Do you enjoy your surfing skills? Even if you are not an expert surfer and if you are just into your learning days than there is a lot more that you need to learn to ensure than you turn out to be an expert surfer over a period of weeks. While learning you can also use a surfing app. You would always have an added advantage of surfing if you live in a place which is very close to the sea. As a beginner you always need to have a good knowledge of the sea you are surfing in and also about your safety gadgets that can prevent any unfortunate events.

Wetsuit is one such gadget that acts as your safety guard while you are surfing the waves. Many a times you might be surfing in the cold water and that can be fun but dangerous as well because although you might enjoy the cold waves but your body might react to it differently. Wetsuit acts like a wall between your body and the cold waves and therefore it is made from neoprene which contains small nitrogen gas bubbles as nitrogen gas has very low thermal conductivity. This helps the surfer to enjoy the waves without any problems because the wetsuit keeps the surfer’s body warm and cozy although he might be surfing in cold wintry waters.

However, it is very important that you know the basics of purchasing wetsuits before you jump into the water during winter. You can read about problems that can arise due to surfing in cold waters and one of them is hypothermia where heat from your body quickly moves out. Hence, always buy a wetsuit that is perfect for you. The wetsuit should fit you like a second skin so make sure that it is not too loose or not too tight for you because in both the case the effectiveness of your wetsuit will minimize. If the wetsuit is loose around your collar than the water can quickly get close to your body and you may soon begin to lose the body heat eventually suffering from hypothermia. On the other hand, if the wetsuit is too tight than you might find it difficult to flex and move your body while surfing and might even have breathing problems. There are various sizes available for wetsuits so make sure that you try your wetsuit before you buy them from a good wetsuit and surfing gadgets store.

The quality of your wetsuit is also equally important and therefore you might have to spend a little extra if you are looking for an excellent quality wetsuit. Good quality wetsuits are normally made up of neoprene or other thin fabric like spandex and have a thickness of around 1mm to 5mm depending on the quality. The fabric should be stretchable because you will be flexing your body as when you are surfing. It is always advisable that you buy wetsuits from a good reputed store rather than purchasing it online because you should always try it before you actually go ahead and buy it.
