These work great! I hanged a 5ml wet suit and these dry it out fast! Highly recommend!

Awesome design. Works great, no need to flip the wetsuit before bed to make sure both sides dry. I use it along with a regular fan set on low and my suit is fully dry in the morning. Runs super quiet which is really nice as well. Already got a couple more as gifts for friends

I have experience purchasing and using both the Underwater Kinetics HangAir ($89 bucks) and the SURFDRY ($88 bucks) for drying surf wetsuits, and I can offer an experienced perspective on both.  The SURFDRY power transformer (transforms from A/C to USB-C) gave up the ghost during the first 24 hours of use. Fortunately one can typically find another power brick around the house or just purchase a better quality brick online. I found the SURFDRY provided USB-C cables to be just TOO short, and I am betting many users will simply purchase longer cables online. At least one longer cable is required to allow the user to hang this device anywhere more than 1-2 feet from an outlet.

I have used the SURFDRY on medium sized full suits and the housing fit well and stays put in both the arm and leg openings. However, I can NEVER feel air moving out the other wetsuit openings during operation; whether in the ‘Waist Folding’ method or the ’Shoulder Hang’ method. It just does NOT move enough air. I usually have to place the housing up to my face to determine if it is actually running/operating. The amount of air movement (flow rate) appears to be too low.

In addition, the small amount of neoprene at the cuffs around the SURFDRY housing never drys. One must switch the device to another leg or arm opening. My suits have not been sufficiently dried by the SURFDRY during overnight operation in the garage in Winter here in Southern California.

While I have used the HangAir on both Medium and Large sized wetsuits (for surf), I have never experienced it over-stretching the neoprene in the shoulders permanently. It seems very appropriately sized to capture and distribute the amount of air needed to dry a full suit. The UK HangAir pushes 120 CFMs which is sufficient to dry a mens full suit in 4 to 8 hours, depending on your temperature and humidity. It never takes longer than 6-8 hours overnight in the garage on the coldest nights here in Southern Calif.

Hi Michael,
We appreciate your feedback. There are a HUGE amount of variables with respect to drying surf gear, including wetstuit thicknesses, neoprene materials, linings, ambient air temps and humidities.

We do know Hang Air doesn't dry booties. It isn't hand / held portable, so it doesn't stow well, especially for surf travel and isn't near-silent, so indoor drying could be annoying. We also considered recurring messaging from nearly every wetsuit manufacturer that heavy, wet wetsuits shouldn't be hung by the shoulders. And not every neoprene is equal in terms of moisture retention (some we tested carry as much as 120% of their dry weight in water). For this reason, we only recommend hanging wetsuits folded at the waist.

Couple other thoughts:
1. Great idea: We will consider providing different length USB cables in future kits. The good news is... SURFDRY uses *any USB-C* cables and power supply. With SURFDRY's very low power draw - only 1watt - a $10 USB Battery pack will run a pair of SURFDRY for 60 to 80 hours. While we wanted to provide everything you'd need to use SURFDRY a small investment in customizing a setup could offer huge portability and flexibilty.

2. We tested SURFDRY with various components, including higher throughput (louder) fans. They didn't dry faster with ambient air at least in our testing , which we tested in multiple seasons. (This is coastal Leucadia / Encinitas and a few miles inland Carlsbad, neither are particularly dry.

Thank you again for the thoughtful feedback!

The units are very nice. The cincept is great. The fans are VERY low speed and there does not seem to be much airflow. Was on a wetsuit for over 2 hours and did not seem to dry much.

Hi Jarrod,
We sincerely appreciate feedback. As discussed, dry overnight are the expectations we are setting, 8 to 14 hours. With warm / dry ambient air, unfortuantely, 2 hours won't dry much, unless the temperatures are very warm, say >85F in a Summer garage.
The low fan speed and noise, we feel, is a feature, not a flaw. In our testing, we found moving more ambient air didn't dry faster, it just made more noise. And who wants more noise indoors?
We appreciate you!
Thank you,
Doug

Great idea, I can recommend it. It’s just a bit of a shame about the power cord – it’s a little impractical.

Hi Reto,
We appreciate you, your review and feedback!
The included cables are nothing proprietary. ANY USB-C cables will work. If you want longer or shorter or different colors, they will be compatible with SURFDRY.
Also, SURFDRY is compatible with any USB power source. I use a small USB battery pack, 10000mah (cigarette pack sized) and it runs a pair for 60 to 70 hours. So long that I tend to forget the last time I charged my battery!
Thanks again!
