Women's Surfing Neoprene Wetsuit Front Zip 4/3 mm Olaian

YOU ARE AN EXPERT SURFER

You surf intensively, it is your favorite sport. During your sessions, you paddle out to the line up, duck dive under the breaking waves if you are on a shortboard, or turtle roll if you are on a longboard. You show commitment in powerful waves of more than 40". We have designed a range for you that is suited to your intensive practice and your body shape.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT WETSUIT (PART 1)

The first selection criterion when choosing a surfing wetsuit is the water temperature.

Water temperature varies according to the location and the time of the year.

Systematically make sure that the water temperature at your spot corresponds to the recommended temperature range:

Warm water above 68°F.

Temperate water between 62 and 72°F.

Cold water between 53 and 62°F.

Very cold water between 45 and 54°F.

Visit the site seatemperature.org to find out the temperature of your spot.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT WETSUIT (PART 2)

The 2nd criterion to take into account is the length of your sessions. If your sessions last less than an hour, the 100 models will be suitable. For up to 2 hours, opt for the 500 models and for up to 3 hours, the 900 models. Compared to the 100 models, the 500 models will be warmer (and more watertight) and more efficient at reducing fatigue (more freedom of movement) and irritation. The same is true for the 900 models compared with the 500 models. NB: the 900 models are easier to put on.

STAY WARM FOR LONGER WITH OUR THERMAL ACCESSORIES! EACH TEMPERATURE RANGE HAS ITS OWN OUTFIT...

When we are in the water, we lose more than half of our body heat through our extremities (feet, hands, head). Consequently, here are the recommended accessories:

- in warm water and temperate water (>63°F) => neoprene low booties.

- in cold water (54 - 63°F): High booties (boots) and gloves.

- in very cold water (44 - 54°F): High booties (boots), gloves, hood and hooded top...
