And, here are the best wetsuits in the world! Lovingly photographed, worn by some of your favourite surfers and garnished with fruit. And, accompanied by every tip you might need to ensure your new rubber lives a long and happy life, as told by those who really know. Now, just choose your flavour…

Noa Deane: “When you’re drying your wetsuit don’t hang it on a coat hanger like a shirt. When they’re wet they can get damn heavy and they’ll stretch out the soft rubber around your shoulders. Hang it in half, through the middle. Oh, and if there’s some stitching coming undone, don’t pull it like a sucker. Cut that shit, otherwise it’ll unravel the whole seam. I learned that the hard way.”
