HOW TO CHOOSE A SURF WETSUIT FOR SPRING/SUMMER: a complete guide for every condition

With the arrival of the warmer season, choosing the right wetsuit is essential to fully enjoy every session in the water.

3/2 mm Wetsuit: the queen of mid-season

Among all options, the 3/2 mm wetsuit is the most versatile: perfect for mid-season, it's already used by the less cold-sensitive surfers from late March and remains the go-to gear in spring and autumn.

It can also be useful in summer, especially on cooler or windy days. In those cases, a lighter 2 mm wetsuit would be ideal.

Long John + Surf Jacket: maximum freedom

Having a wetsuit for every thickness is definitely a plus, but not always necessary. A very practical and loved solution is the Long John paired with a Surf Jacket.

Worn together, they offer warmth during cooler hours, while separately they ensure full freedom of movement. The jacket, worn open over a swimsuit, is a summer classic among longboarders. The Long John protects against wax abrasions without covering the arms.

Summer wetsuits: shorties, 1-2 mm, and short sleeves

For those who prefer short legs, there's the Short John, very popular among women, often combined with a Surf Jacket.

The most requested product for summer remains the 1-2 mm wetsuit: long sleeves with short legs (shorts-style for men, bikini-style for women). The short-sleeved version is also highly appreciated. Less common, but still valuable, are full suits with long legs and short sleeves — a small luxury for those who already have everything they need.
