    What kind of wetsuit do you recommend to use in Jersey throughout the fall, winter, and spring.. a 5/4/3 or a 4/3?

    Definitely will need a 5/4/3 in the dead of winter if you plan to be out more than an hour.

    Yep, 5/4/3 for sure as suggested. I need to check out a Patagonia! I like Rip Curl or Oneill. Just make sure it is taped and sealed. They don't really make suits like that without taping and sealing them anymore. I have been surfing over 20 years so I have seen some changes :) I started in OC, NJ so good luck bro! - John

    Keep an eye on WhiskeyMilitia. They've had the 4/3 and 5/4s up on sale a couple times this month! 50-60% off, I believe. Just gotta catch them at the right time.
