The relevant portion of this track starts just after 01:00. Pretty much relevant to all watersports if you ask me. Someone should sell that T-shirt

Dude, you still don't get it... What is your kite attached to? Your harness! And where is your harness? It's wrapped around your torso! So how are you going to pull your wetsuit down below your waist with your kite still attached to your harness? And please don't tell me you are going to slide the harness down to your ankles with a kite attached to it. C'mon, you've never done what you describe because like you say, you are a fellow "pee in your wetsuit" kinda guy.Vin Stefanelli wrote:i pee in my wetsuit every time thor,

Urine is sterile when it leaves the body. Then it becomes a perfect bacteria plantation.
Urine against the skin is not good, causes rashes.
Urine attracts sharks better than blood.
Anyone working with kitesurfing (me for example) dont want to stand around all day in a wetsuit full of pee, and we are not always in the water to rinse it out. Might be a bit strange to suddenly walk out into waist deep water in front of students and suddenly get a very relieved look on your face...
Ok, zipper might be a feature only for a small group, but that small group really wants it. And what if you had one? wouldn't you use it?
I started a thread about the exact same subject a while back, and there was someone posting about sharks and urine in it. That is the only reference i have, so i cannot provide any scientifical proof other than that.Thor SFBay wrote: I wouldn't pee in my wetsuit either if I weren't in the water. If you are in the water, the urine doesn't stay around long enough to cause rashes or get infected with bacteria. Obviously that's not the case if you just stand on the beach and let it flow. But please provide proof that urine attracts sharks. I can't find any studies that prove that. Surfers float around in the water looking like seals and pee in their wetsuits all the time and still people rarely get bitten. Heck, I got hit by my fin 6 months ago and bled into the water and no sharks showed up. And that was in the Red Triangle. Sharks mostly don't want to eat boney-assed humans when there are nice fat seals to munch on.
That's all fascinating, especially the fear of sharks. First, the couple hours you spend in a wetsuit will not give you diaper rash from a little piss in the suit, that begins getting washed out the second you let it go. Second, you won't be standing around in a wetsuit full of pee unless you strap your ankles tight enough to cut off the blood supply and the legs have no vents. If I had a zipper, I might use it, as I'm cruising across the bay, because I'm certainly not going to go through the trouble to come in and land my kite, unless I had to take a crap really bad, and I don't think the zipper would cover that particular scenario.AndKite wrote:Urine is sterile when it leaves the body.

Holy crap...I missed that thread!
