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!

The jacket is very flexible. I would still order the next size up. It will fit well but wont be restricting. I used mine for jet sking not fully submerged in the water. I dont like when something feels like it is choking you. Hope this helped.

I am 140ish pounds and 69 inches tall, and a Medium was a little snug. The problem I had with this wet suit was the neck was TOO tight, but I am a scuba diver, not a surfer. I would recommend that you use a bath towel rolled up and stuffed into the neck to stretch it some.

I didn't have anything break. The whole system does not feel right. I returned my fins right away, stick with DUCK FEET. You will never go wrong with Duck Feet, that is if you are a Body Surfer.

It has some flex, but is rigid enough for penetration and stroking. Not as soft as CyberSkin, but not a hard plastic either. There are a couple of YouTube videos that may be helpful to view.

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.

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

Fins are practical with the Skagit. It will be a little awkward because you're seated a little higher but I usually have my feet in the water when I'm not moving around.

Definitely. It's comfortable, stable, rigid and easy .We had two people in it and only one could paddle - no problem

oh yes i is quite flexable and you can bend all you want with it. I use it for bowling, and i do alot of bending in that sport.

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.

I gave it to my son and he will use it surfing. I am sure it would work sking

Yes, I use mine equally as much for diving and surfing. I am a tech diver and have used this suit in a variety of water conditions, ocean, bays, and river. I must have used this suit over 100 times last year between surfing and diving. It doesnt have any signs of breaking down on me at this point. It's great for the price. Hope this helpsbtw, I live in Florida and i wouldnt use this suit to dive in the winter. You may want something thicker depending on where you are.

Not at all. They are rather tight. It really is like a thicker second skin. My little one has no trouble at all. She actually loves the suit because it keeps her warm when we kayak cold mountain waters.

It's pretty wide and incredibly stable. However, it has only one fin and does not have the responsiveness of a surf board. I live on the Gulf and enjoy taking it out in the surf but it's not a surf board. It is a great board for any level paddle boarder.

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