Buy it before you go, otherwise you fall into the captive customer trap, Try your local Decathlon (if you have one) or a Tesco Superstore they sometimes stock wetsuits in the summer

good luck

If you want one that lasts get it from somenwhere like http://www.boardridersguide.com/category/Departmen... they have good deals usually. My O'Neill summer suit had been in use for five years so far and is still going strong. Cheap Tesco ones use cheap restrictive neoprene.

Whilst no beach bum, I'd like a brand name that I would then hope to last me over the summers.

Decathlon is a good idea, but none near me.

Leaving it a bit late for mail order I think (just my luck I'll end up with the wrong size!) so I'll look when down there.

Thanks peeps.

yep- bought my first wetsuit from them almost 20 years ago- its not far to drive, or you could take the ferry to rock, walk down daymer bay and cross the headland

Can't answer that, but just wanted you to know that it was lovely and sunny on Thursday when I was walking around the coast from Mawgan Porth towards Padstow.

Wonderful smile

We need this rain I know, but next week I hope for some sun shine at least.
