i dive, so i get the daily newslater from scuba.com telling me about sales or new items.

anyways. i just got on my email. and it showed a wetsuit heater. its a belt you where under your suit and you can push a button on it anytime, and it heats you up? i think thats how it works. does anyone use one? just curious

those are pretty cool ideas. however i dont really see them being a necessity for wakeboarding. i only use a 3/2 and ride in water that gets into the 40s durring the winter and never am cold in my body. my hands and head get cold but thats it. i can see it being useful diving because you not moving around as much as wakeboarding.

Agreed Callen. Generally its my face and hands that suffer. Where it hurts to smile and grabbing the board is pins and needles.

Divers get cold from being under for an hour or more with no light, no heat and not enough activity to keep you warm.

The ripcurl suit is all you would ever need. Danger said it was the shiz at the Boards, Bull and Bikinis last year. 40* air that evening.
