As I assemble my Christmas wish list, the idea of a wet suit for early and late season water skiing has come to mind. I did a first pass search online, and quickly realized there seem to be an infinite number of options - most of which I do not understand the pros and cons of.
Im looking for something to extend my skiing season - nothing crazy, just trying to make it more comfortable in the spring and fall. This year it was early June (June 7 to be exact) before I was willing to get in the water, I would like to be able to get back on the ski sometime in May. Wish I could remember the water temperature then, but I recall it was pretty dang cool, maybe not enough to take my breath away, but cold enough to make me NOT want to be in for long.
Would appreciate any recommendations... Material, thickness, shorty vs fullsuit (Im thinking shorty makes sense, but Im not sure) etc, Brand recommendations would be most welcome, but I suspect that is a matter of preference...
I would be pretty happy if I could add a couple of weeks to both ends of the season...
Thanks in advance!
