Surfing Waves

ya just got a thermal rash guard for upcoming fall season.

It's the freakin bomb no icy drips running down your back and being summer up here it was a little too hot even in fifty degree water .

I think if I bump up to a 5/4/3 intrigrated hood or even a 6/5/4 winter will be toasty 4/3 is fine for spring ,summer and fall but winter is when it gets big here.

pray for swell

what are thermal rash gaurds and where can i find them? sounds interesting.

mine is made by oneill its almost fleace lined on the inside with a kindda lycra outside there are also companies that make windproof guards with opptional hoods check major wetsuit brands like rip curl ect.

ok thanks.

Its topnotch esp if your suit is a allyear rounder (eg 4/4/4) it give that extra therm but unfortunaly sacrifices manoverability...

I tend to start wearing mine round mid december (when i'm in North Wales) perhaps earlyer if the wind is icy

Ah thermal rashies, reminds me of when I went to Florida, nobody knew what the hell I was on about when I asked them where the ''rashvests'' were- ''The what sorry? Rashvests? Ooohh you mean rash guards, follow me! Have a nice day!''

Top Tip, never leave rashvests/guards wet if they have a design on them, my design mostly soaked off and stuck against itself. Oh well, I guess nobody else has exactly the same rashie as me around here now.
