SOORUZ - Men's Full Suit GURU WIND 5/4 BZ - Oysterprene Y6
When the wind picks up and the water gets choppy, the GURU WIND 5F4 BZ keeps you focused on the ride, not the chills.
The suit that stays put when it blows
On a wind-facing edge, you immediately feel the difference: your torso and back stay protected, your arms move freely, and the warmth stays in place. The back zip with batwing blocks water entry when it splashes. You hit a kicker, land a bit soft, it rinses... and it doesn’t flare up at the neck. A little smile under the leash, we know.
If you compare within the same family, take a look at the SOORUZ - GURU+ ORGANIC OYSTERPRENE 5F4 Full Suit or the SOORUZ - FZ FLY+ 5F4mm. And to sweep through the entire category, check out 5F4 Men's Suits.
What makes the difference
Back zip + Batwing that limit rinsing
Easy to put on Back-Zip opening, and batwing that forms an additional barrier against water entry in the upper back. Handy when it’s windy.
Oysterprene Y6 at the core
Oysterprene Y6 foam for the right mix of warmth and flexibility. You keep your bounce on the module tips without sacrificing comfort on long edges.
Targeted warmth Storm-Dry
Storm-Dry lining placed where you need it: upper thighs, chest, back. The kind of detail that makes a difference at the end of the session when your arms start to heat up.
Windproof Black Diamond panels
On the chest and back, Black Diamond panels limit wind effect. Less apparent cooling, more consistency in effort.
Finish that keeps up
GBS seams reinforced with soft G6 HEAT-ON tape inside. Outer materials made from recycled polyester and nylon, laminated with water-based glue. Strong, neat, clean.
Designed for the wind
Velcro ankles to fit snugly at the ankles, water outlets at the calves to drain after a good crash, and anti-cramp forearm cut to relieve forearms when you pull a bit long. The only thing that will squeeze more than your bindings is your smile after the first run.
If you want even more insulation for polar days, check out the GURU WIND 6F5F4. And to complete your feet, the 5mm RT LC Zip Boots do the job when the water is really cold.

For those who send it when it blows, who want a warm and easy-to-put-on 5F4, with wind protection and smart details to last on the water. Whether at the cable on a windy day or on exposed edges, you stay well protected without losing the flex needed for pop and rotations.
Frequently asked questions
Is the GURU WIND 5F4 a Back-Zip or Chest-Zip?
This model is a Back-Zip (back zip) with a batwing to limit water entry in the upper back. The benefit: easy on, good protection when it splashes, and an additional barrier against rinsing. If you prefer a front opening, check out the other 5F4 suits in the same category on the site.
Where is the Storm-Dry lining and what does it change on the water?
The Storm-Dry lining is placed at the upper thighs, on the chest, and in the back. Essentially, you keep warmth where the wind and splashes cool the most, without weighing down the suit. At the end of the session, the temperature remains more stable and you can keep your energy for the last modules.
What are the Black Diamond panels for?
They are positioned on the chest and back to limit wind effect. Less apparent cooling when it blows, more comfort on long edges. This is typically useful when you ride exposed to the wind or between falls with air rushing by.
Can I wear it with neoprene booties?
Yes, the suit has Velcro at the ankles to fit snugly and limit water entry. Neoprene booties slide underneath without issue. For really cold days, the 5mm RT LC Zip Boots from Sooruz are a good option.
How do I maintain it for longevity?
Rinse with fresh water after each session, drain it by the feet and dry it in the shade, on a wide hanger. Avoid direct sunlight, hot water, washing machines, and dryers. Store it dry, without creases. These simple actions keep the stretch and seams in shape longer.
What thickness and what use should I expect?
It’s a 5F4 mm suit with a construction aimed at windy sessions: windproof panels, drainage at the calves, and ankle support. You’re targeting outings in cold water or chilly conditions when the wind picks up, all while keeping flex to ride and send without feeling restricted.
