HI all, I'm new to the forum, and sport. Looking for some cheap gear to get started. Gun, wetsuit, fins, belt, mask, float etc....... and anything else I might need. Im about 176cm, 78 kg's. Guy in the shop reckons thats around a size 54...? Size 11US or 10 UK for shoes. Not sure what that converts to in fins. I can be contacted on 0412 382 032 Cheers |

OK guys, nows the chance to offload all that shit gear that's never going to be used again to a noob  Just joking, I don't have anything for sale myself but you should be able to get a few odds and ends here. When you find stuff elsewhere let us no and there is enough decent folk here to let you know whether it's any good or not. |

Thanks guys. The fins sound good. Where are you based? What size shoe do you wear? I haven't been sized for fins. I'm a US 11 UK10. Do you think they will fit me? Also was looking at this Second hand wetsuit. Maddog 3.2mm for about $100. Anyone think it would be any good? Link below.. http://melbourne.gumtree.com.au/c-Stuff ... Z341409208 |

It's not a spearos suit. You want longjohns and a jacket with a built in hood. loading pads for a speargun are pretty good as well. |

Fins are about an 8-9. Might be a tad tight, if you have no booties and a narrow foot. Let me know what you think. Cheers |

No go on the wetsuit then...... I'm going to buy the gun and float tomorrow from this shop, so I'll try on some fins and see if yours will be any good. |

So you think just the top and some board shorts is the go in summer? |

I feel the cold so personally I would recommend bottoms to but I think it would get you through summer... you dont have an old second hand surfing wetsuit like a 4/3 or 3/2 or can get one of a friend, thats what i started out in.. Fine for summer |

Just be aware of what a Smooth-skin wetsuit is. I believe they damage easy so no good for shoving your arms into sharp ledges for crays etc... At the same time it is a good price and i have brought from MKA twice now, good bloke. |

Yeah, he is a good bloke, I went around yesterday and bought the top and bottom off him. It is reall good actually, went to the beach for a swim and didn't feel the cold at all, was warm actually. Just a bit hard to get on and off...... And I didn't realsied how buoyant it was going to make me.....I need a weight belt bad! |
