I am about to purchase a wetsuit for my son who has taken up surfing. I was impressed with the information given on the different types of stitching uses. I am also looking forwards to checking out the link for putting on a wetsuit. My only suggestion would be to add a link or blog regarding caring for one. This would be really helpful for newbies like me.

Thanks your info is very valued. Cheers and big smiles.

Here the water is warm, about >25ºC (77ºF) Never wore a wetsuit before, but for what I have read is pretty hot for wearing one. So its hard to me to choose I would like to protected from sunburn, jellyfish and rashes from the suit itself.

They were both written by me so this one (or that one) is not a ripped off copy. But this one is updated so its better! ?

Nice one! You didn’t write the ‘other one’. I know you didn’t because I did! Originally on my croyde-surf-cam.com website I moved it to littlepinkshop.com a few years ago. Yes you have updated it but please.. don’t claim credit for something you totally didn’t do! There’s names for people who do that sort of thing..

But with the new super stretchy neoprene this is I think no longer needed.

If you want a wetsuit that doesn’t soak up water get one that is made out of GEOPRENE. This is neoprene made out of limestone. I know West and Matuse both make geoprene wetsuits and some Japanese manufacturers also.

– you get too hot…the more active you are in the water the hotter you get, thick wetsuit is ok for diving when you have to keep your heartrate down and just float around but if you are surfing you will get really heated up
– comfort, thicker wetsuits are clumsier. You get tired much quicker paddling in a 7mm wetsuit than in 3mm one. This is why you always want to have the thinnest wetsuit possible that still keeps you warm.

This are the main two reasons why you shouldn’t get a wet that is too thick. Usually if you get the next thicker wetsuit you will be fine..for instance if the water is for a 4/3 wet and you get 5/4/3 its ok. But more than that… Maybe you can get a thin one and sell it before you go home?

Right now I’m overseas (military) and the water here is warmer, only needing 3-5mm.. but back home it’s 50-60 degrees all year long, which is better with a 7mm, but it could be years before I’m back there. If I bought a 7mm, would it be fine for use out here? What are the risks? Obviously getting overheated is one, but is there a big risk of that?

I would have appreciated an introduction to the major/minor brands out there that can be trusted. I got rip curl but maybe a few more hints would help others with a place to start looking.
