A general rule of thumb is that the lower the water temperature, the thicker the suit should be.<\/strong> <\/p>\n As for the types of wetsuits, there are several on the market, each with its own characteristics:<\/p>\n In terms of thickness, however, we can classify wetsuits as follows:<\/p>\n Another feature to consider is the material<\/strong>. Wetsuits are traditionally made of neoprene<\/strong>, a type of synthetic rubber. Nowadays, manufacturers pay more attention to sustainability: many brands produce eco-friendly wetsuits with less polluting materials. <\/p>\n Wetsuits usually have seams and zippers<\/strong>, and may be accompanied by accessories to complete the outfit.<\/p>\n The seams can be flatlock, for summer suits, or GBS (Glued and Blind Stitched), which offer greater water resistance; suits are also available with sealed or liquid-sealed seams for colder conditions.<\/p>\n Zippers may be on the back, chest or absent. The choice depends on factors such as the ease of putting on and taking off the wetsuit and the amount of water that can enter. <\/p>\n Finally, neoprene booties, gloves and hats can be useful<\/strong>, especially in cold water or for protection from rocky bottoms.<\/p>\n The duration of surfing sessions also influences the choice of wetsuit:<\/p>\n As for prices, they vary depending on the materials, the thickness of the suit and the brand<\/strong>. In general, there are different price ranges, from the cheapest to the highest performance. A good compromise is usually the mid-range. <\/p>\n Once you have purchased your wetsuit, it is important to take good care of it<\/strong>: for example, rinse it under running water after each use and avoid direct exposure to the sun.<\/p>\n If you already have some experience and surf regularly, you should probably invest in the purchase, but if you are a beginner and want to find out if surfing is for you, it is better to rent one<\/strong>.
