Answer 1

I live in a warm water area, but sometimes the water is still too chilly for my sealed seamed 3/2 suit. I wear a full Lycra suit underneath (from a dive shop). Like the surfer above stated, keep moving in the water.

Answer 2

keep moving in the water, paddle for lots of waves and if there aren't any waves at the time, paddle for different positions.

I went out yesterday in gloves, hood, booties and a wetsuit that leaked through the seams bad. If I had just sat there I would have lasted 20 minutes but I kept moving and cold never became an issue.

If you have a good 4/3 or thicker suit, don't pee in it. Urine will wear it down faster. Warm up the water in your suit by raising you body temp paddling.

Answer 3

You can get "undersuit thermals". Oneill make good ones. I have a set and I never get cold.

Also do what everyone above me said, keep moving.

Answer 4

get a thicker wetsuit and pee in your suit when you're in the water

Answer 5

Answer 7

You may want to look into getting a thicker wetsuit like a

" 3/4" this this thicker and will keep you warmer.
