Wetsuit strippers

Didn't think about laying down. I was just planning on standing up and 'stepping' out of it as I normally do, but if it's faster  for them to rip it off laying down, sounds good to me.

So if I'm sitting down on the sand while this happens, I shouldn't be too concerned about getting sand in my shorts?

thx.

all great info for you so far,, I'll add   find the biggest guy there , point to him while yelling at him, so he knows you are coming for him,, check your chip as your getting up. 

As a past wetsuit stripper at IMFL, we can handle anything so don't worry.

There are lots of wetsuit strippers so don't worry about stopping at the first ones....biggest mistake folks do as the people at the end are ready and you will get helped right away.

Tips
1. As you exit the water take your arms out and get your wetsuit down to your waist if possible.
2. If you can't get your arms out or unzip they will help you but you need to deal with your googles and swim cap and if they are in your hand they can get jammed in your wetsuit sleeve
3. Don't have your timing chip on the bottom of your leg of your wetsuit
4. Lay down on your back with your feet facing them..as they pull lift your bum if wetsuit is still up above your waist
5. Listen to your wetsuit strippers..they are there to help you be fast
6. Remember to take your wetsuit with you
7. Don't wait for first few folks move down the line as there are probably 15 folks or more stripping.
8. Say thanks as they are probably getting your urine on them helping them

Just make sure your shorts are on tight underneath.The fans  got more than they bargained for this past summer when a  competitors shorts came off with his suit.  Maybe he took the term stripper too literally. Anyway just make sure it's down far enough so when you sit they can pull it the rest of the way off and they don't have to fight your body weight sitting on it. Good Luck and really I mean really don't sweat the small stuff. One way or another it's coming off.

What about the timing chip?  Should we take it off or will they deal with it?

Thanks for the tips, everyone. Knowing what to expect is a great help.

I wouldn't rely on that assumption that the biggest guy will do the job the best or fastest.
