Main Material

The first factor to consider when choosing a surfing wetsuit is the water temperature. Water temperature varies depending on the location and time of year. Keep these guidelines in mind: Water warmer than 20°C.
Water between 17 and 22°C.
Water between 12 and 17°C.
Water between 7 and 12°C.

How to choose a wetsuit Part 1

The second thing to consider is the length of your sessions. Our 100 models are suitable for sessions of up to 1 hour. For 1-2 hours, opt for a 500 wetsuit; for 2-3 hours, go for a 900. Wetsuits with a higher model number are warmer, more watertight, and better at reducing irritation and fatigue.The same is true for the 900 models, compared with the 500 models.
Note: The 900 models are easier to put on.

How to choose a wetsuit Part 2

To get the most out of your wetsuit, it’s important to choose the right size. A surfing wetsuit should fit snugly and have no visible folds. It’s normal for the suit to feel too tight when dry; this discomfort will disappear once you’re in the water. A diving suit that’s too big can have folds that chafe and allow water to seep in, reducing thermal comfort.

Materials

The neck is designed to limit irritation. If you have sensitive skin, consider wearing a UV-resistant top under the wetsuit to reduce rubbing and chafing. To prevent chafing during longer outings, we recommend applying petroleum jelly around your neck and underarms. Make sure the flap is always inside the wetsuit to limit the risk of irritation with the zipper and the neck.

Neck

Our zips and fastenings are lab-tested for guaranteed durability and resistance to salt water. The zip is at the back of the wetsuit for greater comfort when lying down to paddle.

Fasteners

The seams are stitched and glued to guarantee waterproofing and resistance. The seams are blind-stitched—the thread does not pass through the entire thickness of the neoprene, preventing water from getting through. The lack of threads on the inside prevents irritation and chafing. Patches for comfort and reinforcement are strategically placed on the inside in sensitive areas.

Watertight assembly

There is a key pocket under the zip flap.

Key pocket

Seamless panels under the arms reduce irritation caused by paddling movements.

Anti-chafing design

When you’re in the water, more than half of your body heat is lost through your extremities (feet, hands, head). To stay warm, consider these accessories:

- In water (> 17°C): Low-cut neoprene booties.
- In water (12°C–17°C): High-cut booties and gloves.
- In water (7°C–12°C): High booties (boots), gloves, hood and hooded top.
