Tiny wetsuit a swell gift for George

A TINY Torquay wetsuit could make a mini surfer out of royal baby Prince George.
Surf company Rip Curl has produced a size-two neoprene garment for George as he visits the country with his parents on his first international tour.
Corangamite MP Sarah Henderson protocol would prevent her presenting the wetsuit when she met the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in Canberra this week but she was sure it would “make an impact in the royal household”.
“Who knows, maybe one day Prince George will visit Torquay and learn to surf,” she said.
