Some of the sea around Scotland is actually quite nice and warm :) I went swimming in the sea on the west coast last year with no wet or dry suit on and after a minute I got used to it and my mum learned to swim in the sea as a kid, but it's different water up here and it's freezing D: Then again, we have no sun most of the year!

Lol, all those pictures I've seen of guys surfing wearing nothing but terrible Hawaiian shorts have been a lie... XD
