Surf’s up! From paddle boarding to surfing, watersports are arguably the best and most immersive way to explore the British coastlines or local riverways – and participation is on the rise.

Whether you’re dipping your toe for the first time or are a seasoned watersports pro, the right bit of gear is always essential and yet often costly. Thankfully, Aldi has been kitting us all summer with its sports Specialbuys.

From affordable golf carts, bags and clubs to one of the cheapest inflatable paddleboards on the market, the supermarket is the place to stock up on budget sporting goods – and now, you can shop both kids’ and adult wetsuits.

While many wetsuits can cost upwards of £300, Aldi’s watersports range costs between £12.99 and £29.99. Not only is each suit UV resistant and windproof, but they also have slip-resistant panels and are packed in a reusable knitted bag for storage and transportation.

If you’re preparing to hit the water this season, here’s everything you need to know about Aldi’s wetsuit range.
