My wife and I are beginner wake boarders, but we are hooked! We bought a Malibu 23lsv which makes a good wake for both boarding and surfing. Unfortunately it's starting to get chilly here. Last week water was already 74. Still doable in just board shorts, but before long it will be low 50s. We want to get wet suits so that we can do it year round. I'm 6ft 180lb and she's 5ft2" and 105 lbs. Being used to phx weather, we both hate cold water and would rather stay on the warmer side.
Money isn't an issue if it's paying for quality gear that's actually "worth it", but I don't care for wasting it on fads, paying for brand name or useless features.
Can someone recommend a good wetsuit for us? Something we can start wearing in 70 degree water but still be good in the low 50s. I realize a suit that is good in the 50s might be a bit warm for the 70s,but I have no issue taking it off between runs to cool off if needed.
From some research it looks like the O'Neil 4/3 phsyco III might be what we are looking for.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
