The Sooruz Guru Wind 5/4 in Black is Sooruz's most performing wetsuit for wind sports — purpose-built for wing-foiling, kitesurfing, and windsurfing rather than adapted from a surf wetsuit. Wind-specific features (velcro ankles, water vents on the calves, anti-tetanus forearm cut, Black Diamond protective outer texture) combine with Sooruz's flagship Örganic Oysterprene Ö8 neoprene and Storm Dry thermal lining. For paddlers who do most of their sessions out of the water, this is the suit that's been engineered for what you actually do.

Key features

• Örganic Oysterprene Ö8 neoprene — Sooruz's newest premium eco-foam, made from natural rubber and oyster shells. USDA certified with 63% organic content. Top-tier flex and warmth.
• Black Diamond outer texture — protective layer that handles the contact and abrasion of wind sports (board straps, harness, rig contact).
• Wind-specific design features:
  • Velcro ankles — keeps board spray and water out around the ankles (critical for kitesurfers and windsurfers)
  • Water vents on the calves — drains water that does get in, fast
  • Anti-tetanus cut on the forearms — generous cut for paddle/rig flexibility, reduces forearm fatigue
  • Thermofused sleeve ends and back-of-knees — extra flex without sacrificing seal
• Storm Dry inner lining — on upper thighs, abdomen, and back. Recycled polyester, quick-drying, warm.
• GBS seams (Glued and Blind Stitched) reinforced internally with ultra-soft neoprene strips
• Front-zip closure — better water-seal than back-zip across long sessions
• 5/4mm thickness — 5mm body, 4mm arms (note: slightly less flex than the 5/4/3 Guru Pro because the wind-sport build prioritises durability)

Men's Sizing

Women's Sizing

Size chart based on the current Sooruz pattern. Older year codes (E22, H22, H23 etc.) used very similar sizing but cut and stretch may vary slightly — Sooruz sizes typically run slim through the chest, so if you're between sizes, sizing up is usually the right call. For sizing advice, call us on 01492 588001.

When to wear

• 3/2mm — UK water temperatures roughly 12-18°C. Spring, summer, autumn for most users.
• 4/3mm — UK water temperatures roughly 9-13°C. Spring and autumn around the UK; winter for warmer-water users.
• 5/4mm / 5/4/3mm — UK water temperatures roughly 6-10°C. UK winter standard for most surfers, SUP paddlers, and swimmers.
• 6/5/4mm — UK water temperatures below 7°C. Hardcore winter use.
• 2/2mm — UK water temperatures above 16°C (mid-summer only). For shorties, springsuits, zip-free tops.

About Sooruz

Sooruz is a French watersports brand founded in 1999 in La Rochelle, building wetsuits and accessories designed by riders for riders. The brand's founders were serious windsurfers, and their athlete team includes top wind-sport names like Tom Traversa and the Dunkerbecks. Innovation and environmental responsibility sit at the core — Sooruz pioneered Oysterprene® neoprene (made using recycled oyster shells and bio-based components), alongside recycled fabrics, water-based glues, and circular initiatives for used wetsuits.

The Guru Wind is Sooruz's flagship wind-specific wetsuit — built to handle the demands of wing-foiling, kitesurfing, and windsurfing. It's NOT a surf wetsuit. The Guru Pro is the equivalent flex/warmth in a surf-focused build; the Guru+ is the warmth-focused step up. Each is purpose-built for its discipline.

Honest advice from us

The Guru Wind is a specialist wetsuit — purpose-built for wind sports, not a general-use suit with wind features added. If most of your sessions are wing-foiling, kitesurfing, or windsurfing where you spend significant time on the board (rather than in the water), this suit's wind-specific design (velcro ankles, calf vents, Black Diamond outer texture) is genuinely meaningful. The forearm cut helps with rig handling and reduces fatigue. For pure surfing or SUP, the standard Guru Pro 5/4/3 offers slightly more flex due to its 5/4/3 (vs 5/4) construction — that's the trade-off Sooruz makes for the wind-specific durability. Sooruz sizes run slim through the chest. 01492 588001 for sizing.
