    go dry suit. i prefer a baggy suit to put layers on underneath. never loan it out. others seem to always rip the seals out. and don't U in the dry suit.

    was a bit cool saturday (-9!) so i worked on my stalactites.


    turns were great then as well as again today. lake should open up wednesday so we can get the boat out too.

    as mentioned, wakemakers online. or if you get to portland, hit up Active Water Sports. they actually have some pretty damn good prices on their drysuits. I use gloves made for paddling. NRS is the company. mine are maybe only 2 or 3 mil, but kept my hands fine in 36 degree water. They have seals on them so your hands stay pretty dry in the gloves. I have booties too for surfing. For wakeboarding, I have closed toe bindings, so I was able to manage without anything on my feet. however, a 1mil neoprene sock would have been nice and probably still fit. My slalom ski bindings are open toed, so I've only used them in temps in the 50s.

    Some of maintenance on dry suits are: hang them up to dry, baby powder the gaskets and wax the zipper.

    Avoid cotton undergarments. The thin insulating top and bottoms from Costco work well and a layer of fleece when it gets real cold.
    Probably because everyone's foot sizes are different (I wear a size 7 shoe and wouldn't want boots that could accomodate a 14). And if my drysuit had built in boots, I couldn't use it wakeboarding or skiing. That alone would make me not buy one with integrated boots.

    When I surf, I do use booties, but I lose a lot of feel to the board. it's better than not surfing, but I sure wouldn't want any thicker bootie soles than I have right now, like the people with 5 mil booties
