Dec 30 2009For Surfing (In Space!): Star Trek Wetsuits
These wetsuits from Roddenberry.com are designed to look like the uniforms from the original Star Trek series. They range in price from $435-$470, depending on the thickness of material (3mm - 7mm) you choose and you'd have to be an idiot to go surfing in a red one. Sharks yo, just sayin'.
These wetsuits are not novel gimmicks, they are the real deal, made using the highest quality materials and expert craftsmanship. Each individual wetsuit is custom made and tailored to your exact measurements for a perfect fit and unmatched performance. This is the ultimate in warmth and exposure protection when exploring strange new worlds!
I hate to break it to you, but the ultimate in warmth and exposure protection when exploring strange new worlds isn't a wetsuit -- it's the inside of a heated cockpit. One with a fireplace. You hear me, Khan?! Some like it hot -- and I'm one of them. (shovel another coal into my b)
Thanks to Matt, who once wrestled a shark to death with his bare hands. That was a nurse shark, Matt, and you outta be ashamed.

Dear GW writer:
Please don't use coal for heat in a confined space. Carbon monoxide poisoning is odorless, quick, and deadly. You wouldn't wanna suffocate inside your spaceships now, don't you? I mean, who else is gonna make me laugh after you are gone?!?

I was actually at the Dive Club meeting when Rod Roddenberry told us about the wetsuits, he also has awesome Drysuits with the emblem too. He has a Dive Club called Roddenberry Dive Team, i think thats what it is called.

@ GW
Hate to break it to you but Matt wasn't "wrestling" those nurse sharks, but you were right about how he should be ashamed....

I always thought the costumes looked a little like wetsuits.
@9... fuck you.

Inconcievable! After ten minutes in the pacific my wang looks like a dried apricot.
Too bad they don't make surf wetsuits that look like star trek uniforms. And TNG, if at all possible.
