Wet suit or Dry suit for sailing, surfing.?

Question

I am learning wind surfing & sailing in boston. Very frequently i trip in water and get wet. Continuing this way, after some minutes i feel very cold and i start shivering ..and i loose my body temp.. i could not do the activities very long time.

Can some one suggest me what kind of suit i should purchase to maintain my body heat even though i fall in water for much time..>

Summer lasts for another 8 weeks.. After this the water temp will be further low...so.. i am wanted to practice as much as i can... ..now...

Answer 1

Dry suits are more expensive but cover a broader range of temperatures. Newer websuits for surfing are more flexible. Either will work for surfing in moderate temps. Just depends what else you will be using them for. Invest in a dry suit if you ever might be in cold water. For more assistance, check out your local scuba/surf shop for temp ranges. Hope this helps....
