Nice shot! It reminds me of winter surfing when I was in my late teens and early twenties. Back then, late 60's-early 70's we only had diving wet suites which consisted of booties, pants, top, hoodie, and mittens. The top had a flap in the back which went under the crotch and twist snapped to eyelets in the front. The snaps always badly pressure dented the gel coat when paddling. We all dreaded the initial filling of the suit with ice cold seawater, but afterwards it was fairly comfortable for up to 45 minutes or so. The problem with a two piece suit occured when falling in feet first. The top would instantly "inflate" with icy water as it rushed past the jacket/pants overlap. It was paralyzingly cold, and one fall like that usually ended your day. I still remember standing in a take-out place in Ocean City waiting for our "warm-up" lunch in our wet suits leaking ocean water all over their floor. Those were the days.....
