Forward WIP Neo Socks 2mm - Grippy Neoprene Board Socks (No Boots Needed)

The Forward WIP Neo Socks 2mm are lightweight, super-stretch neoprene watersports socks designed to provide warmth, grip and exceptional board feel without the bulk of traditional wetsuit boots. Ideal for wingfoiling, windsurfing and other boardsports, these technical neoprene socks can be worn directly on your board without additional boots, making them an excellent choice for riders who prefer a closer connection to their equipment.

Constructed from 2mm super-stretch neoprene, the Forward WIP Neo Socks provide a flexible layer of thermal protection while allowing your feet to move naturally. Their lightweight, close-fitting design helps maintain sensitivity and control underfoot, making them particularly suitable for riders who want to feel the board beneath their feet without the thickness and stiffness of conventional neoprene footwear.

One of the key advantages of the Forward WIP Neo Socks is their ability to provide grip directly on wet board surfaces and soft traction pads. Whether you're adjusting your stance on a wingfoil board, balancing on a windsurf board or moving across a padded deck, the grippy construction helps maintain traction while preserving the natural flexibility of your feet. Unlike traditional wetsuit socks intended primarily for wearing inside boots, these socks are designed to be used independently on suitable board surfaces.

For improved warmth and protection in colder conditions, the socks feature fully taped seams designed to minimise water ingress. Combined with the insulating 2mm neoprene, this construction helps keep feet more comfortable during cooler sessions while retaining the freedom of movement needed for technical boardsports.

The Forward WIP Neo Socks are also extremely versatile. During colder weather, they can be worn inside trainers, wetsuit boots or other suitable footwear to provide an additional insulating layer. This makes them a practical option for riders who want lightweight board socks for milder conditions and extra warmth inside footwear when temperatures drop.

Available in EU sizes 36 to 47, the Forward WIP Neo Socks 2mm offer an excellent combination of warmth, flexibility, grip and board sensitivity. Whether worn directly on your board or as an insulating layer inside footwear, they are a versatile addition to your wingfoiling, windsurfing and watersports equipment.
