Who makes a drysuit for a 9 year old?

Son is about 70 pounds, four feet tall, buck teeth and has a stupid grin on his face most of the time. Has trouble following directions, bickers with his older brother and would rather play video games than do his homework.

Who makes a drysuit for such a character?

A dry suit can only be appreciated after using a wet suit for a few years. I know they make wet suits in his size. I think our sons must know each other.

Steve,

You forgot a couple of details:

Can easily entertain himself - usually verbally.

Loves singing, "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Sponge Bob Sqaure Pants, Sponge Bob Sqaure Pants, Sponge Bob Sqaure Pants...."

Can ride behind the boat for nearly two hours without getting tired.

Thought that might help in choosing which dry suit would be best for him. haha

Been riding much?

Hey, Jim: that does help round him out. He cracks me up, that's for sure. Figure he'll be landing backrolls and 360s long before I do though, he loves to spin and flip.

Haven't been out much. Christian's ear, then he got pneumonia. Down time's been good though to heal up some nicks and strains. Hitting the glucosamine pretty hard too!

Hope T feels better soon. Looking forward to seeing Jonathan pull rolls and spins. I think you might be a little too old though - old dog new tricks. haha.

Look on ebay - they had some small suits for not much $ when I looked today.

I have one. My son is 10 and he is just about ready to outgrow it. Could be talked into giving it up.

How much and what type? Baggy or neoprene? Who made it in case we want new, if you don't mind my asking?
