What Wetsuit Should I Buy For Surfing? The Most Important Decision A Surfer Can Make 

People who are new to surfing never hear this stuff...nice :)

thanks for this video. very helpful.

Really good video, as someone who's in the market for a new wetsuit this is really helpful

I try to made my wetsuits last longer by drying in the shade flat and inside out. I always rinse the wetsuit in a massive bucket of fresh water after surfing. Made some dumb mistakes with my first ever cheap wetsuit. Since then, I try to look after my wetsuits and leave my older (leaking through shoulders or wherever) wetsuits for warmer days or weekend surf lifesaving patrol duties like rubber duck rescue boat. My best and 2nd best wetsuits are reserved for surfing. I tend to choose durability of wetsuit as my main criteria. It can be expensive making a wrong decision or not looking after your wetsuit and having to buy another one much sooner than required.

Very informative dude

Two days ago i bought my first wetsuit. I chose a 4/3 (to be flexible with changing weather conditions) with backzipper. I ended up with the same brand as my surfschool uses. The frontzipper was just too difficult to put on; i tried several brands. Hopefully i will lose some weight with surfing (and eating habits). Perhaps that can ease the process of putting on a wetsuit. Let’s get ripped 😉

Love this channel, it's the sickest!

Kool..often the higher priced suits though warmer at first and more flexible sometimes only last a few seasons at most... with the cold waters i,m mostly in, i like to buy a new wetsuit at least once a year but this year I had to switch brand due to the high demand and low stock

I always go to a decent surf shop where good staff give good advice on wetsuit and they are not trying to flog a brand that they are trying to get out of the door. I rather pay a bit more for service. My favourite shop use to give me a decent discount every time until COVID suddenly increased the demand for wetsuits. I ever got myself a new wetsuit for my 50th birthday last year.

Ask other surfers, especially those of similar build to you, where they get their wetsuits. Eventually, you will get a feel where the best place is for you. Inquire at a few shops first. As a beginner, it seems daunting having to spend all that money on wetsuits but as a beginner, your body is not yet “trained” for the shock of that cold water when you first jump in. Just look after your wetsuit and it will last longer.

Thanks for the info. 🤙

Very informative! What is your experience with Hurley wetsuits? They seem to get a bad rep.

Can I wear wetsuit and wetsuit gloves and wetsuit hood and wetsuit boots for boogie boarding

hola , sos bastante ancho de hombros y cintura, el xcel me queda medio apretado, en XL y el Billabong un poquito largo pero no taaan apretado como el xcel, que me conviene, mas, porq luego ceden un poco? esa es mi duda.. si alguien puede ayudar en este chat, agradezco, saludos a todos!

Hi in a how to rip video (you’re riding the wrong surfboard here’s why) you recommended a performance small wave board. But in a different video you recommended a fish. Which one do I buy

Hi!! I just bought a new 6.0x 18 3/8x 27 lt... i'm in an intermediate level and in your opinion it's better to start by broken or unbroken waves to adapt the body to the new board? (Sorry for my english,i'm italian 🤞🏻)

Also about when you recommended a small wave performance board, does it have to be the same exact dimensions it can it be a little different. Btw is a 6 ft fish too big for a 13 yo. Sorry for so many questions
