In general, if you have already passed the beginner phase in surfing, you will be focused on buying quality equipment; but of course, we already know that they are worth their own and therefore, it is not a matter of buying the same season after season. The wetsuit is something fundamental for those of us who want to surf all year round, so discover here how to take care of it.
Surf with always new wetsuit
My suit has wax attached!
And yes, it usually happens but do not worry, with a little patience and some ice you will get rid of it. But be careful, do not scratch it with a brush or brush it. What you have to do is put it in a container with ice water, the most effective is that it has ice and then calmly release all the wax.
How to save it for next season?
First, take a toothbrush and clean the zip very well, it is very important that you do not use abrasive products when washing it.
It should be washed by hand, never in the washing machine, since after a couple of washes you will notice that its texture has changed and will deteriorate very quickly.
Detergents and others will deteriorate it quickly. You can buy a specific soap for wetsuits or I suggest that you put it in a bucket with water to which you will have added a tablespoon of baking soda. This in addition to removing odors will leave it in perfect condition. Of course, always wash it in cold water.
Once washed, put it to dry in the shade and from the waist, that is, do not grab it with tweezers by the shoulders. Once you make sure it is completely dry, spread it over the taco powder and then store it in a bag of these that come special to avoid moisture, moths etc.
Next season when you take it out to use it will be like new! It is recommended to change the costume every two seasons.
And in this regard, perhaps for a moment you think about buying a second-hand one. As I said at the beginning if you are not a beginner you will want to buy good equipment; but, take a look at a shop of used suits can be a good alternative, if you get one that has very little use. Sometimes there are people who buy just to learn or take classes for a few days and really leave them new.
So… go looking for the opportunity!
Beware of the velcro of the mooring
It is not unusual for it to sometimes adhere to the suit, be careful because even if it does not appear, it is something that damages the surface of the suit.
