Matuse My preferred brand of wetsuit is Matuse, their attention to detail and quality surpasses all the other brands. I am a huge fan of the brand and in my home we only surf with Matuse suits. I am super happy and excited to see the women's line of spring suits, rashguards and vests. These new models bring function and style to a new level. Some of these models were design by Alexandra Cassiniti, who owns a great line of clothing and accessories. I bought one of her spring suit a couple of years ago since Matuse didn't have one back then. I am happy to see that my two favorite surf brands are getting together to create the most functional and feminine wetsuits in the industry. To view the entire collection, click here....
Seea This summer has been amazing and surfing has been super fun, I can't complain. The water has been perfectly warm most of the time and the waves the perfect size for me. I am a fan of spring suits and lately more and more companies are launching more feminine and sexier spring suits for women. I came across Seea while looking at women's wet suits online and I am really into them. I love the color blocking and the cut of these suits. These suits will stand out on the lineup at the beach and give you extra girl power on the waves. I am undecided but I am pretty sure one of these will be in my closet this fall.

Get it Wetsi Living in beautiful southern California lets me try out all those watersports that I didn't try in Rochester, Boston and NYC. As soon as I moved here three years ago I grabbed a surf board and started to learn on my own. I LOVE surfing but if it wasn't for the putting on and taking off the wetsuit process being so hard and draining I would do it every day, why is it so hard to deal with the wetsuit? Lucky for me and you ladies! I found Wetsi, which solves exactly that problem, this is a line of water sports gear that is functional, comfortable and easy to put on and off. The line includes capri pants, tops, shorts and jackets and everything is made in the USA. Their pants and jacket are in my list for the summer, I can't wait to wear these in the water.
