Is this suit flexible enough to surf in? I need flexiblity in the arms for paddling.

I use it for surfing only, good suit at a good value. Size may run on the small side.

I feel like it would be flexible enough to surf in...I didn't feel particularly restricted while swimming or snorkeling. I also wore the suit all day on the boat and didn't have any problems. It was a great buy!

I kayak in mine. Had to wear a couple times to work in the fit, but i really like it especially for the price. Just get right size,

Yes its very flexible and a great suit for the money. I would get one size larger than you might normally order.

Yes, I bought it for that purpose specifically. Suit offers good flexibility; I wouldn't buy anything greater than 3mm for surfing.Hope this helps!

flexible, it isn't too restrictive either. Every now and then then you get sweaty it might pull a lil bit if it catches a spot on your neck but overall they are great.

It needs to fit perfect also in the pants because in the water it will be a problem if you have water inside the suit you'll be carrying more weight. I first used one of a friend for an olympic triathlon, that is my same size and was perfect for me . That why I decide to by one.

Peter, as long as the bag is intended for an 8 foot board, it should be okay. I would contact the guys at Curve, and ask them first, if you are feeling uncertain about this though. Contact the seller here on Amazon or Curve also has a web site. The company is run by surfers, not suits, so feel comfortable asking them real surfer questions! I own two of their bags and am happy with 'em both.

No, it is very thin and would be perfect. If you are wearing it as a T-shirt, then follow the recommendation of many reviewers and order it 2 sizes too big and you will get a snug-looking fit without the snug-feeling. If you want to wear it in the surf -- strong ocean waves -- then follow the manufacturer's size chart and order your correct size for a very tight compression fit.

Yow! That could be coooold! I would maybe look at a 4 or 5 mm thickness suit, that said, this is so cheap and if you get it on prime with free returns... Anyway, I'd guess Medium so you're not wrestling too much to get it on. It does need to be fairly tight and in contact with the skin to work properly, mine has a spot in the small of my back that doesn't contact so it makes a cold spot, which seems to be typical of low-cost wetsuits, but at this price I can't complain too much.

There should be little to no bending involved, depending on your arm length. I'm 6' and fit perfectly fine

Absolutely. I took it snorkeling and body surfing. I think it might be tough to paddle with this in one of your hands (there are mounts for your board, btw) but I'm sure it will handle surfing.

I used it for body surfing and it worked great. Boogie boarding, not so good, being you need two hands. I've also used it for anything I want to point and shoot. It floats great, and is comfy to use. I get a lot better video if I turn the camera around to view myself while I'm doing activities too. It's not as shaky...

No its probably way too thin for that. I just use it for kayaking in California during the fall and winter months its perfect for me but you likely need a 5/4 at least. Hope this helps out some

I would say it's pretty flexible. I used it on the arm of a 5 yr old without a problem.

You might be able to my son used it for surf.. Maybe a longer one for standup Paddleboard

It is a wet suit not a dry suit so you will still get wet. I am not sure how flexible it is for "real" swimming. We used them to basically float around while snorkeling, for which they worked great and kept us warm.

Its pretty light for a aluminum paddle. The head of the paddle however is slightly flexible so I would not suggest using it for any kind of hard paddling such as surfing or racing. Its a good paddle for flat water cruising for the price however!

I wear mine for kayaking and getting in the water with temperatures in the low 40's. I live in VA. I love the suit, just takes time to break it in with the right fit. You might be able got with a 3mm and 2mm sleeves. For the price I could not beat it.I hope this helped.

I have not yet used this suit. I did inspect it upon my receipt of it and the material feels plastic-y and resilient. Any Tyvek suit is going to be challenged by exposure to soil, rocks, snags, etc. Be careful with it and you should be fine.

Yes! This would definitely be a better (and lighter) choice for a triathlon, rather than a wetsuit! Good luck!
