Children's Jumpsuits

Choose the best children's surfboard combo at Hawaiisurf

Children love enjoying the waves and the fun that surfing provides. To ensure their safety and comfort, it is essential to choose a suitable surf wetsuit. Hawaiisurf offers a wide selection of surf wetsuits for children. This article will guide you in your selection by detailing the different brands such as MDNS, Rip Curl, and Vissla available on our site.

Why choose a wetsuit for children?

The children's wetsuit is designed to offer your little surfer maximum comfort and protection. Made mainly of neoprene, these wetsuits retain body heat while providing great freedom of movement. Neoprene also helps protect the delicate skin of young surfers from scratches caused by the board's wax or underwater rocks.

In addition to protecting against cold and minor injuries, a suitable wetsuit improves your child's performance in the sea. It offers better buoyancy that helps keep the child afloat and gives them confidence to paddle and catch waves. This is especially beneficial for beginners discovering the joys of surfing.

Neoprene is the ideal material for surf wetsuits. It is lightweight, flexible, and has excellent insulating properties. On our Hawaiisurf website, we offer several thicknesses of neoprene to adapt to varying weather conditions. For summer use, a 2mm wetsuit may suffice, while in winter, a 4/3mm wetsuit or a 5/4mm surf wetsuit is recommended to ensure optimal insulation.

The type of wetsuit: full suit or shorty?

There are two main types of children's surf suits: full suits and shortys. A full suit covers the entire body, including the arms and legs, which is perfect for surfing in cold water. Shortys, on the other hand, have short sleeves and short legs, offering greater freedom of movement for summer activities where the water is warmer.

To ensure maximum efficiency, the suit must be well fitted to the child's body without being too tight. A good fit prevents excessive infiltration of cold water and preserves the insulating capacity of the suit. Hawaiisurf offers a wide range of sizes for boys and girls. You will also find specific recommendations for each brand to help you make your choice.

Tips for maintaining the children's wetsuit

To extend the lifespan of your child's wetsuit, it is essential to rinse it with fresh water after each surfing session. This helps remove salt and sand that can damage the neoprene.

During drying, it is best to avoid direct exposure to the sun as UV rays can damage the neoprene. Always dry the suit in the shade, inside out to prevent mold.

Store the wetsuit in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid folding it to prevent cracking of the neoprene. Use a wide hanger or a special wetsuit hanger to maintain its shape and ensure its longevity.
