I'm not very attached to the original h2o series due to the fact it was forced and used only for comedy, like any other nickelodeon live action.

But I like to think about things from the previous version did better in the cartoon remake, which had actual dynamics underwater and storylines like a modern fairytale rather than only characters walking around and getting in embarassing situations and there wasn't any logic even in the warnings to the characters, I'm sure the adaptation did better unlike others.

That's why I imagined my version of how Will Benjamin would be in this cartoon, same skills but unlike then not a nosy guy and only finds put casually.

I honestly like to ship Rikki & Emma for the MA version since Emma has a childish type of crush attitude and needs to let it go but I got attached to the ship of Will & Rikki in the live action and most of the fans get it would've been pontential too, since in the cartoon Zane Bennett didn't got better and remained a jerk (even though it's supposed to be a show for younger kids) it's fair for Rikki to have another one, even though she's strong on her own.

I was thinking about this versions of them meeting like in Jaw but instead of the same script they talk about themselves after Will saves Rikki from a group of bullies, he doesn't go directly to Mako island and has no idea what to do except his passions like in the original and Rikki sees him again finding him in the situation of s3 ep14 (peraphs it happens off screen in the episode 3 days underwater).

How To Select The Perfect Men's Training Swimwear In 4 Simple Steps

Men need to select appropriate mens swimwear as the same goes for effective swimming exercises performed in water. Easy four steps for selecting the best men's training swimwear.

1. Prioritise Comfort: Ensuring Unrestricted Movement

Men also need training swimwear that is comfortable and breathable too. Make sure they are wearing the very best-fitting swimwear, swim trunks, or swim briefs. Go for elastic waistbands with drawstrings that will allow you to go ahead with different swimming and exercise strokes.

2. Durability Matters: Investing In Long-Lasting Performance

Thus, the men training swimwear worn by male athletes must be resistant to all pool activities. Select a fabric for swimmers' suits that is strong and fast drying, with a permanent fit. It was also reinforced with strong stitches, and using a well woven material ensured that it would last longer. By buying old brands during your workout, you will be looking after yourself whilst you are in swimwear.

3. Optimal Style AndFunction: Balancing Looks With Performance

The balance of style and functionality should also be maintained. As far as buying is concerned, pick on those men's training swimsuits with fancy designs that will keep you nice while in water when on your shopping spree. Ensure that your swimmers are always those that leave you feeling good throughout; they could be in simple basic colours or flamboyant designs.

4. Chlorine-Resistant Features: Preserving Quality InPool Water

The prolonged use of pool water that was treated with chlorine can affect swimming gear. As you buy your pair of training swimwear, make sure that it is made of chlorine-resistant fabric. This is a great point, as it ensures that colour, flexibility and fullness are maintained even after continuing exposing the fabrics to chlorines. Buying quality training gear like chlorine resistant swimwear saves you money by not having to keep replacing them often.

Conclusion

When choosing men's swimwear, factors such as style of dress, suitability for use in chlorinated pools, durable properties and comfort become of great importance. Prioritising on these factors will help you in making an informed decision that will improve your performance and, at the same time, ensure your swimwear is with you all through the journey of training.

# WAVE OF YOU | CL16

Charles is spending summer in Australia with his friends when he meets a very pretty girl and her dog at the beach.

Pairings: Charles Leclerc x Fem!Reader Content Warnings: A little meet-cute, just pure fluff! And Pierre being a menace for like a second.

Gwen’s radio message. . . 💬 : i saw the video and an idea popped into my mind, you can’t blame me for being weak. this is just a little silly meet-cute because your girl can’t stop thinking about surfer!charles. save me surfer!charles, save me !! i’m thinking about turning this into a series, would you like that?

You never thought you’d be living in Australia in your twenties. You honestly never thought about leaving your hometown to follow your dreams. Yet, here you are, sitting on the sand on a quiet morning, playing with the golden retriever you adopted two weeks ago. She comes running back to you, leaving the tennis ball at your feet and sitting, patiently waiting for you to throw the ball again. 

“You never get tired, uh?” She tilts her head, tongue out and breathing heavily. You throw the ball into the water and she immediately runs back for it. 

You take the opportunity to look around. It’s still a little early so there aren’t many people, a few people walking their dogs or running, a few surfers and a group of girls a few meters away. You notice that they can’t stop looking at the group of boys in the water trying to catch waves. It’s funny, because you used to be exactly like them when you were a teen. 

