Wind sports clips, photo galleries and honest gear notes from riders who chase the forecast.

Wetsuit Thickness by Water Temperature

A practical table for 3/2, 4/3 and 5/4 suits, with boots and hood advice. Comfort and wear told different stories. The most comfortable option was also the first to show damage.

How it held up

Most failures started small: a frayed stitch, a sticky valve, a knot that crept. Ten minutes of maintenance would have caught them.

  • Rinse with fresh water after every session
  • Store out of direct sun
  • Replace worn parts before they fail
  • Keep a small repair kit in the car

The best piece of kit is the one you forget you are wearing.

On a smaller board it is the same idea, just be patient on the lulls.

We tried this at our local spot last weekend and it worked a treat.

I would add one thing: always check the forecast twice on the day.
