Guys in born bred in WA heading to bells beach And other south Vic breaks in three weeks. bloods to thin so need some gloves. Any recommendations and where to purchase. no probs with online. hey anyone still use the old webbed gloves ? Same with these as well. Found a great site for wetsuites from this forum arrived Friday thanks for that guys.

Rip curl....make sure they are tight or they fill with water....TBH I would get a hood and booties before gloves....

Yeh prob right - got the booties. Hood hey - any kind? I was actually kiting the other day and my hands nearly fell off! But the cold southern waters of bells, probably need a hood.

I use ONeil Psycho 1.5 gloves. Was out for 3 hrs today off Ocean Grove in the small messy slop and while it was cool, my hands stayed reasonably warm. Toes eventually went numb even though I was wearing Oneil boots. May have to look at a new pair.

Never even considered using gloves while surfing, but I can see webbed gloves being handy (cheating?) when you're trying to paddle for big waves at Mainbreak in winter

Never used them as I always thought they'd feel weird. Do your hands ever slip off the rails when jumping up to your feet?

Ripcurl for hoods and booties as well...fireskin!!! hands of never slipped of while usuing gloves

I used them often when younger. Never slipped and worked well. A bit weird and you obvously cant pick your nose too well with them. I'd like a pair that had the fingers open still. Not for picking but just would be a bit more natural. IMHO

who makes webbed gloves? Can't seem to find any.

After a very cold surf on Tuesday have just ordered some online. Ebay actually and ony $35.

Now just need some booties. Have never ever surfed with booties and idea seems too far fetched but it was bloody cold..