They’re talking and — despite knowing you shouldn’t — you pay close attention to what they’re saying. 

“Last week he smiled at me, I swear!” One of them says, twirling her hair while still straight ahead. 

“They’re so hot.” You try not to laugh, hiding a smile by turning your head around. 

It’s not the first time you’ve seen the group of boys, but it is the first time that you pay attention to what people actually say about them, and that makes you a little bit curious. 

There are five guys in the water, two of them are sitting on their surfboard talking while the other two chase waves. You notice that the fifth guy is actually getting out of the water, blue surfboard under his right arm as he looks at the dog looking up at him and wagging its tail. Your dog. 

“Daisy!” You call her but she doesn’t move, she just looks at you from her spot next to the man. You get up and start walking towards her when the stranger looks up at you. And you stop breathing for a second, face turning pink as you feel bright, green eyes boring into you. 

You agree with the teenage girls about them being hot because this man is definitely very attractive. He’s wearing a black wetsuit, you notice as he runs his hand through his messy, wet, brown hair. He’s also smiling. At you. 

He crouches to unhook the surfboard’s leash from his ankle, leaving it aside, and pets Daisy behind her ears. She closes her eyes and moves closer to the stranger. Your heart skips a beat when he looks up at you again, still smiling. 

“Hey, Daisy? You wanna play?” He has an accent that makes you weak in the knees. The stranger takes Daisy’s ball from between her paws and throws it a few meters away, and she immediately runs back for it. “She’s cute.” You’re very cute, he thinks.

You smile because you don’t know what else to do, still very much feeling frozen in place. 

“I’m Charles, nice to meet you.” The stranger—Charles reaches out a hand, you look at it for a beat before taking it gently to shake. If you feel sparks flying, nobody needs to know that. 

You swallow, trying to find your voice before the cute guy thinks you’re weird. “I’m Y/N and,” You feel Daisy’s nose nudging at your leg. “this is Daisy.” You say, looking down at her.

Charles crouches back down to take the ball again, this time not breaking eye contact, and throws it into the water. You feel yourself blushing — again !! — under his intense gaze. You also feel your insides burning and going crazy with butterflies. You curse under your breath because what is wrong with you? 

“You come here often?” He cringes after saying that and you’re pretty sure you see a faint blush adorning his cheeks. “I’ve never seen you before.” 

“Oh, I adopted her two weeks ago, so we're pretty new to the beach.” You explain, looking over his shoulder at your little golden playing in the water. You’re gonna have one hell of a time trying to get rid of the salt water and sand of her hair. 

He smiles again and what the hell? He has dimples? 

“You’re not from here, right? I can hear a little accent…” He blurts out, massaging his neck in a nervous manner. 

“I just moved here a few months ago.” You laugh, fidgeting with your fingers. “I can say the same thing about you.”

The guy chuckles, shaking his head. “I’m from Monaco. I’m visiting a friend for the summer.”

“Oh, that’s cool!” When Daisy comes running back, you’re quick to pick up the ball — to have something to do besides looking at his pretty green eyes — and throw it farther just because it’s good that she’s running and having fun, definitely not because you want to keep talking with Charles. 

“What brought you to Australia?” Charles asks, like he's genuinely interested. 

“It’s silly, really.” You break eye contact after what feels like an eternity looking into his eyes. “I just wanted to see more of the world. I’ve been traveling for the past two years but I feel like it’s time to settle down somewhere.” Charles nods along, listening to every word. “I don’t know if Australia is the place for me but,” You shrug. You’ve grown and gained experiences, you’ve traveled to places you never thought you’d visit; you are happy with your life. You want to experience a different kind of thing now. “so far I like it here.”

“That’s awesome!” Charles has traveled the world too, but he doesn’t see himself leaving Monaco and his family. But he understands the desire to see new places and discover new cultures.

“Charlie!” 

You both turn your head around to see the boys he was surfing with coming out of the water. 

“Those are my friends. I’m sorry for whatever they’re going to say.”

You laugh, whispering a ‘don’t worry’ just before you’re joined by the four guys. 

“Oi, who’s this?” A dark-haired guy asks, crouching to pet Daisy. 

“That’s Daisy,” Charles answers before moving to stand beside you. “and this is Y/N.”

The four boys look between you and Charles in silence, then they’re all waving at you.

