Lindsay Lohan

Ok, that was just a shameless attempt to increase traffic on my blog. I actually don't even know who Lindsay Lohan is, but there are eight million hits on her. I know, it's not even the demographic I want to attract. What does my demographic search for? Extra-long women's board shorts to cover up extra cellulite? (They don't seem to exist, trust me).

Speaking of apparel, my wetsuit problem has been solved, at least temporarily! I switched wetsuits with K. What a difference! Hers is a Bodyglove 5/4/3 with attached hood (as opposed to my Ripcurl 5/3) . I didn't think that 4 mil thing would make a difference, but it really does, it makes all the difference in the world. I was toasty warm for nearly two hours, while she (like me in my suit) began getting cold at one hour.

It was great and even made me surf better (and she surfed worse), proving conclusively that coldness affects surfing ability. I didn't even feel like I deserved hot chocolate afterwards, but had some anyway in solidarity with K, who was freezing. I also let her use the shower first to thaw out and she said "That was the best shower I ever had."

So the best thing about winter surfing doesn't have to be the hot shower afterwards, the surfing only a means to that end! Who knew!

Now I gotta hook up with a suit like that.
