After searching forever, I mail ordered a drysuit for my daughter from wakezone.biz. I must say, not being "brand name", I had my doubts. I figured DuPont Cordura and YKK zippers shows quality materials. After using it a few times; this thing is bomber. It's a no frills, serves the purpose, drysuit. I figured I couldn't be the only parent looking for one, so I thought I'd pass this along.

That is great that you found one for your daughter. But they appear to be pricey in comparsion to the Bare and even a good deal on the Oneil Boost.

Here is a wakeworld sponsor that has a kids drysuit.

Pricey at $300 with shipping and drysuit care kit? I guess the research I did prior to purchasing showed the Bare $30 to $50 more and I payed $375 for my Oneil Boost 4 years ago. Plus, factor in replacing the neoprene neck seal with latex, $40, so it doesn't leak anymore.......I thought it was a pretty good deal. Just my opinion, though, and another option.
I can almost see Poo Poo Point from your profile pic. I am surprised that photo isn't plastered all over the Marketplace for sale.

I was trying to support wakeworld sponsors and wakezone is not the first or only to offer a kids drysuit.

If you do a search of ww discussion threads, u will find lots on cheaper drysuits. I know a place that sells Bare for $175 and I got my boost for $200.

And what about my profile pic makes me poo poo indicators?

Poo Poo point is in Issaquah, where they do paragliding..Tiger Mountain. My in-laws used to own the Triple X Drive-In there and the same view that is in your profile pic is what we had, only with paragliders. Just brought back memories.

I took that picture from my lake house at Seward Park two summers ago. Wish I could make money off that shot...I could use the money on wakeboard gear.
