Default Wetsuits balooning!!

This is very frustrating, I've got 2 wetsuits, my winter one is a Billabong Foil and I also have a Tiki x-rated flatstiched summer suit. Both seem to collect alot of water around my ankles and calves...I'm talking about a litre in each leg. I have to go in to sort it out. any ideas?

Is your suit tucked into your boots/socks? There's your answer.

Wetsuit over your socks and water can drain out.

Nothing funnier than cankles coming out the surf!

Thumbs up

Thanks for the tip. I'm glad it does not involve shelling out 250 on a new suit!
Cos I havn't had this one for long.

defo socks over you wetsuit as the cause, had the same problem when i started, legs felt like concrete with all that water. Stick em under your wettie and that should sort it as the guys have said.
