I am a wakeboarder.
Location: Chautauqua Lake, N.Y.
About an hour and a half south of Buffalo

I am looking for a wetsuit to extend the season and make morning sessions more enjoyable.
Water Temp Range, 55 - 75, degrees F

I am thinking about getting a spring suit rather than a full suit. My cold sensitivity isn't very high as I could go out with just a bathing suit in high 50s water. I just want to be out longer and I figure a spring suit will just add that extra comfort without going overboard.

Here's the problem:
My price range is only up to about $130.
I know you get what you pay for but hey I only wakeboard for 2 months out of the year and its often 70 degrees or warmer.

So if anyone has any suggestions on the brand, type, or thickness that would be much appreciated. Or even brands to aviod would be helpful.

I'm looking for something new so please don't try to sell me your stuff.

Sorry for the long post and thank you.

I do not have much knowledge of wetsuits, but if I were you I would look on ebay. I have looked on there before and there seemed to be a bunch that would be in your price range. Sorry I do not know what to recommend as far as wet suits.

Another option would be a heater top. I wear one in the early/late season and sometimes in the mornings. I ride in Ohio, so we deal with similar temps. I wear a jet pilot one. I know oneill makes them and there are other brands. I wear something similar to this:

also, check on that website as there are many wetsuits in your price range.
