>Santa Cruz is a very popular surfing spot and they stay in the water much longer than a kayaker would. I wonder what kind of advice the local surf shops would give (O'neils is one of them). Wetsuits are actually designed to work IN the water, which is, um, probably why they are called - wet suits :-) Once you have been swimming and have gotten out of the water a wetsuit can actually become quite cold and uncomfortable in cold weather, especially if you stop working, or paddling, as the case may be. So most surfers and divers like to get out of their wet wetsuits as quickly as possible when they leave the water. Just something to consider.
