How to choose a surfing wetsuit?

The choice of a wetsuit for women or a wetsuit for men is not to be taken lightly. The neoprene wetsuit should act like a second skin, so it should fit your size perfectly. A model adapted to your size not only allows for good freedom of movement, but also more protection against the weather. In addition to the size, you should also choose a model according to its thickness. It is the temperature of the water in which you will be riding that will determine the thickness of your wetsuit. There are three main thicknesses for the wetsuits and for the different accessories such as gloves or neoprene booties. The thicker the neoprene is, the more it will protect you against the cold. If you practice in the middle of the summer season in good weather, it is preferable to opt for a lycra surfing suit..

For an off-season practice, you will need to add to your neoprene wetsuit a pair of neoprene booties, gloves and sometimes even a surf hood. The extremities of the body are the most exposed to the cold. In case of low temperature, the body will irrigate in priority the vital organs such as the heart and the brain to the detriment of the hands and feet. This explains why these areas are more exposed to the cold, hence the importance of covering them well. It should be noted that we are all different and that our resistance to cold is not necessarily the same for everyone. You will therefore have to adapt your equipment according to how you feel but also according to how you practice.
