  1. glue a butt protector patch for your use, or ask the sales person in person with wet suit to "testify"the size and sort it out at the shop/store it IS their thing after all. velcro straps can seal a real loose suit -at wrists &ankles- if rashes aren't a problem ,looks cost premium "super soft neoprene"! very comfortable.

    TRY IT WET ask shop about this and return option.

    water might feel good. normally  no underware for surfers, shorts might suck.... you need??? panty hose... watch others


  2. it will stretch out once wet, but you need it tight enough to keep a layer of water to keep you warm.

  3. Your average Wetsuit will have a zip to make it possible to get in and out of the Wetsuit. With a particularly tight suit this can be the most exhausting part of your day! The zips are situated in different places on the suit, traditionally down the back of the Wetsuit, but can be found across the shoulders or high up on the chest. The latest Wetsuits are made out of neoprene so stretchy that you can get in through the neck. Pretty cool stuff.

    How Wetsuits Work:

    A Wetsuit works by trapping a thin layer of water between the Wetsuit and the skin. The body temperature of the surfer heats this water giving a nice warm water blanket. This is why getting a Wetsuit that fits well is a must. The Wetsuit should be a nice tight fit (not too tight that you can't move freely) and should be no baggy areas where the suit comes away from your body. If it is for cold water make sure that there is also a nice tight fitting neck - there is nothing worse than ducking under a wave and getting a blast of cold water right down your back
