Big up spring, the days are warmer, more prolonged, after and pre-work surfs are a thing again, what\u2019s not to like? It\u2019s time to give the 6mm one last loving wash, dry and hang it carefully in your cupboard. Those boots and gloves can be stashed too unless you\u2019re one of those \u2018surfing without boots is weird eh?\u2019 sorts, or you only surf sharp reefs. Being British and Irish we don\u2019t get the luxury of boardshort \/ bikini surfing very often, so your default other wetty is the spring suit. Generally 3mm neoprene but no less tech than the winter cousins. A good 3mm will see you into early winter if it\u2019s a good one. Here are a few pointers.<\/strong> \u00a0 1. WELL FIT <\/strong>Getting a wetsuit that fits you is your main priority. Too loose and you\u2019ll get flushed with Atlantic brine. Too tight and you\u2019ll go gammon and look like you should be shouting in a yellow vest outside of Parliament. There are plenty of tall\/short options these days so whatever your shape there\u2019s a suit for you out there. The right suit is like your favourite Italian leather driving glove. So figure out what entry works for you be it back zip, chest or zipperless. The entry isn\u2019t as important in summer suits as the seal isn\u2019t so vital as it is in winter suits. Be aware that one brand\u2019s \u2018Medium\u2019 isn\u2019t the same size as others, so support your local shop and try on the suits that fit your budget and needs to get the perfect match. A summer suit should be a breeze to get on, not a solo MMA bout. <\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>
\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t
2. GET THE RIGHT SUIT <\/strong> Do you surf for three hours or one? Do you tend to sit and chat a lot or are you motor-boating around the lineup maxing your wave count? A top end 3mm will keep your warmer, but if you\u2019re a short and sweet session kind of guy, then the surf co\u2019s middle options might suit. 3. BOOTY CALL <\/strong> It\u2019s spring, hell, nearly summer, we don\u2019t want extraneous bits, but if you are a bootie lover, then thin summer boots are a lot more responsive than your winter wellies. 4. REPLACE? RENEW? REPAIR? <\/strong> If you need a new suit fair enough, but check out your old one. Could it be repaired and used as a second suit? Quality wetsuit repairs are amazingly cheap and well worth the effort. 5. BE KIND<\/strong> Your wetsuit is an investment piece these days. Rinse and dry your suit after each surf, not in direct sun, on a proper hanger, treat it well, and it\u2019ll last for years. Use changing mats to stop you stomping it into the sand\/grav <\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>
