Surfing is a popular sport which originated in Hawaii. Both adults and kids enjoy this water sport and its overall physical health benefits.

Surfing is not as easy as it looks, though; but definitely worth learning the basics and techniques, so you can make the most of your surfing experience. Being a good swimmer is essential if you want to learn to surf and knowing life-saving measures is also crucial in conquering the waves and staying safe in the open sea.

Aside from taking some surfing lessons, prepping the proper wetsuits, surfboard gear and accessories is also a must to ensure your safety, protection and comfort.

Below are a few tips to help you find the right surf gear, accessories and attire:

• You will find a wide range of surfing accessories to keep you and your gear protected and safe. These items also help improve performance while you're out there. Make sure to stock up on ear plugs, ding repair, sun cream and wetsuit repair since these are either often used or consumed and need to be replenished after a while.
• Other accessories that make surfing life easier include roof racks, snorkelling gear, surf hats, towels/ponchos, wet/dry bags, change mats, wetsuit boots, wetsuit gloves and wetsuit hoods/caps. Also, don't forget to bring extra fins, leashes, wax. These items are necessary especially if you are surfing and traveling to various locations to surf.
• Wetsuits for men, women, kids and toddlers have different characteristics, features and thickness. All wetsuits are designed to protect the wearer from freezing cold waters while ripping. Scratches, bumps and possible skin irritation can also be minimised by wearing proper wetsuit.
  Remember that the water temperature is one indication of which type of wetsuit to wear while surfing. Full wetsuits for men, women and children are essential as life-saving wear while shredding the icy cold waters on specific surfing locations and during the winter months.
  Warm waters in the summer and spring seasons call for lighter surfing attire such as rash vests, short/spring wetsuits, and wetsuit tops/jackets for men, women and children.
• Before you hit the beach and prepare to paddle out, you need to get kitted out with the right surfing gear and attire so you can perform better and make your whole surfing experience easier and fun. Make sure to also invest on board bags, tail pads/deck grips, and camera accessories especially if you are an avid traveller and surfer.
