TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
YOU ARE AN ADVANCED SURFER
You surf intensively, and it is your favourite 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 dedication in powerful waves of more than one metre. We have designed a range for you that is suited to your intensive surfing and 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:
Water warmer than 20°C.
Water between 17 and 22°C.
Water between 12 and 17°C.
Water between 7 and 12°C.
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 efficient at reducing fatigue (more freedom of movement) and irritation. The same is true for the 900 models compared with the 500 models.
Choose the right size
To make the most of the features of your wetsuit, it is necessary to choose the correct size. A surfing wetsuit should be a very tight fit and there should be no visible folds. When dry, it is perfectly normal to feel like it is too tight, this discomfort disappears as soon as the wetsuit gets wet.
Fastening
Our zips and fastenings are laboratory tested in order to ensure an optimal lifespan and good resistance to salt water. We position the opening at the front of the top to make it easier to get on. This configuration is suited to the female body shape and is suitable for the lying-down position while paddling.
An outfit for every temperature range
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 water > 17°C: Low neoprene shoes.
- In water between 12 and 17°C: High booties (boots) and gloves.
- In water between 7 and 12°C: High booties (boots), gloves, hood and hooded top.
Water sports neoprene jacket
Our jackets and tops are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them compatible with other water sports such as sea wading or SUP (stand up paddle boarding).