Charles leans a little closer, and you hold your breath. “That’s Dani,” He points to the same guy who asked about Daisy. Then he points to a curly-haired boy wearing a pair of pink shorts. “that one is Lando and the one next to him is Max.” 

“So, how do you find my boy Charles here?” A guy with French accent teases you. 

“And that’s Pierre. Don’t listen to him.” Charles sends death glares at his friend, who just holds his palms up in surrender and grins. 

“We need to go,” Lando or Max? says, looking at his friend with pity and mouthing a ‘sorry’.

“Nice to meet you, Y/N!” All of them say, making you laugh. You wave at them.

Then, you and Charles are alone again, Daisy lying on the sand in front of you.

“So,” Charles starts, fighting really hard not to look at your lips. He does a very poor job because you notice anyway, and of course you can’t help but wet your lips. Well, you have to do something, you’re probably not gonna see him again. “I have to go. But it was nice chatting with you.”

You reach out, placing your hand on his bicep and squeezing. And God, okay, he’s actually fit, fit. 

“It was nice meeting you, Charlie.”

Charles smirks, winking. Or at least trying to before grabbing his surfboard and walking away, it takes you a great effort to not turn around. 

“Hey, Y/N?” 

You’re just a girl. 

Charles is walking backwards, a bright smile dancing on his lips. 

“Will I be seeing you tomorrow?”

You try not to show how much effect his words have on you. “I don’t know,” You shrug. Playing hard to get now, really? “Come and you’ll see.”

little shits

kyra Cooney-cross x teen!Reader (platonic)

why is posting my first fic embarassinggg…

anywho enjoy this piece of shit. I’ll open my requests and try to write as much as I can. Luv u all xxx

————————————————————————

You were kind of out of it though as Caitlin was trying to mouth something to you further up the gym with her hands, you put your hands up in shrug towards her, but from the conversation in front of you you heard something along the lines of “if you don’t” and Kyra saying “deal”.

“Got that y/n?” Beth grinned at you

“yup!” You quickly said before running over to Caitlin who was motioning you to help her with something.

You had lost a bet. You were reminded by Kyra that you “weren’t supposed to do anything stupid towards anyone in the team for a week” 8 days later she shrieked at you as she was changing into her swimmers in the bathroom of the locker room.

And that’s where you found yourself, In the 15 degree London weather, you were being dragged by Beth, Jen and Katie who just wanted to see this play out, down to the ocean. As you all walked down to the cool air of the beach you shrieked at the harsh breeze “nup” you said as you started running back but was caught by Katie “bets a bet” she giggled grabbing you and dragging you down the beach.

You and kyra took off both of your jumpers as you looked at each other, regret filling your eyes. There were some lunatic surfers in long wetsuits, none like the ones back home in Australia but if you were honest you were terrible with cold water. Beth pulled out her phone to camera when Jen gave Kyra a light shove towards the water, she didn’t move though.

“Ok let’s be quick” you started walking down, just ready to get it over with, a shivering mess once you got down. You noticed the 21 year old was no longer behind you but was being carried over the shoulder by the tall Jen Beattie. Your jaw hit the flor as she was completely thrown into the water head first, with Jen now in the water too. “Okay giant” you giggled as Jen quickly ran out of the water but looking back to yell at you.

“Five whole Minutes!” was screamed from the top.

“Nah it was two!” You exclaimed as Beth shook her head with a grin. You were still only up to about your bellybutton in the ice-like water. That was until ‘little shit no. 2’ jumped on your back causing your head to be pushed under water. The cold water feeling absolutely hell-like on your skin. “KYRA!” You screamed as you came back up again, knowing she was done she started swimming away fast. Though luckily you were a fast swimmer, you caught up to her and completely dunked her.

On the shore, Katie, Beth and Jen slowly started to go ankle-deep into the water to feel the temperature for themselves. “Christ that’s worse than an ice bath” Beth exclaimed quickly before removing her feet from the water.

“They are gonna turn into ice” Jen said

“Or worse completely taken out by a shark” Katie said, as Beth’s face rose with concern. “Wait how much time left?

“It’s been up for about a minute now” Beth said “you two out you come!” she yelled running up to grab your towels.

But of course, you and the slightly older girl were in your own world once again. Trying to drown each other while laughing your heads off.

