So The weather was beautiful on wednesday here so I played hooky after lunch and took the boat out. Air temp: 74 Water temp: 60 DAYUM it was cold. I don't have a wet suit either. So i about drowned when i hit the water and gasped. SO I cruised up to the industrial area and found some warmed water. 69 not so bad.

So anyway I was throwing pretty solid H/S backrolls. At the end I started trying to throw in a 180 at the end and land T/S. I landed one or two but mostly ate stuff alot. Is that a different trick, if so what is it called?

Also what is the best wetsuit for wakeboarding? I have a triathalon john style wetsuit but it is super tight and hard to do much in except swim and it was pricey so i am hesitant to mess it up.

Sounds like a roll to revert, assuming it was a FS 180.

cary is right. as for wetsuits, that depends on how cold your water is going to get. a basic one like a rip curl classic would probably be good until the water hits the 50's if the air is cold. If it's getting much colder than that, you may want to look into something that's fully taped and glued, like oneill's psycho 2, rip curl's e-bomb, jet pilot's chamber of quiksilver's cell. they are all several hundo though, usually between 300 and 400 bucks

Yeah it is a backroll to revert. I like drysuits more than wetsuits because I find that wetsuits limit flexibility more because of the tightness and whatnot. That is more of preference. Also if you don't want to be cold, like at all, then drysuit is the way to go. I have the cheapest one out of Overton's magazine, and it is holding up and performing just fine.
