You notice the air temperature drop while waxing your board on the beach. Stiff fingers and numb toes usually cut a session short, so having the right layer makes a difference. Thick neoprene hoods keep the heat in during duck dives, and fleece linings feel dry even after a few hours in the lineup. These items keep you comfortable when the wind picks up or the morning swell hits.
