Whats everyone wearing?

6mm suit for me right now. Air temps are the reason.

 

where are you located it would give a better idea of what you should be wearing

 

Before the hurricane I decided to wear a 5/4 and was definitely feeling the heat - a 4/3 would've worked for sure (some people were in 3/2's, but they were getting cold fast). With the air temperatures now though, I don't know if I would be using a 4/3 anymore - I'd rather hot out in the lineup than cold.

Btw, I wasn't wearing gloves and didn't need booties - would probably put them on the next time we're able to get in though.

 

A 3/2 with booties is enough for most south of NY

 

wear clothes because there is no beach access!

 

4/3 suit, 3mm boots, 1/5mm gloves (soon to be 3mm). way too early for the 5/4's in Massachusetts

 

Totally depends on the person. Your average person would be freezing in a 4/3 with air temps in the 30s or even 40s.

 

In VA Beach the water temp is around 55 with similar air temps, and I'm in a 3/2 suit, 5mm boots, and 3mm gloves ... So far it's seemed pretty comfortable, at least for a two hour session.

 

It's all about the hood

 

Still wearing a spring suit. That is the positive side of living down south.

 

I'm wearing a pink thong with fishnet stockings and a studded bra. No one takes my waves or even surfs within 100 yards of me.

 

Pictures or it didn't happen! Wait you are a middle aged man.... never mind the pictures.

 

Look at the water temp at the top of the page with forecast info for your area. Even tells you what suit/booties are reccommended. But, even with all that, you should know how the cold affects your body and go with that. Ive been wearing my 5/4 for almost a month in Mass with booties, and mittens depending on air temp, and getting more waves because kids are trying to tough it out with 3/2s and getting out after 2 hours. Id rather surf longer and be toasty...

 

im wearing a speedo with a wifebeater making sales calls from home waiting for the windswell to arrive. thnaks for asking.

 

hum im in RI wearing a 3 mil and no boots. water still aint bad.

 

A hazmat suit, with respirator

 

4/3 Hazmat suit works well here in NY. Next time I'll also wear goggles.
