Hello hello,

So here I am chillin in California and seeing everyone surfing and it looks like a lot of fun so Im am tempted to give it an attempt... but I am somewhat worried about it, I mean, laying flat on my stomy plus the wet conditions, plus let say that the wet suits are quite revealing... Has anyone surfed in that condition, how did it go?

.. been thinking about that a lot myself... no, i'm not in California, but i DO like to surf,.. and i fully intend to get back on a board .,...  so the wetsuit is a little "revealing"... so what?..not everyone's gonna see it,.. may FEEL that way, but it ain't so! I was thinking about putting some padding around the bag, see how that works.  As far as the seal staying intact goes,. well, i'm thinking that if it's been put on recently the seal SHOULD stay intact for a day of surfing...(yes, i have an AMAZING grasp of the obvious,..

, )... all you can do is try it and see. Have you ever heard of the Better Life Ostomy Belt?.. it's a handy little invention,.. keeps the bag held firmly in place against your stomach.. works for me.. i just got back from a day of dirt biking in the mountains.. no problems. You seem like a smart girl,.. try a few things.. see what works for you.   Good Luck!!... let me know how you make out
