Yes, it's all about looking the goods.

Now that's no excuse.
Sausage, you're going to have to come clean...
Why were you reading that magazine?
i really need a custom set of boardies now!!!!
Laurie can we please get some seabreeze boardies made in some sweatshop in china that have the red polka dots over yellow, and then you can sell them in the online shop. Guarranteed winner!!!
Yes it is true. I've worn boardies over my wettie. Was on a kiting course - and when in Rome.. The hardest thing is putting them on, OVER THE WETTIE, for the first time. Gotta bite your lip
to stop bursting out laughing and attracting even more attention to yourself. After 10 minutes it feels perfectly natural.
But it was a very short stint, now I'm back to windsurfing in opaque shrink wrap. We've got to get over it and become fashionably respectable.
Apparently these guys have never been surfing, or on a dive boat, or to their local public pool, for that matter.
I don't recall anyone telling Kieren Perkins to put some boardies on over his speedos!
Guys, if it's too small you can always blame the cold. ![]()
I think it's un-Australian not to make the beaches look like sausage factories. In fact, it's a bloody duty. And until our nation's greatest sportsman cover the snag, I'll never, repeat NEVER, wear boardies over my wetsuit clad tackle.
Bugger, could't find a bigger photo to ram home the point, but you know what I'm saying.
Now, I'm going to guess most kiters are young. Yes?
So let me get this straight. They cover up any bulge in their wetsuit,
but they'll happily walk through a shopping centre with their arse hanging out for all to see?!

It seems royalty agrees with you Mikey..and was impressed.. totally Australian and worth the effort
So they are saying that the kiters are all walking around looking at each others crotches? sounds a bit like Mardi Gras to me..
