Re: Surfs Up!

howzit,
the biggest difference that I know of is the density of the neoprene differs between dive/ freedive suits and surf suits. The less dense surf suit will compress at depth far more than a dive suit with two results. The first is that it won't be as warm, and the second is that after a while the suit will eventually become permenantly compressed, killing it for the surf sessions as well. Short answer- cheaper =low life expentancy
