For those of you tired of your typical wetsuit, here's something new from an outfit in Ansterdam called Diddo. This company, a design firm, has designed a way to print textures onto a typical wetsuit, creating something interesting and occasionally beautiful.
The first is a wetsuit with a rust texture, kind of like you're wearing a wetsuit that's been in somebody's attic for say, fifty years. This is a very steampunk look.
Next is a muscle suit for all those who wish to show off how buff they are. I will certainly not wear this suit. I get enough laughs after I peel off my wetsuit.
This next one is my favorite. It's a wetsuit with a whale shark pattern. Now how cool is that? Heck, I sail the biggest board on the Hudson, now I should get a wetsuit with a design of the biggest fish!
Okay, here's when things start to get a little ... interesting. This is a wetsuit with a shark bite pattern. That's right, the wearer looks like he's just been attacked by a shark.
Oh my God! Call the ambulance!
Here are some of the textures the studio was able to map onto the wetsuit. I'm not sure how I feel about this one. On the one hand, it's kind of funny. America has been shark crazy for so long (since 1975 to be exact) that I think this makes fun of that. People are way too afraid of sharks, and this suit mocks that a little. I wouldn't wear it, but I appreciate the statement.
On the other hand, it's a little gross.

wow interesting post! rust pattern is the best, imo
Wow! They're all very interesting, but the whale shark pattern is definitely the only one I would actually wear.
I'm going to save my money until they make a leprosy version.
Those are crazy. So of course you have James and The Catapult on it.
