The Peconic Puffin

A blog about a group of windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts, and their friends. Established 1993.

It began when my father-in-law briefly thought that a body was hanging in our bathroom (a wetsuit.) Then at the site of these booties my mother-in-law believed I had passed out in the bathtub. But once The Horse’s Mouth picked up the Scary Neoprene thread, things started to roll. His latest evidence is this wetsuit. I counter with an item from the same era, which my wife ordered me to take to the dump but which I’ve had secreted in the shed against such a moment. Behold!Wetsuit


If I’d been wearing this when Christie Brinkley drove by, I don’t think she would have stopped to chat.

    Trying to imagine the shape of the person who fits into that! If you are in any distress on the water at least theres a chance you will be spotted from the air!

    Impressive indeed. A worthy contender in the ugly gear contest!
