Rigging in parking lots on shoreline volcanic rock is a quick way to destroy a wetsuit. Bring the 36-inch drawstring platform changing mat to stand on, peel the neoprene, and pull the cord to cinch it into a transport wet-bag instantly.
To block the freezing parking lot gusts during transition, a fleece-lined changing robe keeps core temperatures high. Rig fast, change clean, get on the water.
