i usually wait till the sporties are close by....then just stand up with my waders around my ankles and let loose
a very liberating experience!
i have a couple sets of the Hodgeman wadelites..they're ok but after 20-30hrs of peddling around mine always get fatigued in the crotch area and start to leak...i wish i woulda just bit the bullets and spent my 300buck at NRS (NRSweb.com) a couple of my friends love the stuff...and every winter im in envy!
For jackets i've found these military issue extreme weather jacket shells that are gor-tex work excellent, you can get them on ebay for like 30-40bucks they are thin, light, fold up small, and comfortable. Gore-tex is the poop!!! although if i had the ducketts i would be sporting NRS gear!! (i think their higher end gear is also made of gore-tex)
Wetsuits suck...i have a good surf break in my backyard and surf almost every morning so i have a few new suits at all times...they are no fun on a kayak...too hot or too cold if the wind is up and swampy inside if u fish all day...and takin a pee is a pain if u dont want to sit in ur own puddle all day! That said i will wear them if im launching/landing in high surf...but those days im usually packing light and only out for a couple hrs
