yes.
go to a surf shop and try some on and get some info on them.
its hard to buy wetsuits online because you need to make sure they fit really well |

| yeah, just make sure its a thick suit. I went and got a 2/3 last summer when they were on sale and it helped me alot in the winter when I skimmed surfed and skated. you should look into a suit that is thick though, maybe a 3/4 full suit. |

I'm in NY (Long Island) and I surf in December with a 5/4/3- hooded, gloved and bootied. I'm pretty sure my water is colder though haha. My point- a 5/4/3 is awesome.

I've got a 3/2 and that gets me into the late fall then I've got a 6/5/4 with gloves and boots that takes me threw the rest of the season in Canada.
Anyways the 3/2 will get you through a SC winter no problem. |
