Great challenges and accomplishments today! And aaah what weather! Even if the wetsuit was really warm.
REI had a good selection the last time I was there a couple of weeks ago. (I might recommend one with a "trap door" for pit stops on the river. Mine doesn't have one and I wish it did!)
Deb, try a scuba place, or order off of Amazon and get 1 or 2-day delivery.
I really want to go. Where do you buy wetsuits in Nashville? Dicks has none, Academy has none, Bass OutdoorWorld didn't have much on their website, ckg REI next and then driving out to Bass. Any recommendations.
