Hi everyone,
Sorry if this question has been asked a million times before.
I'm a paddlesports instructor who is about to venture into the saling/surfing/supping world.
I've been offered a place on a Sport Scotland instructor development scheme. This will be based on the isle of Cumbrae (firth of Clyde). Water temps seem to range from 8 degrees to about 14 degrees (celsius) for the time of year I'll be there. As it's a development scheme I'll be in the water till my toes fall off.
Does anyone have any advice on thickness of wetsuit required. I've just done four years in Spain where you don't need a wetsuit lol.
I was guessing about a 4/3mm? I spoke to a guy at wetsuit outlet and he said 3/2! Surely not. I am Scottish and have paddled a lot here but surely a 3/2 wouldn't suffice?
Massively grateful for any advice that leads to saving my extremities.
