wetsuit/drysuit ??

Postby nalu_kaikamahine » Fri May 14, 2004 2:19 pm

i am moving to huntington beach in 2 months and am worried about the cold water. I'm from florida where the water is 85º almost year round. I get cold really easy and thats in 70-75º water. Can anyone recommend a wetsuit or drysuit for a girl that will keep me warm?

You cant really surf in a drysuit, wet only im afraid.
70 farenheit is about 21 degrees celsius, at that temperature any wet suit is gonna make you really steam.
Boardies and rashy or the thinnest shorty you can find.
although you can get neoprene rashies these days maybe give one of them ago.
Where i surf its about 4 degrees celsius, 40 degrees farenhiet

But im well hard :roll:
