Well ive been lookin for a full wetsuit for around 100 bucks and have found real nice ones. only problem is according to the wetsuit companies my body is out of proportion. im 5'11.5 and 145(150 at most) So if i get my height i shold weigh 185 pounds. anyone know a good website for wetsuits?ive already check boadstop, wakeside, buywake, all those guys. ive looked at oneil, ripcurl, body glove, jetpilot, quicksilver(closest to my size), and others. i dont know if i should check into surfing wetsuits cuz theyd have a wider size range probably. any help would be appreciated. thanks p.s. im lookin for a full size 3/2

integrity640, I'd say look at RipCurl's lineup. Some of the suits can get expensive, but they are completely worth it. (You can also score them on ebay for a decent price.) RipCurl does sizing so you can order them for taller people (I own a large/tall) I weigh about 185 and am 6'3". It's still a bit of a stretch, but the RipCurl neoprene is crazy stretchable. I'd say do more research with them.
