New ebook 'How to be happy in cold water' runs hot

(PR.co.nz) Water sport enthusiasts everywhere will be excited to know
that pursuing their passion has just got easier. Seventhwave Wetsuits,
an ever informative company based in Christchurch, New Zealand, have
just published an ebook outlining all the ways to be happy in cold
water.

Written to assist those whose struggle with the disadvantages of
cooler waters, or those who feel cold in any waters, the 25 page
ebook, 'How to be happy in cold water: Wetsuit information guide',
contains useful tips and techniques to maximize their water time and
warmth. Covering the construction and materials of different wetsuits,
custom versus off the rack fittings, choosing the right accessories,
and staying warm after your session, 'How to be happy in cold water'
shares tried-and-true winter rituals to make winter surfing less
painful.

"We're excited about the release of our first ebook," says Paul
Zarifeh from Seventhwave. "After 25 years of providing wetsuit
solutions in the coldest of waters, it's fantastic to be able to boil
down all that knowledge into one accessible ebook." Zarifeh believes
water sport enthusiasts don't have to be hardy to enjoy cold water,
they just need to be armed with the right knowledge. "We know that
some of the best conditions for stoke often take place in cooler
waters, so we designed the ebook to ensure anyone can benefit from the
experiences explained in it," notes Zarifeh.

For example, factors that can that determine how cold the water is for
you include wind and weather conditions on the day, and your own
physical condition or stamina. The human body operates best at 37ºC
(98ºF) and if it gets any lower than this then you'd best prepare for
mild hyperthermia. The first signs are cold hands, feet and then
shivering. To prevent such cold-water blues, 'How to be happy in cold
water' signposts three major factors to consider for cold waters: the
type of neoprene used in a wetsuit (limestone or oil-based), the
construction method of the wetsuit (breathable or sealed seams), and
the most important factor, how well the wetsuit fits the wearer.

"From surfing and sailing, to kayaking, kiteboarding or canyoning,
this ebook will help participants make the right choices to stay warm
in their chosen passion," says Zarifeh.

The ebook is available as a free download from the Seventhwave website.
