wasting water!? haha!! ur daily shower uses probably 20-50x that amount of water. and thats nothing compared to watering ur lawn, washing ur car, etc. wow but that one gallon of hot water is such a waste!

this works so nicely! I live and surf in Rhode Island and a nice hot bottle of water wrapped in a towel and thrown in an insulated cooler keeps it steaming hot after a 2 hour sesh. Definatly a vhallange getting out of a wettie when it’s cold as shit out.

Dunno about this one, gotta stay warm but what a way to waste water! Better off just investing in a good wetty and paddling a bit harder?

Hmmm, good ideas but I agree with Guy. I think changing quickly is the secret. That said, I’ve never surfed up North where shit gets seriously cold before. This might come in handy.

It’s hard to take this seriously when there are palm trees in the background. How long does it take to fill those jugs in the morning with hot water? I surf in the Pacific NW and could see this being handy, but not sure if it would be worth the hassle.

I’ll take Morgan one further. In Maine, live near your home break and don/doff wetsuits inside. Really cold and snowy? Do it in the shower. Only nutcases and Vermonters show their flesh here in the winter.

A bit different for us here in New England. We surf the winter when the water gets down to 36ish… air can get way below freezing. Hot water jugs are a good idea, But you can also store them in an insulated cooler to keep them warmer in your car while you surf. I bet throwing the towel/bottle combo in a cooler would keep it all extra warm.

Thanks Guys! I tried this today ( i live in Ventura and have to surf early in the mornings before work. I’ve seen people doing this before but you guys inspired me to give it a try. Its amazing how much of a difference that warm water makes. I was toasty the whole day!
Keep up the good work, can’t wait to see what’s neext.

Nice, I like to ride my bike to the beach. After going up the hill to my house, I’m well on my way to being warm..
