How does one size a wet suit for bodyboarding? I'm 5'9'', 155, and a little broad shouldered.?

Question

Any questions I can ask the employee at the surf shop to get a good fitting suit? Or what should I look for to size a used suit?

Thanks.

Answer 1

i would recommend asking someone at the surf shop.  most surf shops will give you good advice.  if you're looking for a fullsuit (full arms and legs), it should be kinda difficult to get into and should fit pretty tight.  generally, the tighter the wetsuit, the warmer you will be.  obviously you don't want to tight of a wetsuit so that your movement is constricted.

Here's a little chart to help you decide, but I'm pretty sure you're a MEDIUM....

Medium:

Height- 5'7" - 5'10"

Weight- 145-160 lbs

Chest- 36"-38"

Waist- 31"-33"

Hips- 35"-37"
