How to choose a wetsuit for surfing?

Choosing the right wetsuit for surfing is crucial to stay comfortable and protected in the water. Wetsuits are designed to provide thermal insulation by trapping a thin layer of water between the suit and your body, which your body then warms up, creating an insulating barrier. Here are the key factors to consider when selecting a wetsuit for surfing:

Thickness: Wetsuits come in various thicknesses, typically measured in millimeters. The choice of thickness depends on the water temperature and the conditions where you´ll be surfing.
For cold water below 60°F or 15°C, you´ll need a thick wetsuit, usually 4/3mm, 5/4mm, or even 6/5/4mm to provide sufficient insulation.
For cool water 60 70°F or 15 21°C, a 3/2mm or 4/3mm wetsuit is appropriate.
For warm water 70°F or 21°C and above, a 2mm shorty or springsuit may suffice.

Style: Wetsuit styles include full suits, spring suits, and shorties. Choose the style that matches the water temperature and your comfort. Full suits provide full body coverage, while spring suits and shorties offer less coverage and are suitable for warmer conditions.
Material: Wetsuits are typically made from neoprene, a synthetic rubber. High quality neoprene offers better stretch, flexibility, and durability.
Seams: The way seams are sealed can impact a wetsuit´s flexibility and water resistance. Glued and blind stitched GBS seams are common in higher end wetsuits, offering a good balance of flexibility and water tightness. Somewetsuits feature taped or welded seams for additional water protection.
Zipper type: Wetsuits typically come with back zippers, chest zippers, or no zipper zipperless. Chest zip wetsuits are favored for their flexibility and reduced water entry. Back zip suits are easier to put on, but may be slightly less flexible. Fit: A wetsuit should fit snugly but not constructively. It should provide a watertight seal around the neck, wrists, and ankles to prevent water entry. Entry System: Chest zip and back zip wetsuits have different entry systems. Choose the one that you find most convenient. A well designed chest zip wetsuit provides a better seal, but it may be slightly more challenging to put on. You can buy neoprene suits from Jobe,O´neill wetsuits, Rip Curl, Roxy, and Quiksilver.
