We love 4/3mm xcel wetsuits. They keep us and our clients warm year round and have the most pliability to accommodate different body types and weight fluctuations.
Although we provide all equipment necessary for all of our surf programs, we do not do rentals. We recommend renting from the Bolinas Hardware Store.