————————————————————-

On a slightly chilly December weekend, you had broke the curse. You and your teammates had smashed Chelsea with a wicked 5-1 and you couldn’t be more excited, your were a striker, quite a significant one for the team, and had managed to slot in a goal in the extra time just minutes before the final whistle. As that whistle went you jumped straight to Caitlin buzzing with excitement before Alessia joined your two by jumping on your back. As you went around to all your other teammates.

You made eye contact with Leah as she quickly went on to the field, the twenty-six year old meant so much to you since joining at the club, so you sprinted into her arms. “Lee!”

“Your goal was incredible I’m so proud of you tiny!!” You grinned at the nickname the team gave you and the fact that she was proud of you. She motioned for a piggy back to you when you were put down, when you jumped on her again she started sprinting towards the rest of the team you saw Kyra talking to vic with her back to you when Leah had come to a stop you tried to jump onto Kyra’s back straight from Leah’s but failed miserably when Kyra was completely knocked down long with Vic and you. Kyra’s funny bone hit your head which she squealed in pain. Nothing serious though.

And just like all the girls around knew that a child’s fight would break out between the two of you, you got up and started running backwards away from her. She started to chase you as you were laughing your guts off. You and Kyra were absolute toddlers anytime everywhere as the crowd and team completely stopped and watched in amusement.

————————————————————-

‘Harps!” You squealed as the Gorry toddler jumped into your arms in the lobby of the Hotel. You noticed most of the team standing around chatting as all the ‘London Aussies’ piled into the building.

“I missed you!” Her tiny voice exclaimed which made your heart melt. “I missed you heaps!”

You and Harper got along beautifully, she was like your little sidekick when at camp, the girl would not dare to leave your side the whole two weeks. Steph laughed with Mini behind you, greeting each other and laughing how you left your bags stranded right near the bus when you saw the small girl, Steph having to wheel them in.

“Mins!” You smiled as you gave her a warm hug.

After more hugs and hello’s were exchanged you all headed up to your respective rooms. Since it was only around lunch time you had a small meeting with Tony but were then allowed ‘chill out time’ before dinner and bed time. You, Mackenzie, Alanna and Caitlin were sitting on bean bags in the main room talking about random things and your Christmas plans. When Charli was completely thrown onto your head from behind.

“Ow” you laughed.

“Kyra!” Charli said towards the girl that was pushed onto you.

“Little shit” you mumbled

“Oi you can’t talk miss” Caitlin smirked before quickly going on about your latest stunt you and Kyra pulled together back in London making the other girls laugh. You soon got tired of hearing how good you are at getting away with pranks. As you curiously went to search through a cupboard that had some coloured things peaking out the bottom which amused you. You opened it to find random things from craft kits to movie projectors. You started to move things a little as you crouched down to find more. That’s when you pulled out a large white karaoke machine laying on it’s side, it was beyond you on how it got in there and managed to fit.

“What’s that?” Macca asked as you stood it up-right once it was pulled out. You didn’t reply as you smirked at Kyra who knew exactly what it was. “Awesome” Macca sarcastically said after no reply from you.

For backstory, you and Alessia found one in a room at your training grounds back in London. And you pair along with Kyra and the help of Leah’s terrible singing completely wore it out as it sparked and suddenly broke. Obviously, the mums of the team like Kim and Viv got mad that you nearly could have sent it up in flames.

“Oh no no no” Steph breathed out as she walked in to see you and Kyra teaching Macca and Alanna how to start it up so they could perform their duet to some random old Justin Bieber sing. “You set this hotel on fire, no blaming me to Kim that I didn’t stop you”.

And that’s how the night ended the whole team gathering around and taking turns in partners to sing away. With you and Kyra taking over the micv for more than half of the songs. “No way” you muttered as it suddenly stopped working.

“You-“ Hayley started and then laughed from where she was laying on the floor watching you.

