Many children have an innate lack of fear, and that's why learning and progressing in surfing is much easier for a child than an adult. With Wetsuit Centre, you can be sure to discover a distinguished kids' winter wetsuit that can support your child's adventures in the water, no matter the season! The Autumn and Winter bring the best and biggest surfing conditions to the UK, and for Junior surfers looking to progress their ability, it is imperative they catch some waves in the colder months.

If your child is a true water baby ready to hit the waves regardless of the time of year, then you will want to ensure that they wear the correct size and thickness. An ill-fitting wetsuit will result in cold sea water continuously flushing through the suit and whipping away their body warmth. For advice on this topic, you can read through our kid's wetsuit fitting guide and reference your chosen wetsuit manufacturer's sizing guide to guarantee you get the right fit.
Wetsuit Centre has a collection of kids' wetsuits constructed of 5mm neoprene on the core and upper legs, which is suitable for wintertime use. A 5/3mm wetsuit like the Rip Curl Omega 5/3mm junior winter wetsuit would be a sound choice for most colder months. However, for the coldest month in the sea, which is January, February and March, a 5/4mm wetsuit with a build-in hood would be more appropriate.
To further protect your child from the biting cold of the UK winter seas, we suggest providing them with some wetsuit boots. Humans lose a substantial amount of body heat throughout our hands and feet, so it is important to insulate them properly if your child wants to surf in colder conditions. When surfing, bodyboarding or wakeboarding, you require using your hands to grip the board or handle; however, if your child isn't wearing wetsuit gloves, they risk losing mobility and therefore being unable to surf. We have a range of wetsuit gloves suitable for children and juniors.
The purpose of a rash vest is to protect the skin from uncomfortable and sore abrasions to the skin that can be caused by the wetsuit rubbing against the skin. Some rash vests are also designed with extra thermal protection in mind. Wetsuit Centre has a range of kid's thermal rash vests for sale, so you can add an extra layer of warmth to your child's water sports gear.
