Hi! I'm Adam and I'm 14. I have just started getting into surfing and diving - going to Cornwall in the summer so thought I would give it a go. My next door neighbour has a spare surf board and takes me surfing as often as we possibly can. But my problem is my diving gear - and a wetsuit.
The wetsuits I borrow are usually old, ripped and smelly - which isn't nice to wear. I was looking today on the net - and came across a few, but they were all about £100. To be honest, I haven't got £10, never mind £100.
I also want to get into things like freediving and normal diving - but can't find any really cheap kit. Boots, gloves, socks and fins are really expensive for a kid of my age!
I don't mean to sound like a blagger, but I was wondering if any of you have any old wetsuits and other kit that you are prepared to send to me for pretty much nothing - my budget is very very small. Nothing has to be top notch - just something so that I can get into the sport. Looks really fun and exciting, but its too cold to go out into the sea in just swimming shorts!
Thanks for all your help, and hopefully some positive news on the way!
