If, like me, you surf in the Atlantic Ocean cold waters all year long, you realize how important is a good wetsuit to keep you warm and comfortable.

If you surf a lot and you want your wetsuit to last longer you should know how to protect it properly.

First of all after each session you should rinse it in fresh water, then drip it, dry it and store it until the next time. Sure it’s the last thing you want to do after a few hours of paddling but don’t be lazy.

That’s what you should do, what you shouldn’t do is to hang your wetsuit with a shoulder type hanger when it´s dripping wet nor store it hanging on it for long time. Wetsuits, especially when they are wet tend to be heavy and the weight of a wetsuit can damage the seams and permanently deform the thinner neoprene parts.

There is a solution to this problem and it’s called HangGoose® It is a beautifully designed, practical, handcrafted, wooden wetsuit hanger built out of long lasting, sustainably grown teak.

It ‘s simple; you hang your wetsuit from the waist so it dries faster. The water doesn’t have drip all the way from the shoulders to toes.

You can hang your wetsuit, booties and gloves easily and at the same time so you won’t have to search for everything before the next session. The reach of the hanger is big enough so you can hang it virtually everywhere, on tree benches, shower heads, rain gutters, door trim. It’s so practical!

The HangGoose folds so it doesn’t occupy too much space and can be easily transported from place to place. Just grab it and go. The open arm makes hanging quick. The HangGoose will make your wetsuit last longer and keep it in better shape and your booties can get aired out. When you’re ready to go surf again, so are your gloves, booties, and wetsuit. Your gear is all together so just grab it and go surfing!

The good people from HangGoose had offered us a few hangers for our lucky readers. All you need to do is drop us a short message with your name, your email and your address so we know where to send you the prize. Don’t waste your time and participate now!!!
