Might sound like a ridiculous question...but is it practical to just wear a rashguard and boardies (no wetsuit)? Or do you folks just wear thinner wetsuits when surfing in warm climates?

I sometimes wear only boardies, although you can get a rash it is just the best feeling if you have nice boardies, a wetuit can get uncomfortable compared to boardies.

In warm water I just wear my board shorts. Rash gaurds give me a rash.....go figure

don't like surfing without a rashguard if i'm in boardies because i always get sun burned when i'm in the water but as for the rash factor it only comes once or twice (for the first session) and then it's fine after that.

i like to wear a rash vest and boardies, my rash vest is black so it keeps me warm when in and out of the water.

i hate wearing a rash guard i find if its boardie weather then thats all i will wear as even the slightest wind seems to make me colder in a rash guard. Dont know the science behind it thats just what i have found
