- This week I'm going to break down almost everything you could want to know about picking up a wetsuit for kiteboarding, surfing, windsurfing, you name it. Initially I planed on just doing a video on front zip vs back zip wetsuits but I figured why not go a little deeper.
In this video I'll cover front zip vs back zip, economic vs expensive, sizing and thickness. As always, if I missed something, please let us know in the comments! I've been reading the comments on our page and in the forums and I love all the great feedback everyone has to offer.

Perfect beginner info.
I watched a few before yours, and yours nailed it.
Maybe hang wet suits it in showers or toilet area.
The boss might wonder why the work stations are rusting out. Lol.
one of the cons of front zip is you can't tighten neck opening to prevent water going in. For a back zip, you can make it as tight as you like.
got more info from this comment on front vs back zip than this 12 fucking min video gave.
thanks. i want to swim in northern california and it is just too cold. one day I may try kiting
good content but music was too loud which made hearing the information you presented difficult at times. I realise that this video is over 2.5 years old now and hopefully you've fixed that
Grrat vid man! So detailed 👌🏻
Thanx!
Have you guys done/can you do a boots vs bindings comparison? Who would want to go to boot aside from wakestylers?
Hi Scott, Blake and I did one a while back before we kicked off this series. th-cam.com/video/f3bz1xa_Dxc/w-d-xo.html Thanks for the great comment. - Rygo
What is a "water flush". Spent an hour trying to zip up my back zip today and failed. Back zips are a waste of time if you like going out by yourself.
I had the same problem with the chest zip today. Impossible for me to do. Very frustrated
thanks for the overview...are there plans to compare surf foils and boards?
I'll be doing a number of boards in this series. Tucker will be doing a lot of foil videos very soon. Was there anything in specific you would like to see? -Rygo
Yes, a comparison between the Takuma Concept, Slingshot H2 or H4, and Naish Thrust
I've got it on the list. We'll try and get these done with Tucker here. - Rygo
you guys are AWESOME!! I've already purchased a couple of kites from your online store,including a bar and miscellaneous accessories...great job with these honest reviews, comparisons, and tutorials
Cheers!
Good stuff. You touched on smooth skin a little. For windsports, I find that smoothskin panels have a big impact on wetsuit warmth. Smoothskin can also be fragile so kind of a tradeoff. I actually put NP Amourskin top on OVER my wetsuit when its cold - this helps a lot. The top is kind of fragile thoug - so when the Amourskin gets chewed up, I just get a new one - a lot cheaper than a new wetsuit.
Bob, that's an awesome idea! Thanks for chiming in on this one. These are the kinds of comments I'm always looking for on these videos. -Rygo
You bet. The NP Armourskin tops run small, so go up one from your normal size - especially if you are wearing it over a wetsuit.
Thx👍
hardly even talked about front vs back zip at all. wtf
Right on-thanks for sharing your opinion, my friend. 🤙🏽 Good winds! -Aaron
