Does anyone surf and go swimming in the same wetsuit? Probably over a year ago I was in here asking about wetsuits and outdoor swimming (totally failed to act on it, partly because my local pool closed for months just as I was wanting to start), but went surfing today and had a good time so that's another good reason to get one. Really do not want to buy two wetsuits though.
Can I get a surf wetsuit and do a triathlon in it assuming I don't particularly care about how fast I am? It was nice and buoyant and warm (but a pain to get off) so reckon slow and sweaty outdoor swimming is better than cold and sinky surfing? And I can always pull the neck open to let some cold water in right?
Cool, thanks. Think the one I had today was 5/4/3mm so I'd be alright if they insisted on checking. And I was plenty warm although apparently the sea is as warm as it gets at the moment.
