"Neoprene is Sexy" Photo Contest

Whether you are living in California trying to squeeze as many surf days as you can from the year, or from the frozen tundra of the MidWest trying to sneak out on the lakes paddling around the icy remnants of winter, a wetsuit is not a complete stranger. While these neoprene wonders have extended the season for many of us, one thing is true for nearly all of us, they are far from flattering.

Try and avoid wet suit flatulence

Well, in honor of this synthetic wonder, we are hosting a photo contest. Dig through your pics and send in your favorite, most flattering, least flattering, most embarrassing, or flat out ridiculous shots of you (or your buddies) in a neoprene contraption of one sort or another. Winners will get a Paddle Junkie Prize Pack including gear from Hydrapak, GU Energy, Harmony Gear, Pearl Izumi, Noll Surfboards and Team Paddle Junkie.

All that neoprene, someone has a good pic lying around.
