If you don’t do that, you will trap in moisture, then start to smell.  Ensure you dry the inside and the outside. 

However, start with the inside. Avoid exposing your wetsuit to direct sun; instead, hang it on a shade to protect the neoprene. Otherwise, dry it inside. Another thing is to store your wetsuit flat and in a temperature-controlled place. You can store them in your bathroom. Avoid folding them; instead, keep them flat.You should occasionally clean your wetsuit. When your wet suit develops Algae, has sweat, oils and combined with urine, your wetsuit will start to stink. 

 To prevent this, ensure this clean your wetsuit using the best wetsuit shampoo and conditioners available in the market. You can get wetsuit cleaners from surf stores or order from online stores. Never dry clean your wetsuit or iron it.  Ensure to use proper cleaning and care techniques so that your wetsuit can last longer.  Ensure that you keep your wetsuit in good condition; never take it off and throw it somewhere until the next time you go surfing; this is going to damage your wetsuit.
