Rarely in life do you get what you pay for. I got a super deal on a brooks tuiliq. Went out yesterday on Lake Michigan. Beautiful calm day. Garment as expected was a little warm! But as my paddling buddy and I played, I managed to finesse my way through my repetoire of rolls with ease including my forward recovery handroll. Interesting how not wearing a lifejacket changes your mobility. I would never venture out in surf without it, but for a calm play day, why not. Just don’t tell the BCU…
