There is only one thing more ackward than putting on a wetsuit - taking it off again
"The one drawback of wetsuits, of course, is the ridiculous, energy sapping set of contortions you have to go through to get them on and -particularly - off again. At this time of year, wriggling out of a wettie is nothing more than a mild inconvenience... In January, all you'll hear is the odd high-pitched expletive uttered through gritted teeth. In February, if you're lucky, you might hear someone coin a brand new composite swearword...
But all that colourful cursing could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to the ingenuity of east coast surfer Allie Cherry. After one particularly bone-chilling post-surf ordeal, she came up with the idea of a tarpauling shelter that could be attached to the tail gate of a car in a matter of seconds - an instant, weather-proof changing room. And lo! The Packa Shack was born...
Having had a chance to experiment with one over the last few weeks, I'm happy to report that they're roomy, cosy and extremely easy to use. It goes without saying that surfers will be excited by the Packa Shack, but the potential is almost endless."
