It’s been mild the last few weeks here in the UK – relative to the time of year that is. Looking at forecasts into next week (beginning Feb 8), however, it appears thermometer readings are about to drop with moderate to strong E/NElies puffing across beaches. This means not only cold air temps but also additional wind chill bite!
With swell pulsing in the aforementioned wind angle can be good for Cornwall (as well as a few other spots dotted about the country) but you’ll need some protection against the elements. Fear not as NCW has the perfect rubber suit well up to the job in hand – as demonstrated/modelled by NCW team rider Dave Ludgate (aka Subowti).
Dave’s been testing various NCW wetsuit prototypes and being in Ireland, where the weather changes by the minute (sometimes), you can guarantee they’ve been rigorously tested. He finally received the updated 2021 Gulf Stream wetty a few days back.
We currently have stock , in both mens and women’s sizes, but they’re going quick so if you need a wetsuit update then get in touch.
