    Have decided its high time I got a real wetsuit.

    Any one have any advice? Theres a guy at the bottom of Barrys point road (northshore) that I was told to go to. Im tall, skinny and get cold fast!

    Full suit? or open arms with a Jacket? I want to be able to ride in winter and not have an issue so let me know what has worked for you.

    Cheers

    i have a rip curl which is light and thin. It is also very flexible and keeps me warm in the middle of winter. It is full lenght. I got it from Barries point rd.

    Hey all,

    I'm lookin for an armless wetsuit. Had a look in a few shops but can't find that particular type. Haven't worn one thus far down in Qtown but over the winter it may be handy...

    I suggest to all Seventhwave. www.seventhwave.co.nz
    I surf all year round and my current suit is full length and great for both summer, winter and the inbetween and no problems wearing it on the ski. I have been getting my suits there for years and always been very happy. They are a bit dearer but you get a great NZ made suit. They custom make too and I'm sure they will make an armless suit. Factory based in Chch but have a shop in Aux. Otherwise try a dive shop for armless. Good luck!
