All three of these add-ons will keep your extremities warm, just like a wetsuit keeps your core warm. Surf Wax or Traction Pads. Surfboards are slick and they are even more slippery once they get wet.
This works well for gliding across the water, but it also makes it hard to keep your grip on the surface. That's why surfers wax the topside of their boards. Surf wax provides an area of grip for the feet so you don't slip right off. You can also use traction pads for the same effect. When buying wax, make sure it's made for the conditions you'll be in, particularly the water temperature. If you're buying the wax local to where you'll be surfing they should have the right kind in stock. If you're buying online, check the water temperature rating.Leg Ropes or Leashes. Leg ropes are for your own safety as well as others. These straps attach to the back end of the surfboard at one end, and to your back ankle on the other end.
This keeps the board with you when you fall off instead of hitting other surfers or floating away. Leashes come in various diameters and lengths. For beginners, it's safe to choose one that is about 1-2 feet longer than the length of your board.That's it! Just a few pieces of equipment and you can get safely started with your new hobby.
