Jonathan--

Easy to get into a wetsuit--no bathroom is necessary. It can be done in a parking lot, on a road side, at the beach, or on a boat dock. (It is not be easy in a Ford Escort, though.)

Wrap a large beach towel around your waist and tuck it in so it stays put. Pull your shorts off underneath the towel. Pull the wetsuit on up to your waist underneath the towel. Remove the towel. Remove your shirt and pull the top on too. That's all there is to it.

Like wearing nothing under the wetsuit, this is a tried and true technique. Beware of your buddies yanking the towel off at the wrong (right) time, though...

BTW, I used to live in Hillsborough, up the road from you. Great area. And yes, this technique worked there when I lived in North Carolina too.
