Time for a tropical holiday
Got the wintertime blues? Winter is taking a strong grip here and winter wetsuits are definitely the main item on the agenda. But we've have had several lucky customers getting sorted with lighter weight gear before heading off on a Pacific island winter escape holiday.
So many in fact, it made us realize how different we all are in our needs for light weight gear options in warmer waters. Even warm water has a cooling effect on your body temperature after a modest amount of time. You need some protection to make that sojourn into warm water all the more pleasurable and enjoyable.
An important thing to think about in warm temperatures is sun and wind protection—even on a warm day a cold breeze can cool you quickly. Don't forget, if you keep warm you can spend more time in the water - possibly catching more waves.

What do others say about their Seventhwave gear?
"My Seventhwave "quiver" of gear has grown over the last few years and all of it has given relentless performance and kept me very warm. I'm always getting good comments and asked about my wetsuits and especially the Surf All Day Vest.[more:]"
Craig Morgan
Ohope Beach Bay of Plenty
"I love my Seventhwave wetsuits, they are so warm: when I'm out in the water with my mates they are freezing in their 3x2 big name brand suits and I have my 2x2 Seventhwave suit on and so toastie. I've tried a lot of brands of suits and I think the quality of the Seventhwave suits is the best, from the kneepads to the neoprene.[more:]"
Michael van der Klooster

"These shorts are perfect for getting out on your SUP when you don’t want to look like a Russian gymnast. I loved these and made plenty of use in them in the surf. A great alternative to boardies when the water’s chilling down and the boys need warming.[more:]" From Smorgasboarder #11, the All Black Issue.