“They’re cursed I swear” Kyra said as you put your arms up in a shrug towards steph.

paring charles leclerc x fem!surfer!reader, word count 397, genre fluff, ( masterlist )

you moved down to australia to have a break from your life in your hometown and felt like you needed a new scenery and change of speed. a step in the right direction after feeling so lost for so many years.

you turn down the dial on the radio and back in a parking spot next to an expensive car that definitely doesn’t have good parking skills. your in your baby blue bronaco getting her light pink surfboard with a white hibiscus on it out.

that’s how you’ve managed to end up here surfing in competitions. trotting down the same rickety wooden staircase trailed with grains of sand. your feet hitting the coarse feeling the same sand you and your friends play a fun game of volleyball in.

your hand raised to block the harsh sun rays away from your narrowing eyes. a certain guy spots your gaze who is attempting to ride waves, but failing horribly to do so. he’s wearing a wetsuit and his dark hair is dipping in salty water. his skills on the water aren’t super impressive and inexperienced. it was more comedic as it seemed like every time he mounted back onto the board he would fall off in just a matter of seconds. he managed to get into a crouched position only to lose his balance and fall head-first into the salty water. he seemed determined though. so, an a for effect you supposed.

once, you’ve reached the water deep enough you rode waves with ease. you paddle up to him offering him lessons forever how long he is staying in australia. not sparing a second he takes up your offer with a charming smile. he isn’t quite sure how he is going to meet up with you for lessons and attend his formula one duties, but all he is certain of is that he couldn’t pass up an opportunity with someone as pretty as you.

now, you don’t spend your nights with strangers, but maybe you could suffice just this once. sometimes tells you even with the short amount of time that he was spending here that you would be more well than acquainted after your interaction.

what you believed was going to be the last words you ever say to him which is "call me if you’re ever back in australia again."

oh, he most certainly called you.

A free trip to Australia to help his uncle's marine biology expedition sounded too good to be true to Simon. The weather was gorgeous, the marine life out of this world, the only catch seemed to be the crew.

Despite all of their typical Australian surfer dude look, these guys were total nerds. They knew everything there was to know about the ocean and had no qualms about making Simon feel dumb.

Whenever he asked, in his opinion, reasonable questions the whole crew, his uncle included would exchange glances, nudge one another, and chuckle in ways that made him feel two inches tall.

No matter, always the optimist, Simon decided he'd just focus on swimming and sunning. No use in trying to make chit chat with the nerds, even if they were unbelievably sexy.

On one of the days when they were diving down to a reef, Simon stayed up on deck, sunbathing and handing them flippers and vials for samples as needed. His hands, greased up sun tan lotion, sent a handful of supplies barreling over the edge of the dock. The crew, fathoms below would certainly notice if they saw their equipment floating past them to the ocean floor so Simon knew he had to act fast.

He dove in and ferried everything to the edge of the boat before hoisting himself back up. Just as he emerged from the water, the crew surfaced. As they removed their googles and respirators they were treated to the sight of Simon's hairless butt cheeks. His waterlogged bathing suit had sagged beneath the curve of his ass, flashing quite the plumber's crack to the chortling crew.

"Simon, buddy, your Marianas Trench is showing." His uncle said, eliciting guffaws from his crew.

Simon whipped his head around to let them know he wasn't even offended by his little marine-based slight, because only a nerd would know what that meant.

He was stopped in his tracks when over his shoulder he caught sight of his bare ass.

They were all looking at his exposed cheeks.

Blushing like a red snapper, Simon roughly pulled up the speedo, a grave overcorrection. The force he exerted on the suit caused the material to lodge in his crack leaving the underside of his cheeks exposed and, as became apparent when he turned around, his balls to spill out the side.

"Oy, why don't you get your poor nephew at wetsuit so he's not all shriveled up," one of the crew guys yelled out. The laughter was even louder now.

This was a total nightmare for Simon. A bunch of hot guys who already thought he was an idiot poking fun at his totally embarrassing wardrobe malfunction. And he was stuck in the middle of the ocean with no way to escape. He knew this trip was too good to be true.

Re: suits, there are hundreds of different types of suits, but the most common cuts are british, american and italian. I could see Lando (aka would love to see) most likely in an italian cut (slim tailoring on trousers and jacket, unstructured shoulders, light cloth (not colour but fabric) also looks very nice with an open collar and no tie...). Typical big brand names here are Zegna, Armani or Attolini, I personally love Kiton and Brioni as well, but just googling itlian cut suits should show some good results.

For Oscar, I would adore a (for once) properly tailored brutish cut suit (higher waistline for the trousers, more structure in the shoulders, tapered waist, thicker fabrics). Maybe even make it a proper three-piece bc ever since the wetsuit pics from Australia, I think we all agree that those curves need to be shown more often. Examples here are Ted Baker, Dunhill and ofc everything Savile row.

