Wetsuit info

Hi

I'm off to Sardinia shortly and am looking to do some bodyboarding and snorkelling.

The air temp will be about 32c and the water temp about 22c.

I am getting a lot of conflicting advice as to what kind of wetsuit to get.

I have my eye on a Ripcurl 3/2 E Bomb what do you think of this choice?

Is right for the conditions?

Mark

I'd imagine that would be plenty warm enough... I'm using a cheap 3/2mm suit here in the UK at the mo.

make sure it fits

I was out on Tuesday in a decent 3mm shorty in Llandudno. thing doesn't fit me very well these days and i was cold.

mixture of northerly winds, low temperatures and a good flushing every now and then and the shivers were there.

Got called a nutter too. didn't think they knew me.
