FAQs
Are these suitable for surfing?
Yes, the short-arm and leg design is ideal for surfing in warmer waters as it prevents chafing and allows for unrestricted paddling.
How should I clean my wetsuit?
Rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after every use. Occasionally use a dedicated wetsuit cleaner to remove stubborn odors.
Can I machine wash the suit?
No, you should never machine wash or tumble dry the wetsuit, as this will destroy the neoprene and the stitching.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the manufacturer's size guide, focusing on your chest and waist measurements to ensure a snug, hydrodynamic fit.
Can I wear this in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, but be sure to rinse it well with fresh water immediately after use to prevent the chlorine from breaking down the material.
Troubleshooting
Difficult to zip up
Ensure the suit is pulled up fully and aligned correctly at the base of the zipper. If it feels stuck, check for sand or salt crystals in the zipper teeth.
Water entering the suit excessively
Verify that the neck and limb closures are fastened tightly and that you have selected the correct size for your body measurements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a proper fit, ensure the wetsuit is pulled up snugly against the skin, paying attention to the crotch and shoulder areas to prevent bunching. After every use in the ocean or pool, thoroughly rinse the suit with fresh, cool water to remove salt, sand, or chlorine. Avoid leaving the suit in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods, as UV exposure can degrade the neoprene over time. When drying, always hang the wetsuit on a wide, plastic hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area, avoiding wire hangers that may damage the shoulder fabric.
