Hey it's been a while since i've last posted on the site but ive been keeping up w/ it since the summer. its almost riding time and i can't wait to get out so i need some suggestions on some "decent" wetsuits that dont cost more than my board.

i want to start riding once the weather gets to around 60...what do i need?

Here's a good one for cheap. If it's not your size then check that same store for different sizes. You probably can't find a tri glued double blindstitched wetsuit for a better price.

bama ive got this ripcurl. Its an AMAZING wetsuit, soooooo warm and comfortable. Plus they have lots of diffrent sizes, more than jetpilot and obrien and what not. I take a meduim tall and am 6'0 150 and its a perfect fit.

jboss, no.. snow on the ground. and it was a regular wet suit.. i know, im crazy. u dont have to admit ur love towards me

jboss, it can be 65 degrees outside with snow still on the ground. Snow is an amazing insulator, which means snow can remain on the ground for a long time

tahoe integ <3 <3 <3 <3 Cool

you can get away with a spring suit in 60 degree air (of course it depends on water temp but with 60 degree air the water is not gonna be 30 or anything) costco sells decent jobe wetsuits for super cheap. its super uncomfortable but it gets the job done if youre not riding everyday. i rode in one today with air in the low 40s. my body was warm but my hands and feet were in serious pain.

I've been riding a 3-2 ripcurl elasto all winter, it may cost a little more but it is so comfy and I've had it for at least 5 years. It seems that a drysuit would be better for wakeskating, so people say, I am looking into one for next year. Have fun homes. Birthday

cool...thanks for all the replies...ya ima check out those jobe wetsuits from costco...I just need something to keep me warm for a weekend session every now and then until spring rolls around. Man i dont know how you guys are doing it in 40 degree weather, i'd seriously freeze to death.

I'm gonna check out some spring suits too...
jboss-that store didn't carry my size in anything i wanted...im like 6' 185 lbs

those ripcurl 3-2's are just more then i want to spend...i gotta get a new jet ski this summer too Very Happy

what u guys think about this

bama ACTUALLY Jetpilkot makes boardshorts with neoprene linings. Check buywake or boardstop or wakeside.

That jobe wetsuit looks alright. Only thing i have against cheap springers are they let a bunch of water in. I have the same springer as warlock and it always let water in and didnt really do much good at al, thats why i bought that ripcurl and ill do a complete faceplant and very little or no water will get in. Hell, i can ride and take it off and ill be completely dry Very Happy

the shorts are called jetpilot "ride shorts", i have a pair and they work great with a neo top for cooler weather.
