THE FIT

A wetsuit that becomes you

A proper hire should feel like a second skin: tight is correct, but the trade-off is between a tighter fit for warmth or a slightly larger fit for easier entry.

THE DURATION

Flexible hire windows

Choose from hourly, daily or weekly hire periods to match a single surf session or an extended stay — hire length adapts to how long you want to be in the sea.

THE SIZE

Standard S sizing

Standard S is defined for heights approximately 167cm–172cm, giving a clear baseline when selecting a small adult wetsuit.

What the day feels like

What it feels like

From the moment you pull on a well‑fitted suit it changes how the sea feels: a close-fitting wetsuit keeps heat close to your body so you can stay out longer and focus on the session rather than the cold.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this hire suits — and who should think twice.

Small adults (standard S)Best matched to people whose height aligns with the standard S sizing; use the stated 167–172cm range as your guide.

Those prioritizing warmthIf staying warmer is the priority, choose the smaller size when between two options — a snugger fit traps more heat.

Those prioritizing ease of entryIf ease of putting the suit on and off matters more, opt for the larger size when between sizes.

People unsure between sizesIf you’re undecided, weigh warmth versus ease-of-entry and select accordingly; the hire offers options to match that choice.

Frequently asked questions

Planning Your Outing

What hire durations are available?

Hire is offered by the hour, by the day and by the week.

How should a wetsuit fit?

A wetsuit should feel like a second skin — tight is normal. The key decision is whether you prefer tighter for warmth or slightly larger for easier entry.

What is the standard S sizing?

Standard S sizing is given for heights of approximately 167cm–172cm.

If I’m between two sizes, which should I choose?

If you value warmth, choose the smaller size; if ease of getting the suit on and off is more important, choose the larger size.

Will a tighter suit keep me warmer?

Yes — a tighter fit reduces water flushing and retains more warmth, so pick the smaller size if warmth is the priority.
