Why performance surfing wetsuit make a good gift

  • Neoprene breaks down over time, so a regular surfer eventually needs a new suit.
  • In Canadian and other northern waters, a good suit makes surfing possible through spring and fall.
  • It's a meaningful gift for someone who takes the sport seriously.

What to look for

  • A thickness such as 3/2, 4/3 or 5/4 mm that matches local water temperatures.
  • The exact size from the size chart, using height, weight and chest measurements rather than clothing size.
  • Entry style (back zip, chest zip or zipless), seam construction, and whether a hood is attached.
