How to wash a wetsuit

Regular cleaning is one of the easiest ways to extend the lifespan of a wetsuit. After each surf session, it is recommended to rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand and other residues that can gradually affect the neoprene. For a deeper clean, a wetsuit cleaner can help remove odours, bacteria and build-up while preserving flexibility and overall performance. Always allow your wetsuit to dry in a shaded and well-ventilated area, as prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause neoprene to age more quickly.

How to repair a wetsuit

Small cuts, tears and damaged seams are a normal part of a wetsuit’s lifespan, especially after repeated exposure to stretching, salt water and everyday use. Repairing minor damage early can help prevent larger issues from developing while maintaining warmth, flexibility and overall performance. Many small repairs can be completed at home using neoprene glue, repair patches and seam reinforcement materials designed specifically for wetsuits. By addressing damage as soon as it appears, surfers can extend the life of their wetsuit and reduce unnecessary waste.

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your SRFACE wetsuit. After each session, rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water to remove salt, sand, and other residues. Do not use hot water, detergents, or machine washing, as these can degrade the neoprene and seams.

Turn your wetsuit inside out while drying to protect the outer surface from UV damage. Hang it on a wide, padded hanger or fold it at the waist over a drying rack to prevent shoulder stretch. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources (like radiators or car trunks) which can cause the neoprene to become brittle over time.

Once fully dry inside and out, store your wetsuit in a cool, dry, and shaded place. For long-term storage, keep it hanging or loosely folded without creases, and avoid placing heavy items on top of it. With regular care, your SRFACE wetsuit will remain flexible, warm, and ready for the water whenever you are.

Front zip wetsuits offer several performance and comfort benefits over traditional back zip designs. By placing the zipper across the chest, front zip wetsuits reduce water flushing, the movement of cold water into the suit, which helps keep you warmer for longer. The front entry also allows for a more flexible and seamless back panel, giving you greater freedom of movement, especially when paddling or duck diving. Unlike back zip suits that can feel restrictive or create pressure along the spine, a front zip maintains comfort without sacrificing performance. Plus, there's no need to reach behind your neck to zip up, making it easier to get in and out of the suit on your own.
