Aussie beach wear & Uk surf don't mix!

Heres a quick photo of me after a surf at Croyde Thursday 1st June 2006.
The weather was gorgeous, the waves were pooh (1ft tops!) so I thought I'd go in with just a rashy & boardies for half hour only so I'd not have to rinse the wetsuit.
I was in for 40 minutes (caught 3 waves!) & shivering for 60 minutes on exit....
