Hi,
I'll be visiting Perth in November and wondering what kind of wetsuits you use if wetsuit is needed. Is it enough with a shorty? (2/2)

Cheers

Many will say some sort of wetsuit, I say boardies and rashie. Seabreezes are usually clear skies, 25 degrees air temp.

shortie if you have to.

Depends. I'm less than 60kg, freezing cold for me.

Road trip from Perth to Exmouth - are Reef Booties needed for kitesurfing the main spots?

Main spots, no.

Some of the less main spots, yes.

But there are not many others around so doesn't matter if you look like a knob!
