Hey Bubba...Back to Ya...(saving a text)

Got a GoPro HD Hero Camera. Wish I was able to put it on for the boat for the Steeplechase run to the Card Sound bridge. The firehose run was insane.

I got a dry suit that fits great. the gaskets are tight though. how tight should they be? is this something i should just get used to?

You want them water tight but not choking-tight. Trim them by using good scissors or a razor blade to cut away concentric circles of gasket until you get a fit you like. Some have ribs to give you a guide.

Be careful cutting. I stretched my neck seal over a saucepan to trim it carefully. If you get to diagonal it will rip right to the fabric. I know, I've seen it happen.
