.B. 25 May 11:56am, 25 May 2025 49,039 posts	Quote Pin .B. Hi all, a friend has some kayaks for sale if anyone is interested. Sadly reason for selling is her husband died and she doesn’t want to go alone. Two x single seat Feelfree Nomad Sport. Both in great condition. Both have paddle, seat and thigh straps (no pics but they are all good) She’d like £275 Ono each. She also has, I think, 2 inflatable single kayaks and an as new double. I can get details if anyone is interested. We are on the South Coast.

Question from a colleague - what do you do for a wetsuit if you find you have an allergy to neoprene? Is there a top tip for anyone who suffers from this. My only thought was to wear technical base layer and undershorts? Cheers G

Cheers G @HappyG(rrr) Our daughter isn’t allergic, as such, but she’s always been hyper-sensitive to the "feel" of neoprene. She wears tech-type layers, leggings and (sometimes) waterproofs. Another friend of mine swears by Paramo gear for canoeing. I like merino base layers.
