When we are in the water, we lose more than half of our body heat through our extremities (feet, hands, head).
Consequently, here are the recommended accessories:
- in warm water and temperate water (>63°F) => neoprene low booties.
- in cold water (54 - 63°F): High booties (boots) and gloves.
- in very cold water (45 - 54°F): High booties (boots), gloves, hood, and hooded top...

The 1st selection criterion when choosing a surf bootie is water temperature. Water temperature varies according to the location and the time of the year. Systematically make sure that the water temperature at your spot corresponds to the recommended temperature range: Warm water above 68°F. Temperate water between 63 and 72°F. Cold water between 54 and 63°F. Very cold water between 45 and 54°F. Visit the site seatemperature.org to find out the temperature of your spot.

Surfing shoes and booties should be a very tight fit to ensure the best possible thermal efficiency. It is perfectly normal for it to feel like they are too tight when tried on dry. Choosing well-fitting shoes and booties ensures a better fit and prevents them from swelling with water in use.

The 3 mm surf booties are made of neoprene to ensure better thermal comfort. The neoprene is lined with synthetic fabric for added resistance to wear.

Neoprene thickness: 3 mm. The neoprene is made from an elastomer foam with insulating properties.

We test and guarantee the thermal quality of our neoprene materials.

The seams are stitched and glued for a watertight seal and durability.
The seams are "blind-stitched": The thread does not go all the way through the neoprene, preventing water from getting through.
The absence of threads on the inside avoids irritation and chafing.
Patches for comfort and reinforcement are strategically placed on the inside in sensitive areas.

Our surf booties are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them compatible with other water sports such as kitesurfing, windsurfing, sea wading, or SUP (stand-up paddleboarding).

Our wetsuit models are also classified by water temperature range: Warm water, Temperate water, Cold water.
Our wetsuits are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers.
