    Default Pick My Suit!!

    I'm down to these 4 wetsuits. I'm in the Orlando area (Winter Garden) and we typically don't see water temps too cold but I'm sure they'll be in the 60's soon. Air temps are usually in the mid 70's this time through first of the year with occasional cold snaps but I won't be wakeboarding those days.

    I know the glued seams are ideal as well as a water tight zipper but plain and simple I just can't afford an expensive suit, times are tight.

    I aslo wasn't sure if I should get long sleeve/short sleeve & full suit or short.

    Here are the 4 I'm down to

    H20dssey 3/2 full suit
    http://www.pleasuresports.com/menswetsuitbaja.html


    I should also note that I'm on a tight budget, the guys that I ride with have cheapo suits (one doesn't have one at all) so they won't want to ride on cold days anyway. The main purpose of this suit is to try and get an extra couple of months out of the season (November & February)

    I don't have a membership there but I'm sure I could find a way. What are the name brands there that are good?

    My other thought was that if good is $65 but you can get a great suit for $90 then I'll do that.

    Our water doesn't usually get any higher than that, although this summer it got to like 85 and we started getting infections in our eyes and ears when we went out from all the bacteria.

    We've had some cool nights so I'm guessing the water is in the 60's now. Air temps in the mid to upper 70's.

    I went to college in Tampa (basically the same weather/water temps) and we skied year round with no wet suits. Man up. Make sure you have sweats/thermals in the boat when you get out. There is no cost to sucking it up.

    Get an Exceed Execute (full suit). http://www.exceedwetsuits.com/

    You can pick it up for about $90.

    Exceed is owned by a Florida Moomba owner, and the wetsuits are designed by Floridians.

    does me very well in our Orlando "winters".

    contact Mark. He'll get the suit to you by next weekend.

    e
    I don't see a single wetsuit on that site for $90 and the execute is twice that much.

    Tell him your a Moomba owner, a Moomba board member and you heard of his company here.

    you can get an exceed or you can get just a run of the mill wetsuit.

    I think Moombadaze got one around the same price I paid too.



    Oh, how about this.... I have a large Exceed Execute I'm willing to sell for $325...and I'll throw in a pair of Kicker KMT6 tower speakers and a Kicker amplifier.

    I'll deliver to West Orange Trail Winter Garden station
    I saw that part, I didn't realize that could equal a discount
