I ride a newer(read; with neo neck seal) oneil boost and I love it. I had a small leak in the leg last winter and oneill fixed it really quick. Another good suit is the bare ultra dry.

Have you ever used a drysuit before? they are a trip at first, but so worth it. my season never ends thatnks to mine

Drysuits rock. It's so nuts to suit up with sweat pants and sweat shirt and then jump in the water. Although, one time, I didnt fully zip up the back. Water poured in a all my clothes were soaking wet with freezing water. Good times.

RUSSIAN, how much was that?

I personally prefer wetsuit's.There's something very strange about floating like the michelin man.Modern wetsuit's are like drysuit's anyways with the new stretchy form fitting material, flushing is extremely rare.They also fit better and are less in the way.You'll never see a surfer wearing a drysuit.

I think they msrp for 279

Tribal, good points, but trying to change into dry clothes on the boat when it's f'n cold is no fun. It's much easier to take off a drysuit and put warm socks on. And surfers are in the water the whole day

Russian I don't really have a problem when changing I'm pretty warm from my session.The one downfall I'd say is I'm usually only a 1 session guy when wearing the wetsuit because putting on a wet wetsuit really sucks.I already had lot's of wetsuits lying around from surfing before I ever started waking so I guess it was the natural choice for me.
