If i wasn't wind foiling my days would cut down 2/3 if I just finned. Fin rules all..windfoiling for light to about 20kts. However this season I will be trying wingfoiling. And if I like it.I can see myself dumping windfoil gear. it's the amount of gear that pisses my off with with windsurfing.. So winging instead of wind foiling is appealing.
SurferKris said.. I have C-skins wired, 6:5 with integrated hood, and it is the warmest wetsuit (or rather a semi-dry) that I have ever had. It is my first suit with integrated hoody, and I really like it. There is much less water pooring down the neck when sailing in waves. Have been using it down to -3 C (air-temp) and it works great.
It doesn't pull more on the jaws than the hooded shorty I used to use under a regular wetsuit. The hood is also thicker and warmer than separate hood or hooded shorty is. Guess you can sail with the hood off, you want to, but I usually change down to a 5/4 without hood when the wether permits.
does anyone know of a company/brand that makes a 6/5 or 6/4 mm wetsuit that does NOT have a hood attached ? I cant seem to find any. I am not against hoods...I just dont like when the hood is tight around my face (my jaw is closed shut and its annoying unlike my ratty old neilpryde hood)
if there aren't any. can you sail with the hood flopping around in the back? does it fill with water . maybe cut some drain hole if they dont have any?
