Have friends staying with us here in Hood River who are visiting from Australia. The dude's a kiter, but because he's on a one month trip all-around the U.S. with his family, he didn't bring any of his kiting gear. I've got him mostly covered with my equipment, however, he's 6'4" and he didn't bring a wetsuit... Any ideas? Rental? Rolling Eyes

Hey Jim,

Some of the kite and windsurf schools have wetsuits for their students use. I am sure they would rent.

This might be as cheap as renting... Not sure if it's the right size.

Be safe while using rental wetsuits!

begs, please remember that, just like line length, smaller sizes may be faster and more controllable. the larger sizes permit you to develop a longer "powerstroke."

They do have cheap used wetsuits, and they are FAR more ghetto than a rented or borrowed one...

The warm weather brudu from Brisbane forgot about the cold as soon as he hit the water. ...He was amazed by the variety of conditions from the sandbar; slick to swell.

We do rentals as well as used and closeout suits. Oh, and we have the largest selection of wetsuits in the NW. (plug)
