Finding the right women’s wetsuit can make all the difference in your comfort, confidence, and performance in the water. At NALUKA, we design elegant, high-performance surfing suits that are not only made with the planet in mind but are also flattering and functional. Whether you’re surfing, swimming, or enjoying any ocean adventure, the cut of your wetsuit matters.
Here’s a guide to the different shapes and styles we offer so you can choose the best surfing wetsuit for your lifestyle.
1. Long Jane
The Long Jane wetsuit is a timeless favorite for women who want full leg coverage with maximum arm freedom.
• Why choose it?
• Added warmth thanks to full-length legs
• Protective knee patches make it perfect for surfing sessions with extra paddle-outs or when you’re climbing in and out of rocky breaks.
• Open shoulders allow complete freedom of movement—ideal for swimming, paddling, and warmer-weather surfs.
The Long Jane balances warmth, flexibility, and style, making it a go-to swimming wetsuit and surf essential.
2. Springsuit
The classic springsuit is designed with long arms and no legs, offering a stylish in-between option when a full suit is too much.
• Why choose it?
• Long sleeves protect your skin from sun and wind.
• No legs means cooler comfort on warmer days.
• Great balance of sun protection and breathability.
We also offer two different cut options in the bottom:
• Cheeky Cut – a flattering, feminine shape that allows for greater freedom of movement. Perfect if you like a minimal look.
• Boyleg Cut – a little more coverage and security for when you want to feel tucked in and confident during powerful surf sessions.
All our springsuits feature rubber-lined seams around the openings, keeping your suit in place without slipping.
3. Wetsuit Shorts
For days when you want just a little coverage, surfing shorts are your best friend.
• Lightweight, stretchy, and flattering.
• Great for pairing with a wetsuit top or bikini.
• Added comfort when sitting on your board, with no ride-up thanks to our secure seam design with the rubber lining
• Our bottoms have been through 5 sampling rounds making sure they will not gape in the water!
4. Wetsuit Tops & Rashguards
Our wetsuit tops (also called surf tops or rashguards) are a versatile addition to any surf wardrobe.
• Perfect for layering with shorts, bikini bottoms, or over a Long Jane.
• Extra warmth around the core without overheating.
• Sleek and minimal, doubling as stylish swimwear.
• Many brands offer more coverage options with long arms here as well, which we have in development
5. Wetsuit Jacket
When you want warmth with flexibility, the wetsuit jacket is the answer.
• Easy on, easy off with the front zip.
• Great for layering—wear it over a Long Jane or with surfing shorts.
• Stylish, functional, and designed to stay put with rubber-sealed seams.

Choosing Your Wetsuit
When selecting your surfing suit, think about:
• Water temperature – Long Jane for warmth, springsuit for mid-seasons.
• Activity – Rashguards and jackets for layering, shorts for flexibility.
• Fit preference – Cheeky cut for minimal coverage, boyleg for more support.
