Answer 1

I don't use one. I live in Hawaii and the water isn't really often that cold. I also really don't like the way they feel on my skin. It's feels weird.

Enjoy

Answer 2

Answer 3

yes you should def but one. if your in an area around cali were its pretty cold i suggest you should use like a 3'2 and if your on the east coast like aaround nj and nc then you can just buy a 2'1 or a 2'2. if your in florida or hawaii or somewhere close to the equator just use a rash shirt. and the first time you go out on a coldday with a wet suit u wont be use to it and it will still be like your not wearing much but trust me you will get used to it. if you like to surf in the wionter were the waves are more powerful and bigger then you should get a full wet suit including booties and gloves and around like a 5' or a 6'

Answer 4

yes for sure buy one even if you don't use it this time around you can use it every time you go. I go to the beach often and I i have a wetsuit that I constantly. I would be lost with out it. Trust me there the best things ever and you will get a lot of use out of it. Once you have it on you wont want to take it off.!

Answer 5

Well In my opinion wet suits are THE BEST! They help keep you warm and they really work.

If you are going to be in the water for long periods of time and if its chilly i suggest a wet suit that has a "coat" that you can take off or put on. It's very helpful especially if it has warmed up a bit and you don't want the whole thing. Plus if you go swimming regularly then you really should get one.
