    WTB: used wetsuit. probably XL. Not sure what I need.

    I'll be doing a couple of wakeboard trips down to havasu this winter. I've been told the water gets down to around 55 - 60. I'm 6'0 and about 220lbs.

    Should I be looking at a 3/2 suit? I'm not looking to spend a ton as this is something I'll only use a couple of times a year.

    Anyone have an older suit hanging around that they don't need or want anymore?

    Yeah 3-2 works great up here in NH during the summers where the temps are very similar. I'm not sure how much time you will be spending floating around.....it gets a little colder when you aren't moving. 4-3 could be a safe bet if you're willing to compromise flexibility, which is very minimal.
    I got my quiksilver 3-2 at a local shop for 100 bucks new.

    I don't spend much time hanging out in the water. Usually just a minute or two before getting pulled up and out.

    I'd prefer to buy used to save money but is there any good online shops that I should check out? Don't have much for surf shops here in Utah.

    I can help you out if you really are looking for a cheap XL 3/2.

    I bought a Body Glove 3/2 in XL in May, when I started learning to surf. It was too big on me, and I just bought the same suit in MT, so I've got the old one floating around, useless to me. It's got one miniscule hole in the back from an errant board fin, and a little bit of abrasion around the knee, but it's generally in plenty good shape. PM me if interested. They go new for about $120, I'm willing to let this one go for maybe 50?
