Neopren in April, Mai and June?
Do I need a Neoprene to Wind- or Kite-surf on the Qeensland coast between April and June?
If yes how thick you recommend, dose a shorty do the job or do you have any recommendations?
Thanks
I got a cheap 3/2 longsleeve, for all my sailing in the winter months in brisbane. I reckon i'll probably get a 3/2 shorty once this one wears out!
the most I have is a E-bomb springy, and even then I only wore it half a dozen times last year. Mostly boardies and a 1mm l/s top.
So I don't need to bring my Long legs, short sleeve Neoprene from Switzerland…
In the area from Mackay to Brisbane, I'm OK with boardies and a 1mm l/s top?
And I guess up north in the Port Douglas and Townswille area, a lycra also dose it, in this time of year (April, Mai and June)?
If you are a kite surfer, you will probably need a full steamer. Windsurfers a much tougher and boardies and a t shirt I'll do! : )
where are you visiting specifically? you won't need one in northern qld, your thinnest wetsuit would suit for around brisbane/sunshine coast.
also, that time of year especially may can be very light wind wise unless you head north.
Coming from Switzerland you'll probably be better off buying a portable Air conditioner to keep you cool .
PS - I'm on the Tropic of Capricorn (Yeppoon) and have an O'Neill Superlite John which I might only wear 4 or 5 times during our Winter months oops I mean month.
at that time of year if you are here purely to chase the wind then you might be better off staying in cairns.
may/june in brisbane is typically not that windy in brisbane. green island out from cairns is very good typically at that time of year.
it's only a suggestion but you may be better off starting south and heading north.
don't forget to look into whether you need a stinger suit or not for april/may
