Sasquatch Since 09 Mar 2005 2103 Posts PNW Bigfoot Tue Oct 06, 20 12:52 pm    Use the search function It's so easy, this Big ass baby can practically do it. . . Use the search function highlight "search for all terms" and type in "recycle wetsuits" and hit the search button. Good ideas from all posts. . . http://nwkite.com/forums/t-45588.html&highlight=recycle+wetsuits http://nwkite.com/forums/t-49165.html&highlight=recycle+wetsuits http://nwkite.com/forums/t-42400.html&highlight=recycle+wetsuits Link cathy o.

For the past 25 years I've taken my used wetsuits with me and I have always found a fisherman on my first beach walk who really needs and appreciates old wetsuits. Most of them spend time on the water spear-fishing. _________________ CGKA Member ------- Kip Wylie Matt V Since 26 Oct 2014 462 Posts Summer- OR Coast, Winter - My van near good snow Explosive Diarrhea Thu Oct 08, 20 6:59 am     Cool on donating it, just dont flood that market with them to the point they are just getting thrown in the ditch every time the new owner comes across a better free one. Or Cut the arms off and glue a little round patch on the bottom with some shoegoo or some aqua seal to make a koozie for up to a 32oz can/bottle. You can do the same with the foot/calf area, for a 40oz, or even a 1.75l wine bottle. All my wetsuits die this way. _________________ MSN has temporarily removed commenting on our websites while we explore better ways for you to engage in discussion on the issues you care about.

You can also donate to surfing and/or watersports schools and clubs for use with newbies who rarely have their own wetsuits.        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