Tho if we keep with the Mclaren sponsors, Reiss does some great work as well. There's a double-breasted tuxedo jacket in this year's collection that I would love to see Lando in (then again tuxedos are a whole nother topic ...)

This got very long and is probably not very helpful but I love infodumping about fashion lol <3

i know you were self conscious about writing at length about this but all i have to say is: yes. here is some additional photographic evidence from my POV;

lando in snazzy italian tailoring, but to take the stylised vector a bit further:

exhibit a: asymmetric waistcoat with steampunk details

exhibit b: italian but with a fun pattern

exhibit c: open collar a step further, he could so rock a 70s suit. also just really need him to rock the gucci glasses with some shiny loafers like he’s sooooo got that vibe. im thinking how bruno mars and harry styles wear that kind of suiting sometimes

now to our elusive chanteuse f1 driver oscar jack. i feel like it’s, like what you described, about a classic style but with really fine details. good fabrics, simple cuts, plain colourways. below is pretty stylised but also this is rpf and it’s my playground and if we were claiming realism we should just put the rpf toys down full stop and i am not doing that!!

if taking a costume designer’s perspective too, there could be soooo much you could say with layering and pattern and contrast depending where we are in the story or plot. the idea of fic!oscar in a classic brit cut suit with tiny revealing details like a handkerchief (lando’s) or a button (a nod to a family member or a friend) is very dear to me.

the other option i like is a classic tux jacket with tails and crisp shirt and a a sky blue handkerchief, like idk that image also tickles me for some reason.

anyway so i had been thinking about a tailor AU- *loud scuffling noise as i try to put wayward au ideas back in their box*

p.s. oscar in dunhill... like u were cooking but u especially cooked w that one....

and tagging the people who might be interested in this conversation i invite y’all to weigh in!! @cx-boxbox @kichona-s and @jusst-you-race

Dacre Montgomery and Vicky Krieps say Went Up the Hill camera froze twice while filming in the brutal cold | EW

"We were not acting, we were shivering," Krieps told EW at TIFF.

Went Up the Hill's main characters Jack (Dacre Montgomery) and Jill (Vicky Krieps), might be reminiscent of a nursery rhyme, but this story is more of a nightmare.

That's true for audiences of the supernatural, horror thriller directed by Samuel Van Grinsven, but also for its stars, who told Entertainment Weekly at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival that shooting some scenes were particularly tough, because it involved them and an ice-cold lake.

"The tip of my pen, in the scene where I'm painting on the page, froze during the take," Montgomery said. "It was like the scene from The Day After Tomorrow where the helicopter freezes in the air and then falls down... It was absolutely freezing. But I think again, all of it, I wouldn't have it any other way because I still feel like it's real. My lips are blue, your lips are blue. We're shivering."

The costars recalled that the camera battery froze twice.

Krieps added, "Someone asked me about the acting, but we were not acting, we were shivering. We couldn't talk."

In the movie, Montgomery's character Jack visits a remote area in New Zealand, where they filmed, to attend the funeral of his estranged mother. He meets Jill, who was married to his mother, and the spirit of his mother, who inhabits the bodies of both Jack and Jill. The Stranger Things actor remembered the shoot as "the coldest I've ever been."

Krieps, who's known for her work in Old and Phantom Thread, pointed out that her costar is not used to the cold.

"He's from Australia," she said, "and he was looking with these two eyes of, like, 'I cannot believe it. I can't believe it. This is actually happening.'

Montgomery was wearing a wetsuit under his costume, but it didn't help much.

"The lake, however, despite how cold it was, was not frozen over," he said. "So the practical element was done in a sort of dirt pit near the house where they built a plexiglass frame and then had a portion of the ice and a portion of blue screen laid around it. But we were still outside. We went on stage. There was no cloud cover, so all of the warm air had left and it was minus eight and there was frost."

Why You Need Quality Wetsuits for Snorkeling in Australia?

Australia, a land of stunning beaches and vibrant marine life, is a snorkeler's paradise. However, to fully enjoy this underwater adventure, it's crucial to invest in quality wetsuits in Australia. This essential piece of gear provides warmth, protection, and buoyancy, ensuring a comfortable and safe snorkeling experience.

Understanding Australia's Water Temperatures

A well-fitting wetsuit will help you stay comfortable in all conditions for snorkeling in Australia. While Australia is known for its sunny weather, its water temperatures can vary significantly depending on the region and season. In the northern parts of the country, the waters are generally warmer, while the southern regions can experience colder temperatures, especially during winter.

