Sorry for the late response, haven't been on here. Nah, I just go in my rip curl surf suit. I'm also polespearing with a slip tip. I just happened to talk to your buddy that day you got stung.
Yeah man those rays were THICK for a bit there! I was going in off the rocks at the jetty just to avoid them !
Just saw your post about the two halis you took, nice man. Sounds like they are in. I'm going out thursday morning to either MBJ or la jolla and would be stoked with just one of those.
