i want to get a hoodie, gloves and booties to go with my drysuit for wake-boarding/surfing...any suggestions on what to get and look for? I'm in on the eastside of the lake from Seattle.

thanks,
-Kim

Kim,

Try Urban Surf down near Gasworks Park. One of the guys that has been riding with us found some great winter gear there.

has anyone tried closed toe bindings and if so, do they help keep feet warmer in cold weather?

I've checked a number of the board shops (Adrenaline, Bakes, Ski Masters) for cold weather gear in Seattle but have had the best luck at the surf shops -- Urban Surf near Gasworks and Cheka-Looka on Eastlake. Actually, I got the O'Neill hoodie (and O'Neill drysuit) at Ski Masters, the latex booties at Adrenaline and the gloves at Urban Surf and Cheka-Looka. The surf shops have neoprene booties and I'd imagine hoodies too.
