost 20 seconds i felt warm.
when i was a body boarding superstar me and my mates used to brag about how good it felt.
With winter around the corner is is exceptable to urinte in your wetsuit.

but it pollutes the water like if all the windsurfers did that in our bay it would be polluted. it does keep you warm but it also makes you the best shark bait.

dude, no joke if you have sharks in ya area well chomp chomp you will be. sharks can sence ya a mile away.and they have real good eye site.

stick to the dunny in that pic of yours

I've read a few times that sharks can home in on people who have pissed in the water. Who really knows with sharks though? They seem to be quite unpredictable. If you do it make sure you thoroughly rinse your wetsuit afterwards.

but when i first hit the water. could be laziness, water temp or nerves.

As long as you don't take a dump in your wet suit you should be fine

The guys on mythbuster did a segment on this.... and it was given the official BUSTED seal.

Definitely rinse it out very well afterwards. It eats through the seams.

But it does feel good on a freezing day

Rinsing your wetsuit or sharks being attracted to people urinating in the water?

I think the question should be "who does not urinate in their wetsuit?"

Spot on Mark!!
Boardies, wetty, pretty much everyone I know does it.
Definitely good in winter for the warmth factor.
In fact beware of certain individuals who will stand upwind of you in boardies when its really windy and let loose. [}:)]

My problem a few months ago was urinating downwind with a sand dune about head hi, maybe 2m downwind of me. It was so windy it blew back at me (wind eddying around the dunes) and I damn near p1ssed on my own face.

Safer to do it in the wetty and then let some water in the neck to flush it

Always did it without thinking twice until I got a new wetty last winter with fully taped seams. Great wetsuit...keeps water out...but keeps piss in.....

Yep, had that nice warm feeling all session which was just bearable until I took my wetty off and warm piss went everywhere.....not so nice.

Same - old wetty with holes everywhere, no probs...new wetty=watertight - no way! You kinda get sprung when de-robing with mates downwind.

Hey nasty, do you think that's why the stitching in my old wetty went in the crotch first?

Any one pulled off a successful Aqua-Turd?

My mate Darius, took a turd in his wettie once, and carried on surfing as he thought it would just stay in the crack of his bum until he took the suit off.

WRONG !!

It was all over his back, right up to the neck seal and travelled down the arms !!
He absolutely stank !!!
And il always remember the two old biddys in the carpark looking absolutely horrified, they probably went away thinking we all do it!!

Reckon so - definitely did for my last one. It used to be a good uk winter suit but has now been downgraded to a good ozzie winter suit

The aqua-dump used to be pretty popular in morocco. It was much better than having to go between the rocks when everyone else had been during the night and high tide still had a way to go. Just drop your shorts and make sure you're upcurrent of anyone else with the same idea

Don't you usually go to the toilet before going out for the day?

The area between the rocks had been nicely eroded into cubicles. The only other facilities in the village were in the cafe and you had to walk up the hill and then buy something if you wanted to use them.

We nicknamed the break "toilets" (oooh the imagination)

I don't see the new wetty that seals well being a problem.
P!ss in it, then pull the neck away and dunk so you get a good 1L of water down the front of the wetty. Stand up and pull the ankles open so it flushes.
Job done.

Had to drop the wettie and do an aqua turd off Elwood one day, Bangalore Belly
(not that anyone would notice at Smellwood) I then saw a shark about 5 minutes later.
Maybe the urban mythe had the wrong end? should we get Myth Busters onto this one !!!!

Springy yes
Boardies yes
Sealed steamer No. It lingers.

New wetties seal up very well around the neck, wrists and ankles these days. You'd have to stop and flush it out.

we call it a aqua nard
not aqua turd u have to pull ur wettie down below ur knees hang onto your board and then drop the chikito bar. its great if ur a surfer and people are dropping in on u it will give u enough time to catch a few waves before ur chikito bar bomb floats away i thik that the chikito bar is genrally not exceptable in the genral public circle but funny if your around your crew in good taste.

i had a sensational windsurf this arvo but i stacked it ny sail was loose and my pole was hanging out the end of the sail i still manages to uphaul and sail back in slowly (thank god)this can be fixed yes/no ill drop it of purchace another sail and get that one fixed wheres the best place to take it
