Great suggestions - thanks. And watermanatwork I've been reading over your site - good info there too. I plan to do a test drive on Mission Bay next week with either OEX or MB SportsCenter - I'll find out how wet and cold I get and judge from that what to get for kayak clothing.

I prefer to get something local vs. on-line ordering. Being tall and thin doesn't work for most sizes - need to try before I buy - I don't know of Cabela's or Bass Pro shops in the SD area.

You may not have much choice locally.
I am 6'6" with size 14 foot. Had to buy XXL to get length for legs and feet. They are baggie but are way more comfortable than a farmer john wet suit.

That's a good point. Local shops will have common sizes, and this aint a fashion show.

I do like paddling pants with surf trunks underneath. I wore my ankle high split toe surf booties and pants last time out and was happy with the setup.
