Answer 1

O.K. 2pink, You ready? First and foremost, the only person who answered your ? with ANY kind of knowledge was that skimboarder, B-tek. The other two were friggin' coconuts, and have absolutely NO right to be giving you or anybody else "advice". So to add to B-Tek's answer, you need to go out and simply try on a couple of suits. Just like you would a pair shoes or something. The associates at a surf shop will be able to give you some real good pointers and advice, so listen to them. 1) Comfort. An ABSOLUTE nessecity. You want your suit to fit just right. You want as little 'excess material'. Limit extra folds or flaps anywhere. If you happen to be in between sizes, go with the bigger one, to limit the chance of tear at the seams. Holes in wetsuits are bad! It seems that you are a female, so obviously purchace a female suit. 2) With wetsuits, you pretty much get what you pay for. So, don't be afraid to spend a little $. Remember...COMFORT IS KEY! 3) I was born and raised in downtown Huntington beach, Ca. and have been surfing 20 years. I just turned 33 last month and I'm still partial to Rip Curl suits. I make the trip down the 5 Freeway exit Christianos and go left over the freeway. Make a left at the first stop sign. About a mile down on the left is the Rip Curl factory or outlet store. I've been scoring real good suits and other gear there for years. You can get just what you're looking for there new, and at or around $150-$250. Good luck!
