My suggestion for wakeskatind would be a Barefoot International (BFI). They have neoprene cuffs that cover all of the latex seals and help prevent the grip tape for scraping the seals. I have had mine for many years and it still works great.
And good suits are generally $300-$400.

I would go with a Bare or Oneil, Bare typically is a little less money, the Oneil's have suspenders and a metal zipper and cost a little more. I would caution you about riding a skate with grip while wearing a dry suit. A buddy of mine crashed, ripped his bare and it started to fill up with water.....can you say panic?????!!!  |
