What kind of women's clothing for surfing?
Wetsuits for surfers are distinguished, first of all, by seasonality:
- summer clothes - for air and water temperature from 30 ° heat (swimsuit plus shorts and a T-shirt (Lycra) with a short sleeve or leggings and a lycra with a long sleeve);
- off - season - when the water warms up to +18 ° С and above, and the air - up to + 25 ° С and more (here one Lycra - even with a long sleeve - can be small, more often the models of the group "spring suit" of neoprene : Short sleeves and pants above the knees, a suit without sleeves, but covering the legs, and clothing that fits the whole body);
- a suit for cold water , with a temperature below + 18 ° C (neoprene suits covering the body, legs and hands, may be "dry" or missing the water).
Waterproof suits lose to their less sealed counterparts, and that's why: in the process of wave conquest, the body under the suit can simply overheat. Clothing that slightly passes water, just properly cools it by the slow intake of cool water.
Today, surf clothes make a lot of different brands: Quicksilver, Billabong, Hurley, Roxy, Rip Curl, InSight, Hippie Tree and others. Its quality is not very different, so it's not the brand, but the model that will suit you.
How to choose the right women's suit for surfing?
Clothing for women surfers is full of varieties of models, so newcomers may find it difficult to determine the choice.
Swimsuit is needed in any case - as an independent suit for morning and evening walks on the waves or as underwear for the main clothing of the surfer. Suits a solid or separate swimsuit with a top-top, necessarily tightly seated, so as not to correct or even lose it while driving on the waves.
In the afternoon, not to burn in the sun, wear over a swimsuit tights and lycra - better with a long sleeve, so as not to rub your forearm and not find a clear line on it, distinguishing a strong and weak tan.
If you are doing the kind of surfing where you need to work the paddle, your option is a suit with the top part in the form of a vest - it will not hold back the movement of the shoulders.
And do not forget accessories. In the heat, you will need a head piece (any one that fits well on your head) and special sunglasses, and in cold weather - special shoes, a helmet and a hydropermittal.
