Surfing suit, which one?

Postby Quetzal » Sat Sep 24, 2016 4:44 pm

Hello,

I'm French, 28 yo, and I started surfing two months ago.
I'm a beginner and I need advice to make the right decision about my first surfing suit.
I want to keep it as long as possible, and I can surf 30/40 days a year at different periods.

I was advised about these two suits in France :

O´neill Wetsuits Superfreak Fz 4/3 mm (150€ / $168USD) https://www.swiminn.com/natation/oneill ... lsrc=aw.ds
Hurley Fusion 403 (207€ / $232USD) https://www.swiminn.com/natation/hurley ... 36226811/p

Sea temperature between 13°C (winter) and 22°C (summer).

What would you choose?
Thank you very much!

I have a 4/3 Superfreak. It's a great suit, and has by far outlasted my flimsy Xcel suit. I will be going O'neill for my future suits.

I've become a fan of Yamamoto neoprene. I'm thinking about going with one of these http://feralsurfing.com/collections/wet ... ooded-4mm3 wetsuits the next time I get a new one. I won't wear it in Japan though until I check in with the local surf samurai to find out if it's acceptable apparel at the local break. :ninja:

Whichever that fits you better
