wetsuit
Strong southerlies such as the ones we had last week usually bring nice waves to our coast, once the wind dies out, but the water is freezing and it won’t get better now that winter is approaching.
We’re used to surfing in conditions harsher than you’ll find in Wellington, but my wetsuit is old (got it second hand two years ago) and it’s falling apart. That’s why I bought a new suit today, an Xcel Inifity 4/3mm. Whoa I didn’t know surfing could be so warm! I just love this suit, it fits really well, it’s light and stretchy and it lets almost no water through. Isn’t it weird that Hawaiian company Xcel makes such good winter suits?!
