Tørvald Don't Surf

Rip Curl is marketing a wetsuit with a powered heating system, dubbed the H-Bomb.
Why would you want this feature in a wetsuit? Oh, I guess it might be helpful if you and your brahs are planning a killer surfin' safari to the Arctic Circle. Epic Nordic set's rollin' in, now you don't have to miss out.

I can't decide if it's more comfortable to have your balls punished by frigid waters or broiled by electric heat. But now I guess you can have both. No word on ipod compatibility, though.

There's video of the thing in action, in the aforementioned Arctic Circle. It's some pretty run-of-the-mill surfing shots, but, you know, it's like -4° out there with wind chill. Plus I couldn't pull those moves in a kiddie pool with a kick board.
