what thickness wetsuit should i get?
Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:20 pmhi i have just started to really get into surfing and was wondering what thickness of a wet suit i should get for when it gets cold. i surf at holden beach and ocean isle. they are on the southern edge of NC. i was thinking a 3/2 suit might be ok, but does the water get too cold for that in the middle of the winter? im new to the whole wet suit thing so i dont really know much.
also if anyone surfs near there and would like to have someone to surf with im looking for people. Im 24 and i usually go everyother weekend. i hate surfing by myself though and none of my friends like it enough that they are interested in surfing in colder months. i stay near holden beach because thats where my parents have a place. im just a beginner and have just gotten to the point where i can go sideways on the waves and ride in front of where it breaks. i ride a 8'4" long board, and i bought a 6'8" fun board. although im afraid i might be a hair to heavy for it, because it feels pretty sluggish when i stand up on it compared to my long board.
anyway thanks for any help
