How do boater dry out their dry suits after paddling?

Hang them? How to hang?
Turn them inside out?
Other ideas?

First I rinse off the outside of the suit in the shower to remove any residual mud and debris. Then I turn it inside out and rinse off the persperation (salt) on the inside. I leave it inside out until its dry on the inside and then turn it rightside out and rehang until dry on the outside. Then hit the gaskets with armorall (303) on both sides. And its ready to do it all over again.

a neat way is to secure your wet gear inside your boat on top of your vehicle- dries quickly while you're traveling and no foul neoprene smells.

There is a company sells a mesh bag which fits over the cockpit of a boat :if not you can simply put the gear in a durable mesh bag and secure it safely inside your boat (secure & safe being the key words here!):

Well, I should probably be more careful, but my standard practise is to get it home, turn it right side in and hang it on a coat hanger up high to dry. I should probably wash it more to keep the pores clean (it's yellow and is now somewhat begrimed), but I never seem to get there. Seems that you can spend forever just tending your gear and not get anything else done. I do 303 the gaskets every couple of months - more often is I notice them drying out and definitely before I put it away for the warm months or at the end of the season.
