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!

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.

Optimal would be a snug fit. Suit is not intended top completely limit movement or access to hands, but to muffle movement and provide as safe secure feeling.

Depending on your weight, yes. This isn't really an issue if you want a flexy board, there's no way to prevent it except for buying a stiffer board.

I use them for a toasty swim in 62 degree water very thick. I would guess yes re lobster catching ie enough padding

The Suit can be used in cold weather in the water however I did find it difficult to get my shoulders inside of the suits perhaps since you're getting an extra large it'll be easier however the fact that she had a stroke may make it even more difficult that maybe something you want to consider. it's very difficult getting your shoulders in and especially out.

There's a little bit of upward flex, but I wouldn't expect enough to meet the "V" needs you describe. You'd really have to cinch your straps down to achieve that, and it would probably deform your kayak as well.

Probably. If you are being towed or using any kind of rope I'd recommend. If you are sail surfing, not sure. Have fun!

Yes. The longer and wider and thicker the better for a beginner due to the stability it brings. Its perfect for flat waters. Hope it helped. Rgds

It should be fine. Mine has some wiggle room in the middle for clothes and rash guards. That is a THICK board! Standup paddle?

I wore it in the ocean. It's a nice suit. Snorkle three times last week in it. Good bang for your buck.

No. The water will ask through like a thin wetsuit. It is useful so you don't chafe if surfing or as sun protection on a dive boat or while swimming.

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.

Well, I'm not an advanced swimmer, so I'm not entirely sure, but the shirt is lightweight and the material is good - like a compression shirt, but not thick. I think you could swim laps in it, as surfers wear these when wading out into the ocean. It makes for a good athletic shirt, as well, as I even wore this in the class before my swim class to run a mile for a test. I didn't overheat, and it felt cool and my arms could move freely as I ran.

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

It needs to fit perfect also in the pants because in the water it will be a problem if you have water inside the suit you'll be carrying more weight. I first used one of a friend for an olympic triathlon, that is my same size and was perfect for me . That why I decide to by one.

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.
