Surfing Wetsuits

Surfer in wetsuit on a nice wave going right.
When buying a surfing wetsuit consider the water temperature where you'll be surfing. The thickness we'll be described in mm for chest/arms-legs. For example a 4/3 is 4mm around the chest and 3mm around the legs and arms. Aside from thickness there are several styles to choose from.

-Full wetsuit: If the water your surfing is below 60 degrees, a 4/3 a full suit will usually do. If the water temp is usually 50 or below, a 5/3 is probably the way to go. If your surfing somewhere colder than say, the high 40's, your a little crazy but at least it cuts down the crowd. If that is the case you can consider some of the latest designs in surfing wetsuits, such as drysuits made for surfing and wetsuits with battery powered heater elements.

-Springsuits: These should do for water temps 60 degrees and above. There are several versions to choose from. The short arm and short leg versions have a 3/2 thickness. Consider the thigh/leg rash you will get with the short leg version. Or suck it up until you skin goes callous. The other springsuit is the "shorty", which has both short legs and arms. The shorty is usually used for water temps close to 70 degrees.

Surfing wetsuit booties are a personal preference. Colder water and the amount of reef/rock you climb over getting in and out of the water can call for booties. We here at Surfing-Gear to prefer to be candy-asses and use booties if any rocks are involved.

Popular surfing wetsuit brands are O'neill, Rip Curl, Billabong, Jet Pilot, Body Glove, Roxy, and Hurly.
