When the water gets to cold for just your wetsuit, it is time to put on some surfing gloves and booties. They’ll keep your hands and feet warm, and keep you in the water surfing for as long as possible in the cooler months. Gloves come in all different types. There are mitten type gloves, three finger, and five finger varieties. They also come in all different thicknesses depending on the temperature you’re going to be braving. The fingerless gloves offer more warmth because the fingers are all together, improving heat retention, but sacrifice the ability to use your fingers and grab things. Boots (or Booties) come in round toe and split toe varieties. The two toe adds a bit more stability and your foot is less likely to slide within the booty. Like glove, booties come in different thicknesses.
