First things first, never leave your wetsuit out in the sun to dry. It'll turn into a crispy, shrunken shell of its former self.
When you're done surfing , give your wetsuit a good rinse with fresh water to get rid of all the salt, sand, and seaweed. Then, lay it out flat to dry in the shade.
But don't just let it sit there like a lump of rubber. Give it a little pleasure by stretching out the arms, legs, and torso to help it retain its shape. And if you're feeling extra fancy, you can even give it a massage to help release any trapped air bubbles.
When it comes to storage, never fold or roll your wetsuit. Instead, hang it up in a cool, dry place. And if you're really concerned about keeping it in tip-top shape, you can even invest in a wetsuit bag or hanger.
Just remember, your wetsuit is like a trusty steed that carries you through the waves. Treat it with respect and it'll last you a lifetime. Or at least a few seasons. Happy surfing!
