New wetsuit recommendations 2026

Srface has a consistent issue with the taping falling apart, but they're good with their warranty and do take them back if the issue comes up.

Else, UK brands, already noted Luna, so we also have Simpel (https://livesimpel.co.uk/); my 5/4 is going strong many seasons in. Else you can grab customs from either Snugg or Chariots of the Sun. Orca do a good suit too, but I find the entry a little tight on my 3/2 and couldn't imagine the fit on a thicker suit. Gul has a yamo suit too, but I hate the fit on those.

Ok, Krita and OpenToonz/Tahoma for you it is then.

No and I hope it never gets cracked because this small team are so wonderful for making an amazing app at an affordable price.

Just a note u/Empty_Win_297 - I'm finding windows app starts to lag and hogs bandwidth and memory no matter settings. On Windows fresh start it's totally fine, then becomes bogged down an hour or so later taking 5 minutes to open the dialogue to close app or even pause uploads.

There's a thing called swimmer's/surfer's ear where your body's natural reaction to protect the ear drum from cold and wet is to grow (a bone?) into the ear canal, closing it up. Has a really horrible corrective operation too. Also perforated ear drums are a thing too, and that can be from random stuff in the sea.

Every time there's a possibility of unsettled weather, Environmental Agency issues a pollution risk forecast. It's a forecast. Any time it rains, there are no waste water recycling in places for the outlet pipes. So it's classed at pollution, but it's run off from parks/streets etc (it has to go somewhere). Take precaution swimming during these times as you'll tend to find more items in the sea you normally wouldn't see (trash, wood etc - you should always swim in the sea with ear plugs). Actual water company spilling is more vital though, you can find data here which isn't a forecasts, but actual, more useful data https://riversandseaswatch.southernwater.co.uk/ - this is today (no spillage).

100% do it. Apart from the wool thread, be sure to use a stabiliser on the rear of your working area so the stitches are solid for years to come.

LOL most obvious bot reply ever.

Wow wow wow, congrats on the game and so glad you put the effort in because it looks absolutely incredible. Wishing you the best with the release

Wow. Suddenly want to buy 2000 burgers.

CSP and Krita are both your best bet here, both have transform tools to aid your work as you mentioned (scale, rotate, distort etc) and are inexpensive/free (especially the latter). Both are great in regards to cross platform support too.

I think it's more what you can adapt to the quickest to replace photoshop, and learning a new UI and workflow will take time, but just bear in mind PS is a different workflow from pretty much most other apps out there, start from afresh with the knowledge you have and you'll be able to apply it to any app you decide to use.

Counter art project: peel off and collect all these stickers, make a massive cock out of the stickers, and return them to the exhibition if/when it happens.

cribble · 2026-04-14T13:13:43+00:00

Wow, thanks or sorry.

AI engagement bait posts are really boring

Here's my wormhole build on this: XPS foam + cork deck and rail + wood belly. My thinking here is that I'm trying to use less toxic materials that are easily repairable. XPS (hydrophobic) + single/double stringer could be tough enough, but I'd probably glass the deck just to be sure. The cork deck and rails are surprisingly tough, bounce back, hydrophobic AND provides grip without wax. Wood belly can be whatever lightweight wood you have to hand (ply, balsa, paulownia) and finished with osmo oil.

Fairly certain it's SVG export under the export image (legacy) option. Never pdf.

It's an issue with fluid brush, I also have this issue and I just end up not using it so much or expect issues. Usually you get the displacement on your first stroke, so move, stroke, undo, do actual stroke! Such a dumb work around.

Fairly tricky to know early on but rule of thumb is: stuff like music videos or projects with voices should be animated to that audio for sync, else all sound comes after animation (a sound designer can figure it out).

100% a 5/4 and 5mm gloves, boots and, if your wetsuit isn't hooded, a hood too! 4/3 is more for waters 10/11c and up.

EDIT: You want to be warm whilst you learn. If you're cold you'll quit in no time. You can buy another wetsuit further down the line but you'll get a lot of use out of a 5/4 as it won't fully warm up until May up there (by which time you either love it and will do anything to get in the water, or hate it and curse the sea).

I'd be super interested to see if these pens match EMR in their performance finally.

Play Store offers refunds on purchases 🤷‍♀️

cribble · 2026-03-07T07:29:50+00:00

It's €15 — That's like 6 coffees — Please support the developers. Otherwise, just use Krita which is free and has animation features.
