    My friend and I are going out surfin this week and im picking up a wetsuit tommorow.I never have ridden in early spring late winter, so i was wondering what to get. I know i want a 4/3,will this hold me until the summer? Since its almost april should i bother with booties and gloves are these necessary, if so until when? btw im from nj

    Unless your a seal then nope you wont last 15 mins with no boots and gloves

    Get a set of 5 mil gloves and 7 mil boots, and you can get a detachable hood aswell so you can use your 4/3 with or without a hood . That would be the most economical thhing to do
