Got my first surfboard finally!

Postby SurferDude99 » Sat Jan 07, 2017 10:25 pm

Hey,
I finally got my first surfboard and going for a surf tomorrow. But I have wetsuit gloves which when one is pulled on I can't get the others pulled on fully how do I do this? I will update when I finish the surf

My gloves are really thin so I don't have much trouble getting them on. If I want a tighter fit, I just interlace my fingers and jam my hands together until the gloves are snug. Congrats on the new board!

They use them a lot at the surf schools around me, I've caught some lovely waves on them as well.

Surferdude99,
You should catch many waves with that foamie!
About the gloves: before you put the first one on, partially turn the second one inside out. Turn the wrist up to the base of the fingers. Then put glove one on. Then slide glove 2 over fingers on bare hand. Once fingers are in, then undold turned up glove over bare hand.
