Wetsuits have been a staple of water sports for decades. They provide warmth and protection in the water. But what is the history of wetsuits?
Picking up the perfect wetsuit is immensely important for avid watersports enthusiasts. Whether you’re a surfer, a kitesurfer, a paddle boarder or you take part in any of a number of other watersports – getting the right wetsuit is perhaps the most crucial early investment.
To work properly, a wetsuit should fit very tightly against the body. In addition, the thicker it is, the warmer it will keep you. The trapped water is rapidly warmed up by your body heat, and becomes an insulating layer. Neoprene is the material used in making wetsuits and it’s what acts as the insulator. Neoprene contains thousands of tiny air bubbles that act as insulators, trapping heat inside the wetsuit rather than releasing it into the water.
Many first timers ask us at The Watersports Centre – “What do you wear under a wetsuit?”. From board shorts, to a bikini, to nothing at all, what to wear under a wetsuit is a matter of personal preference. Most people prefer to wear a swimsuit or board shorts, and others may need to wear sport specific gear underneath their wetsuit depending on the activity they’re participating in.
