As I am very fair skinned and aging; I am looking for skin coverage options. I see there are full lycra suits available and wonder if anyone has used these for surfing? (or similar). I would prefer a super light steamer, but they are hard to find in my size. (2XL). Adrenaline does a 'nudie' suit, but only in smaller sizes.

Wetsuit from BCF looks like good value.

Any feedback appreciated.

I see you are bordering Kiwi land , but try a custom. Get a quote from Joanne at JAM Wetsuits. Postage mightn't be too much.

Seventhwave also in NZ do a 1.5mm steamer, custom size or off the rack in behemoth sizes. Just checked, they list 4XL as their biggest non-custom.

Best option by far for sun protection.They look a bit gawky but for skin cancer protection the best option.
