  1. i swear ive answered this question before. . the cold isnt too bad(but it depends on how often u fall) . i would go in boxers and trunks and a top. the boxers i recommend exremely. i wasnt wearing them one time and i sat up on my board and my shorts ripped, i had to borrrow my friends wetsuit.but in the winter it can be pretty bad. it just depends on how tolerant you are to cold. again, a rashguard and surf shirt would help. but then again it would never hurt to wear a full suit. do what you like best. and u can expiriment a little.


  2. This rule applies everywhere!

    If the water is 65 degrees or above, you wear trunks

    If the water is 64 degrees or below, you wear a wetsuit.

    Just because some people like to wear wetsuits year round in California doesn't mean you have to.

    Much mahalos man!

  3. trunks...fo sho!

  4. That depends on two factors, air temperature and the water temperature, especially water temperature. To know what that is you might need to check with the National Weather Service Web site to find that information.

  5. wetsuit, or trunks. matters if i might die of hypothermia or not.

  6. wet suit,

  7. gotta have a wetsuit here in northern california

  8. Depends on the water temp, of course!

    In So Cal I wear a 3/2 wetsuit in the winter when the water is in the 50's.. in the spring and fall I'll wear a 2/1 shortie wetsuit when the water is in the high 50's to low 60's... in the summer when the water gets into the mid-to-high 60's I'll wear trunks and a rash guard.

    If you only wear trunks you're gonna need a rash guard, otherwise you're gonna get sunburned and a nasty, painful rash from the wax rubbing on your chest and nipples... I get mine here:

    C-ya in the lineup!

  9. This entirely depends where in California! For the Bay Area, I stay in a 4/3 all year. I also add an insulating rashguard and shorts in the winter.
