——– THE COLD WAR ———

Going out and playing in the sea in January doesn’t sound like a sensible thing to do. But thanks to the wonders of modern wetsuit technology it’s a breeze. Get a good suit that fits you well and you’ll be sat out back marvelling at how toasty warm you are. Here ARE the best of the bunch for the 2017/18 winter season.

—– WETSUIT WISDOM —–

There’s no excuse to not surf right through winter. Wetsuits are so tech these days that getting cold is not an option. Here are a few pointers…

1. SUITS YOU SIR! It sounds obvious but getting a wetsuit that fits you is your main priority. Too loose and you’ll get flushed with cold Atlantic brine and do some top notch swearing. Too tight and you’ll go purple. There are plenty of tall/short options so whatever your shape there’s a suit for you somewhere. Getting it on and off shouldn’t be a long process. So figure out what entry works for you be it back zip, chest or zipperless. Be aware that one brands ‘Medium’ isn’t the same size as another, so support your local shop and try on the suits that fit your budget and needs to get the perfect match.

2. GET THE RIGHT SUIT Do you surf for three hours or one? Do you tend to sit and chat a lot or are you windmilling around the line up maxing your wave count? A 6mm hooded suit might be too hot for a frother so there’s always the 5mm and separate hood to consider.

3. ACCESSORISE A good suit is the foundation of your winter armour but don’t stint on the bits and bobs. Good gloves and boots finish off your get up. You get what you pay for and again fit is key.

4. REPLACE? RENEW? REPAIR? If you need a new suit fair enough, but check out your old one. Could it be repaired and used as a second suit? Quality wetsuit repairs are amazingly cheap and well worth the effort and a back winter suit is always a good idea so one is always vaguely dry.

5. SURF SMART Your wetsuit is your defence in the cold war but in any war it’s winning the little battles that count. Rinse and dry your suit, on a proper hanger, nowt worse than a frosty suit. Use changing mats/Dry Robes to keep you warm before you jump in. A flask of hot beverage will get you internally heated between sessions. For frosty suits a gallon container of hot water chucked in your wetsuit bucket can warm it a bit en route then you can pour it over at beach for a toasty change. Commit to a session, don’t ‘umm’ and ‘aah’ for twenty minutes losing vital temp and froth levels.

Watch: Alex Knost, Jack Lynch, and Alrik Yuill in a classic Baja shuffle

An escape into SoCal"s favorite fever dream

Time has clicked to a slow roll on the Southern California coastline after a lamentably flat summer. Rarely is the song of Central Baja so enticing — the call for empty pointbreaks, a schedule as wide-open as the dirt roads cooked dry by the sun. Earlier in the season, Alex Knost called SURFER Photo Editor Grant Ellis and proposed a surf trip through Baja with Australian Jack Lynch and Costa Mesa artist Alrik Yuill. What started as a three-day journey stretched into a week, as the crew left the asphalt asphyxiation of Orange County for marathon sessions on alternative craft. And it wasn’t just sleepy groveling, either.

“We got decently rippable surf because of the swell we were chasing,” says Ellis. “There were some sessions where we got good turns in, and it was uncrowded. You"re looking at Lowers-type sets with no one out. That"s the beauty of Baja: being able to tap into that solo experience. Three-hour surfs with absolutely no one in the water. It doesn"t get any better than that.”

“Pretty much any downtime Alex has, he gets in his van and he heads down to Baja,” says Ellis. “He"s pretty frothy about being down there and camping. He loves it.”

“In Mexico, you can choose what kind of trip you"re seeking out. You could chase these giant north swells and big barrels, or you can chase souths for pointbreak, good-for-the-everyman kind of surf.”

“It"s always fun to watch those guys ride their boards, when the bulk of what we digitally consume is through the shortboard. The conditions were relatively challenging, but watching them navigate flat sections, piloting into the little bowls, knowing how hard it is to stylistically time it right – that was a highlight for me. Everything"s working. You can see how talented they are at that.”

“They buy these vans for super cheap, ride them until they break down, hitch a ride from whomever, and then buy another one. But there are no facelifts to the van. They leave them the way they find them, which means no AC [Laughs]. So we were driving through Baja in this extreme heat, inside this tin can, boiling.”

“Alex was riding these 7"0"-range Barry Kanaiaupuni-style boards, but with bonzer bottoms. He was straight ripping on one of them, doing amazing turns.”

“The first time I met Alex was when he was 15 years old in Cabo at the Longboard World Championships, and he was the same dude then as he is now. Nothing"s changed. He"s been doing this for a long time, and he"s really intelligent and is always engaged in whatever he talks about. It"s one of the reasons why he"s been so successful.”

“It"s a side of surfing that, in the everyday SoCal pro shredding culture, we kind of forget about. We"re getting fed so much of that high-performance image all the time, it’s refreshing to see this crew’s style, and it done so well.”

“The whole group is all about unique board designs. It"s one of the things I like about these guys – they"re going for a different experience.”

“I"ve been that far south in Baja a few times, and every trip, it"s just an amazing experience. If I could go every week, I would go.”
