Wetsuits + how often ya surf

I'll go first:

- 300 hours a year surfing

- 5/4 rubber, 7mm gloves and mittens

- piss factor: ~2 per session

- wetsuit lasts around 9 months, then 3h sessions are a struggle

maybe ya track your sessions, but if you don't:

3 sessions per week: 156 sessions/year - 312 hours/year

2 sessions per week: 104 sessions/year - 208 hours/year

4 sessions per month: 48 sessions/year - 96 hours/year

30 sessions per year: 30 sessions/year - 60 hours/year

Wondering if I have toxic piss, or just blowing through wetsuits every 9 months is expected @ 5-6h a week.
