I am so interested in surfing; it’s always been a dream of mine! But I live in the New England area and I don’t believe there’s any surfing along the coast here, is there? I heard a rumor of surfing in Main but I didn’t think the waves were good/big enough there. Any comments or suggestions? Also, would the wetsuits keep me warm enough if I ever did attempt surfing here? Thanks!

I’m moving to Ocean City,NJ this winter. Decided I should take up surfing since I will be living right on the beach. Thanks for the tips. Cant wait to bring all my skateboarding skills to the ocean learn.

Thanks, most informative article about wetties i have read on the net.
Going to be surfing in the UK come Winter break, probably going to have to invest in a 5/4/3 plus all the extras…

Keep up the quality writing, it doesn’t go unnoticed

Good info, very informative, I am just about to learn. I have everything I need, I just need to get in the water, but I’m just not sure what the perfect water temperature is for your first time. Any Ideas?
Just wondering.
P.s: I’m on the eastern coast of Australia if that helps.

Thanks so much! Lived in San diego all my life never surfed. I was given a new board so I tried it, loved it, but of course, I was cold with no wetsuit. Thanks for the info!

Don’t pee in your suit unless you like to marinate yourself in urine. Wetsuit design has come along way so you’re likely to steep in that pee for the rest of your session. Then you’re the guy (or girl, but I have a feeling this topic isn’t directed at you) in the car that smells like pee on the way home; don’t be that guy. Not to mention it won’t take long for your suit to develop a permanent funk. Urine is only sterile until it enters the urethra and it contains compounds that can irritate the skin, in case you still aren’t convinced. That said, there will come a day when it will be necessary, and at least then you can say “it was so good I pissed my suit” and it will actually mean something.
