Suit for windsurfing

Post by asscrack »

You need a 5 4 3 mil neoprene suit.That is very flexible.the top brands are Hotline,Excel.Something good.You do a lot of thrashing learning,lots of time in the water.There is a local guy in Victoria selling a generic brand of {hotline suits}with a chest zipper.His phone number is Adam 483-5051.He has a website you can check.Prices seem very reasonable.Tell him John sent you. :lol: check this link http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-5mm-Cordova-Sun- ... dZViewItem

The company Cordova Sun is selling them on e-Bay. 5 mil. There is a link below.

I bought one and it seems fine although I haven't been in the water yet. The seams are stitched nicely and it comes with a hood.
I wish my TOW was longer!

An Xcel 6/5/4 Infinity wetsuit is toasty warm. The Bare Polar Heat drysuit is great too. Also check out the Ocean Rodeo Pyro Pro drysuit.
