Nice last one, love the shoulder caps style ! Are springsuits for experienced surfers only, or is the freedom of arms and legs helpful for beginners too ?
I ordered a wetsuit from billabong, 5/4, fully blue, gorgeous and hearing you say "i downsize in billabong" ..... 4 is the smallest size ... kinda curious to see now if it'll fit 😂😂
I fall between the sizing for a size 8 and 10... I’m not sure what one to get!! 🤦♀️ I normally wear a size 10 in jeans and 10/8 in tops. What height are you? I’m 5’7 and I’m worried a 8 will be too short? What do you think? Xx
Heya! Ahh it’s really hard to know I’m afraid I was lucky enough to try most of these on unless you know someone who you can ask to borrow? I’m 5,4 if that helps at all size 10 in all clothes. So size wise you’ll probably go for 8 aswell x
Is your furnace a 4:3? also my girlfriend is size 8 in tops, size 10 jeans, 5'7" ..could you recommend which size I should look at ordering based on the down sizing you recommended
Furance is a 3:2, I always go down in a billabong. Womens UK size 10 in clothes, but size 8 in Billabong wetsuits. I would probably say the same given she is smaller on the top than me! Hope that helps :)
@@KathrynChalk thanks for your reply, weirdly we had just ordered it right before you replied. I got her a 10 after doing some measuring! got a 4:3 furnace synergy mermaid from surfdome for £150 👍 came today and fits perfect all over🤞🤞 thanks for the help
How do you become an influencer. For example, you said Billabong sent you the wesuit. I surf and think it would be so cool to post reviews of things like wetsuits and be sent wetsuits. Do you email the company asking for them to send a wetsuit to review?
Selenium Gold hello, ah you need a good following, niche audience from your social media channel and a genuine love for a brand. They all reached out to me from my surf forecast days, very very proud and in shock. But I love them and have an audience who surf so it fitted the bill. You can reach out and there’s many ways to do so online :) hope that helps x
I am looking to get a ripcurl full length wetsuit, I typically wear a size small (4-6) in UA, Nike, Lulu, American Eagle, francescas, etc. I looked at some reviews that say to get a size 8 or 10 but what do you think? I prefer fitted over loose.
If you can, I would suggest trying on before you buy just to be sure at a local surf shop. You'll want your wetsuit tight so no water can get in, but not tight that it'll cut off circulation of course! I haven't owned a Ripcurl suit so not sure how they compare, really hard to say I'm afraid - gut says the smaller option... Hope you find a good fit! xo
To keep warm! The different thickness depend on the sea temperature - and in the U.K that's pretty cold most of the time. Hopefully you can learn soon!
Enjoy! P.s I hope you like the editing too... I'm learning! lotsa love sunshines xox
@Malik Callum yup, have been using Instaflixxer for months myself :)
You are my favorite Kat's southwest
You look so good in wetsuits! My gosh, I'm jealous! And you are right the 5/4 one looks the best!
Haha thank you very much! Been a while since I’ve been in them mind...
I have never been more thankful for living in Australia than hearing the words "summer suit" to describe a 3/2 fullsuit
😂😂

Love this Gal britt surfing
Tyler Minnaar haha thanks Tyler!

Haha you don’t! A winter and summer would do if you live in the U.K. 👍🏼

ou

lils xox awh thanks lovely, my Billabong winter suit was around £150 well spent!!

What size are you wearing at 3:27 and the black wetsuit? In UK
Hope the Gul suit is yer secret fave, I design for Gul.
Ah amazing!! Haha tbh it is still a favourite, but love my chest zip on the others!
Hi thanks for the wetsuit info! Do you mean your size 8 in US?
Hey no it’s Euro size 8. US 4
For the graphene wetsuit, does it have the graphene on front and back panels? Or just on the front panel? No pics on their website of inside of suits
Hello! Both :) I haven't been able to try it still so can't comment on it though! xx
Tip hang your wetsuit at the hips are hanging it on the neck stretches it out and doesn't hold its shape👍
Living in a climate myself where the water temperature varies between 3°C and 20°C, having 5 wetsuits doesn't seem like too many to me.

The Gul suit what size is it please???
ΜΠΟΥΜΠΑΛΟΥ ΜΑΡΙΑ UK size 10 x
Do you enjoy snorkeling as well as scuba diving?
I've never been scuba diving I'm afraid!! Must be amazing though :)
Give scuba a try sometime.
What are you wearing underneath the wetsuit? :)
Bikini!
@@KathrynChalk Ok, thanks 😂
am i supposed to wear bikini bottoms under the springsuit?
Whatever your comfortable in tbh! Just a thin light one if you really wanted to 😊

So many to choose from 0_0
Awh ha! Just need the small waves for it now!
Why do surfers wear wetsuits? I want to surf.... I live in the middle of nowhere tho

Kat's Surf Forecasts I never knew that! I want to learn but it’s to expensive....
