Hi everyone I live in Cornwall and I am new to surfing,Ive just aquired a 7' 10" NSP mini mal to get myself started but buying a wetsuit is getting very confusing, do I need a summer wetsuit for summer and a winter wetsuit for winter or can I get away with just buying a winter wetsuit for all year round ?
Thanks in advance

You'll definitely need 2 wetsuits for surfing cornwall. 3mm for summer and 5mm (+boots/gloves/hood/thermal rashie) for winter.
A winter wetsuit will be much much too warm in summer.

Well, to look on the bright side at least your water warms up in the summer.
