As an avid swimmer, newbie surfer and lover of all things ocean, I was beyond excited to get my hands on the new Roxy Pro Surf Wetsuit. After putting it to the test in the beautiful yet often chilly waters of Newquay, I am thrilled to share my experience with you.

The Perfect Fit for British Waters

First off, let’s talk about the fit. The Roxy Pro Surf Wetsuit is designed with British surf conditions in mind, and it truly shines in the cool waters of Newquay. I took it out on at the weekend, and the 4/3mm thickness provided just the right amount of insulation without making me feel bulky or restricted. The wetsuit features Roxy’s StretchFlight x3 neoprene, which is not only lightweight but also incredibly warm, allowing me to stay out on the waves longer without feeling the chill.

Comfort and Flexibility

One of the standout features of the Roxy Pro Surf Wetsuit is its superior comfort. The wetsuit is crafted with Flush Lock 2.0 Seals, which provide extra protection while maintaining flexibility. This meant I could paddle, pop up (or attempt to!), and ride the waves without any discomfort or resistance. The wetsuit’s Hydrolock seam seal system also deserves a mention – it not only minimises water entry but also feels smooth against the skin, eliminating the irritation that can sometimes come with prolonged wear.

Fun Patterns for Fashion-Forward Surfers

In addition to its technical prowess, the Roxy Pro Surf Wetsuit stands out with its fun and vibrant patterns. For those of us who love to bring a bit of fashion to the waves, this wetsuit does not disappoint. From tropical florals to geometric prints, there’s a design to suit every style. It’s perfect for making a statement both in and out of the water, combining functionality with a touch of flair.

The Ultimate Surf Experience

Now, let’s get to the best part – I almost forgot I was wearing it! The wetsuit’s ergonomic design, combined with its lightweight construction, meant that it didn’t impede my movements in the slightest. Whether I was duck diving under waves or attempting to pop up, the wetsuit moved with me seamlessly. The lack of irritation or chafing was a game-changer, making my surf session all the more enjoyable.

Technical Benefits

Here are some of the technical benefits that make the Roxy Pro Surf Wetsuit a top choice for surfers:

  • StretchFlight x3 Neoprene: Lightweight yet warm, perfect for maintaining body heat in colder waters.
  • WarmFlight® Far Infrared Thermal Lining: Converts body heat into infrared energy to keep you warmer.
  • Triple GBS (Glued and Blind Stitched) Seams: For maximum flexibility and minimal water entry.
  • Hydrolock Seam Seal: Provides an extra barrier against water while being smooth and comfortable against the skin.
  • Flush Lock 2.0 Seals: Prevents water from flushing into the suit.
  • Ecto-Flex Knee Pads: Durable and flexible protection for your knees.
  • Hydroshield Water Barrier: Prevents water from entering the chest zip for added warmth.

Where to Buy

If you’re as excited about the Roxy Pro Surf Wetsuit as I am, you can purchase it directly from the Roxy website or at your local surf shops. The wetsuit is priced at around £250, which is a solid investment for its quality and performance. As I always like to say, buy cheap, buy twice. I certainly know I won’t be needing a new surf wetsuit any time soon.

So, whether you’re a seasoned surfer or just starting out like me, I highly recommend giving the Roxy Pro Surf Wetsuit a try. It’s a fantastic blend of comfort, flexibility, warmth, and style, making it ideal for tackling the British surf!

Until next time, stay stoked and keep riding those waves!

Love,
Annie 💙