The Benefits of a Quality Wetsuit

Warmth: A quality wetsuit acts as an insulator, trapping warm air between your body and the wetsuit. This helps to regulate your body temperature, preventing hypothermia, especially in colder waters.

Protection: Wetsuits provide protection from jellyfish stings, coral abrasions, and other potential hazards found in marine environments. They also shield your skin from the harmful effects of the sun's UV rays.

Buoyancy: Wetsuits offer a certain degree of buoyancy, making it easier to float and maneuver in the water. This is particularly beneficial for beginners or those who are less confident in their swimming abilities.

Comfort: A well-fitting wetsuit should be comfortable to wear, allowing for a full range of motion. Look for wetsuits with a snug but not overly tight fit.

Durability: A quality wetsuit is made from durable materials that can withstand the rigours of regular use. Investing in a well-made wetsuit will ensure that it lasts for many years.

By investing in a high-quality wetsuit, you can enhance your snorkeling experience in Australia, ensuring comfort, safety, and enjoyment. Remember to choose a wetsuit that suits your needs, preferences, and the specific conditions of your snorkeling destination.

Just fluff and cute shit because they deserve it after what I've put them through lol

“I’m not admitting to anything.”  Reaching for her backpack, she unzips it and removes a Stanley cup;  black with glittery pink skulls and crossbones. Pausing when she notices her mother staring at her, eyebrow cocked. “What?”

“Where did you get that?”

“Daddy bought it for me; when we went to get me a wetsuit.”

-“That’s a fifty-dollar cup.”

“What can I say?” Setting the item between her thighs, she holds it in both hands and takes a pull from the straw. “I’m spoiled.” 

“Rotten.  Already.”

“You know what daddy told me?”

“Considering what’s been coming out of your mouth lately, I’m almost scared to find out.”

“He said Australia has the most awesome beaches in the world! In the entire universe!”

“He’s just a little biased.”

“What does that mean?”

“He’s from here. It’s his home.  Where he was born and raised. Of course he’s going to say they’re the best.”

“I’m kinda from Australia. Sort of. I wasn’t born here, but…”

“Your daddy’s Australian.   He helped make you.  That makes you half Aussie.  And trust me, anyone who meets you? They’re going to think you’ve always lived here.  You’re just as nutty as the rest of them.”

“But I don’t talk like them though. I don’t sound like daddy.”

“You’ll eventually get an accent. There’s no way of escaping it.  Especially when you spend so much time glued to his hip.”

“Where is he anyway? He’s taking forever! We should be there by now!”

“The beach isn’t going anywhere.  It’s not going to disappear. He’s just packing up the cooler and looking everything up. And getting Lucy up and at ‘em.”

“Well, I hope he comes soon! It’s hotter than Satan’s butt crack out here!”

I would Like one suitcase to Sydney please! Been dying to go to Australia

What can you expect when you get a big and heavy suitcase from Sydney with a Bondi Beach sticker? Something as clichéd as a wetsuit? Congratulations, here's your wetsuit. You can use it in the heart of the Midwest just as much as a surfboard. Well, you can give it a try.

Okay, it fits. It doesn't fit well, but it fits. And it so mercilessly traces every last bit of flab you've got. You look like a homemade blood sausage. And taking it off causes you physical pain. You feel like you're pulling out half the hair on your back.

Okay, it was a bad idea with the suitcase. But in the slightly too tight board shorts and with the leather strap with the shark's tooth around your neck, you can at least jerk off to your Australian fantasies. And afterwards you fall into a comatose sleep.

Root, the sound of the bloody surf wakes ya up. The waves ahah really comin' in todee. The bloody mawrnin' beach run 'n fitness trayynin' av ta be cancelled. If ya want ta catch some waves befawah yah job at the bloody beach shack, ya av ta hurry. Yah smooth, tanned body slides into yah wetsuit liyyke a 'and into a perfectly fittin' glove. Ya know how fahkin' hot yah ass looks in that wetsuit. The bloody thought gives ya a 'ahrd-on agayyn. Bro, since ya dropped out of college ta follow yah passion, ya've been permanently 'awrny. But it would be liyyke hell if ya didn't find someone ta help ya afder surfin' on the bloody beach. Fahkin' bloody oath cobber.
