Wetsuits keep you nice and warm in the water. To find the right neoprene thickness, it is good to know in which water temperature you will be surfing. A 3/2 mm wetsuit is sufficient for the Dutch summer. But for the real winter sessions you must have a 5 mm wetsuit. The longest surfable thickness in our North Sea is a 4/3 mm wetsuit. This allows you to surf from April to October. If you are still feeling chilly, you can purchase a cap, gloves, shoes or a vest. These accessories can give you that extra bit of warmth you’re missing!

Nowadays there are great advancements in the field of wetsuits. There are developments in neoprene that generate even more heat and neoprene that dries very quickly. Just what you're looking for!
