Look after your wetsuit and gear and it’ll look after you.
Your wetsuit and accessories are essential – especially if you live and ride in a cold water environment which many of us do. As we head for those New Year watersports sessions the sea and air will be at their coldest. This shouldn’t put you off though.

With Exit’s awesome XRail wetsuit hanger, you’ll be primed to dry your suit efficiently and quickly whilst ensuring it doesn’t become damaged.

As far as New Year watersports resolutions go, getting hold of an XRail is right up there.
Protect yourself more in the water.
Whatever your chosen watersport, the element of time plays a part. Getting out more and spending more time riding is key. But you need to protect yourself against the elements. A wetsuit, boots, and gloves are a start but there’s more you can do to get out and live.

Keep it tidy and moisture-free.
Having wet gear lying in a pile, potentially soaking dry kit, isn’t motivational for getting amongst it. As New Year watersports resolutions are concerned, making sure all your equipment, and water wear, is tidy and dry will inspire you to head to the beach and rig up.

The Exit BUX wetsuit change bucket is a versatile bit of kit that all watersports enthusiasts shouldn’t be without. Using it for its intended purpose – getting changed at the beach – certainly makes it a worthwhile purchase. But then there’s the option of storing and transporting your kit – dry and wet – to help keep everything neat and tidy.
Get out and live – ride more!
Making sure all your kit is in good working order will help you tick off an essential New Year watersports resolution: ride more! Scoring sessions are something we all want. There’s nothing more depressing than missing out when conditions are good. So make 2025 the year you get out and live to the max!
Armed with Exit watersports accessories – some of which have already been mentioned above – you’ll be poised to make the most of every window of opportunity you get. Prior preparation is essential – especially during the off-season. A dry wetsuit, for instance, aired well in advance of your planned strike mission will ensure you get it in the bag. And with that comes stoke and fulfilment which can’t be sniffed at.
