Is this suit flexible enough to surf in? I need flexiblity in the arms for paddling.

I use it for surfing only, good suit at a good value. Size may run on the small side.

I feel like it would be flexible enough to surf in...I didn't feel particularly restricted while swimming or snorkeling. I also wore the suit all day on the boat and didn't have any problems. It was a great buy!

I kayak in mine. Had to wear a couple times to work in the fit, but i really like it especially for the price. Just get right size,

Yes its very flexible and a great suit for the money. I would get one size larger than you might normally order.

Yes, I bought it for that purpose specifically. Suit offers good flexibility; I wouldn't buy anything greater than 3mm for surfing.Hope this helps!

The vest I ordered was too small and seemed very stiff. I doubt if you could swim in it because it basically keeps your head and shoulders out of the water; I guess, just as a lifejacket is suppose to do. I hope this helps you with your decision.

It's not as thin as a rash guard but is perfect for me. I don't put my face in the water but do swim back and forth with ease. I think you'll really like it!!!

No way, man. If you're just starting out and want a foamy, you're going to want a much longer board with better buoyancy:weight. They are expensive, so I suggest renting for a few days and get smart on the characteristics of the board, what length works for you, what's best for your wave conditions, etc.

I wear mine for kayaking and getting in the water with temperatures in the low 40's. I live in VA. I love the suit, just takes time to break it in with the right fit. You might be able got with a 3mm and 2mm sleeves. For the price I could not beat it.I hope this helped.

I am not exactly sure what specifically would make it good for kayaking but I use it when I am Stand Up Paddle Board racing. The only issue you might have with it is there is no cross piece that holds the two shoulder straps together so if you are doing some really rough kayaking, it might not stay secure on your shoulders, but if you are just paddling around, it would be fine.

Likely not. They are intended to be worn snugly so that a rash does not occur while surfing or boogie boarding . If you normally wear a xl or xxl shirt, Ho with a large to have a tight fit ( wetsuit like). There is some sizing discrepancy from skin to skin, as some are made from either different material depending on color choice. Suggest get two or more and see what fits ahead of your water date. If you purchase for ocean use, and buy too big, you will gather sand inside and get that rub rash ( even with just swimming) if for pool use you can go with a size closer to your shirt size ( no sand getting in)...

I would say it's pretty flexible. I used it on the arm of a 5 yr old without a problem.

Amazon sent me an email to answer this and I can't but I can say that the wetsuit is thick enough to work. We went to lake Michigan this summer and the water was very cold (I never went in) but my incredibly wussy, wimpy daughter did and was warm enough in it! :)

I didn't have anything break. The whole system does not feel right. I returned my fins right away, stick with DUCK FEET. You will never go wrong with Duck Feet, that is if you are a Body Surfer.

It was a true fit for me (normally a XL or 1X in ladies due to chest and got a XL). Of course, you want a wetsuit to be a little snug. I use it for kayaking, and it has good flexibility. I love that I can unzip it if I get too warm. I'm 5'1" and pair it with the crop pant separate, and get a nice fit.

Yes but your towel can't be super thick... If you have an absorbent thin towel I think you would be fine, but if you want to take a big towel and a lunch and drinks and your suit it would be pretty crammed.

I would think not, I use it for river rafting, but then I'm not in the water all the time. I think a thicker suit would be better for your described use. Of course that depends on where you are. On the Columbia River near Hood river, you might freeze?

That suit should be perfect, my 5 year old wore his earlier this year in 60 degree and cooler water, he is in a short arm short leg suit now that the water is upper 60s I've surfed my entire life in RI and have had lots if suits, this is a great suit for the price

This product is perfect for that! I do deep water lP swimming in the pool and it allows you the movement and the flexibility to do what ever you want! Make sure you keep it tight around your waist, and always check that! I have two of them and I would think you will be happy with this product!
