When you’re rigging up on a gusty South Coast morning, the last thing you want to be thinking about is your gear. You want to be thinking about the swell window or that new trick you’re working on. At Infinity Sport Kitesurfing, we’ve seen every type of kiter come through our doors at Greatstone. From the “winter warriors” who never miss a North Sea gale to the summer cruisers, everyone asks the same thing: “What suit should I actually buy?” Here is the honest, rider-to-rider breakdown on how to navigate the rack, including the critical decision on thickness.

People ask what is Kitesurfing? Kitesurfing is a beautiful nature friendly activity. It’s a recreational and competitive wind powered sport, where attached to your body kite pull across the water on a surfing board.

Wetsuits are the perfect piece of kit needed for a wide range of watersports. You don’t need to be a professional to buy a wetsuit and experience the benefits. Whether you’re wanting to surfing, kitesurfing or scuba diving, there are simply many reasons for needing a good quality wetsuit.

We all go a little stir crazy couped up at home for days or weeks on end, the darker mornings, too much time screen time and family can become claustrophobic after a while and leave us needing some quality time on the water.

Selecting the correct wetsuit size can be tough, especially for first time wetsuit buyers. Wetsuits fit tighter than clothing, and the wetsuit size will usually be one or two sizes bigger than clothing. Even a perfect fitting wetsuit will be a bit tough to get on and off; it has to be that way, since wetsuits work by trapping water between the suit and skin, creating an insulating layer of water warmed by body heat.
