Hi everyone, I'm new to surfing and I'm trying to figure out what wetsuit to buy. I live in San Francisco so the water is really cold. I'm interested in Patagonia. What do you think of their wetsuits and the company in general?

Patagonia is ok, get a 4/3 mill for up north, or if you can afford one, get one of the new wetties that have a battery powered heater in them, i  know it gets pretty chilly up there! O'neil is a great wetsuit i would recommend them over patagonia, total personal choice though.

Mahalo!

Same here

I have just moved to Cornwall and i want to take up surfing. I  will just hire a surfboard for now but i dont want to wear a pissy hire wetsuit. I have a budget of around £300 to spend but i'm not too sure what is good and what isnt and do i really need to spend £300 on a wetsuit?

I have been looking at these wetsuits i guess 5mm is good enough for all year use?

This one has a detachable hoods http://www.freakfish.co.uk/oneill-mutant-wetsuit-543mm.html

and this one http://www.wetsuitcentre.co.uk/products.asp?pid=2099

Would anybody recommend these wetsuits, or anything else?

Thanks for your time guys.
