During WWII the US Navy recruited it's first underwater demolition teams from the small community of surfers of Southern California's coast.

    I had one Patrick but sold it on ebay 'cause I didn't really like the fit. I prefer the USMC shape rather than that modified A-3 style. Will keep my eyes open though no worries.
