Convenient though, and useful. 30$ total cost. Ouch.    wetsuit hanger.jpg  kitemare Since 23 Mar 2010 265 Posts Seattle, wa Obsessed Wed Apr 18, 12 8:10 pm     next time, just go to the dollar store and get some foam pool noodles. $.99 and I've covered several hangers worth. Works great. _________________ Respect the kite, respect the beaches $ociopath Since 28 Nov 2007 523 Posts Twilight Zone Addicted Wed Apr 18, 12 8:15 pm     I can return everything but the 1.48$ cap I drilled. What is a pool noodle? WINDUDE Since 10 Jun 2010 558 Posts GORGE! Addicted Thu Apr 19, 12 7:26 am     I seem to do just fine with regular hangers, the regular way pretty sweet though! glad to see you were drinking beer during the project! _________________ i like to kite the board kitemare Since 23 Mar 2010 265 Posts Seattle, wa Obsessed Thu Apr 19, 12 8:02 am     Here's a link to an image. I find that they work well since they don't absorb water and don't get funky. You just cut them with a knife to the right length of your hanger and you're good to go. I use a regular hanger size for my 4/3, shorty and impact vest but found a beefy diameter hanger for my 7mm. Hope this helps. I bought most of mine from the dollar next to Rosauers in HR but walmart, walgreens, or most 99 cent stores should have them once it warms up a little. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=pool+noodle&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&sa=N&biw=1280&bih=685&tbm=isch&tbnid=DD0cjXI6Vn419M:&imgrefurl=http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-290885-pool-noodles.php&docid=TdX-qLMva59qzM&imgurl=http://i.istockimg.com/file_thumbview_approve/290885/2/stock-photo-290885-pool-noodles.jpg&w=380&h=285&ei=hDWQT9L0HueJiAKouJXGAw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=473&vpy=190&dur=2660&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=133&ty=128&sig=100376543977013426346&page=1&tbnh=144&tbnw=206&start=0&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0,i:87    P4190001.JPG     P4190002.JPG  _________________ Respect the kite, respect the beaches Wind Slither Since 04 Mar 2005 2573 Posts The 503 METAL Thu Apr 19, 12 8:28 am     WINDUDE wrote: I seem to do just fine with regular hangers, As long as you don't leave them hanging for too long. Back in the day I was working at a windsurfing shop and had no idea. I hung up a whole rack of 4/3's on regular hangers. Half way into the summer, the shoulders were all wasted sending about 50 suits to the landfill.

Used to use regular hangers but noticed they tend to deform/damage wetsuit if left hanging too long. Will try these this season! _________________ SAY WHAT YOU MEAN, MEAN WHAT YOU SAY lloyd Since 16 Aug 2007 108 Posts Hood River Stoked Thu Apr 19, 12 6:38 pm     Been throwing my suit in the back of my truck for years. Folded, crinkled, wet. I've found it under car jacks, tool boxes and 2x4's. Never been on a hanger. The stank washes off once you're in the water.......

I like the hanger he made, looks like in addition to your wet suit it could hold about a 12 pack if you were to pour the bottles into it. _________________ www.cautionkites.com IKO Kiteboarding Instructor http://www.ikointl.com/water.php        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
