The Temptation of Panache : What should he do?

[Colin]

Go for the boogie boarding gear. Yeah it's the end of season, but that usually means better deals for you.

Kilts and sporrans are great, but anything that enriches life and adds more fun to it is far more important than more stuff. There will always be more stuff to buy, but in the end it's the experiences of ones life that defines them, not what is hanging in the closet.

I bet you could save up for the sporran by New Years, or Burns night and I hear sharks don't like the taste of moderator.

I have to join the wetsuit concensus, but for the reason that I tried it with Scooby when we went south last summer and boogie boarding is a hoot. Boarding in northern Cal without a wetsuit is challenging in the summer; take the end of season deal, enjoy the water when you can.

On second thought, wait until you are in Victoria and get a nice dry suit than you can still use it all winter.

What you really need is a warmer ocean. Then you could swim, board, surf, fish, snorkel, and whatever else, and have the new sporran, too.

[jordanjm]

I have a solution, offer some of the sporrans, do you need 9 sporrans? for sale, and maybe get both.

Well Jamie, I would go with the wet suit as well. For very different reasons than what others have voted! (mainly, I think blue skin would clash too much with the XMTS tartan!)

...blue skin would clash too much with the XMTS tartan!)

But if he has a Braveheart tartan he could forgo the woad.

Actually I should note that I'm looking at one of those half wetsuits come down past the knees but not all the way to one's feet. The full suits seem a bit much for boogie boarding and more of a hassle to put on and take off

By the by, I promise not to post any pictures of me wearing if it if that is what is decided.

Cheers

Does it come to the top of the knee, or the trollopy and ever too long length of bottom of the knee?

[Panache]

Standard,

It comes to the knee

I was actually doing OK for the most part without a wetsuit but thought that something that kept my core warmer would be helpful (and less sun burned)

Cheers
