Surf Talk Guru

Winter weather is creeping up on us here on the coast. The temperatures have been staying in the 40’s some days all day long. Most coasties know how to stay warm in the surf and can extend their sessions and therefore their skills.

Some essential gear: a 5/4mm hooded wetsuit and7mm booties. Some surfers like gloves, other’s don’t, but even a pair of 5mm’s can keep your hands working and comfortable. A non-essential, but much appreciated warmer is the Quiksilver PS+ Cypher Heat Vest.

Surfline posted a good article about what happens to our bodies when we’re exposed to the cold: http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/2009-wetsuit-preview-buyers-guide_30884/1/
