Flesh colored wetsuits for kiting...fashion statement?

Postby tomatkins » Fri Aug 15, 2008 7:15 pm

The following was taken from this site:

http://www.easyreadernews.com/story.php ... D=20032908


“We designed and manufactured wetsuits for Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu in Charlie’s Angeles.” Sterr said. “Jon got to meet them and measure them, but I got to measure Salma Hayek for the movie ‘After Sunset.”
Over the years, JMJ has done wetsuits for Samuel Jackson and the rest of the cast in “Deep Blue Sea,” and the specially designed the blue and yellow dive suits for Mike Myers, Beyonce Knowles, and Verne J. Troyer (mini-me) in Austin Powers 3: Goldmember. They crafted the nude suits (wetsuits that go under clothing and are flesh color) for the movie “Pearl Harbor” and “The Perfect Storm,” and designed custom orders for other numerous productions."

Since kiters (unlike Windsurfers) wear board shorts over their wet suits, my question is: Would "perfect tan" (nude) brown wetsuits be a fashion enhancement for kiting?

I have never seen a brown colored wetsuit, myself, but then again I had never seen board shorts worn over a wetsuit either.

I use a board shorts to protect my wetsuit when the tide is low since there is quite a lot of shells on the beach (And it works, my shorts is full of holes, but wetsuit aint damaged). In addition, I use it to hide my big...... :lol:
