Per !Jones:
Do you mean, like, wet suits? I have one for surf fishing. My
partner does not. Mine look like bib overalls... they work OK in the
surf unless I fall.

Mostly a dry suit. Better upper body mobility. Used to use a Bare Polar: bag
top, neo bottom. Now I have a Koketat all-bag.

I still have mixed feelings about which one I like better. One advantage of
the Koketat is that I can vary the under layers depending on water temp. Two
advantages of the Bare are lower body streamlining (if you have to swim in a
sprint to catch a drifting windsurfer or surf ski) and lower body padding (i.e..
fewer minor bruises when you get tumbled).

One unexpected downside of the Koketat for me is that I'm soooo dry, sooooo
warm, and soooo unencumbered when windsurfing that it's almost surreal - almost
like playing a video game instead of really being in/on the water.

A potential fallacy in any bag dry suit is not wearing enough under it for
immersion. There's a conflict between comfort out of the water while paddling
and survivability in cold water.

When the water's warm, I just wear nylon shorts and a life vest. In that case,
there's also a temperature advantage to a sit-on-top in that whenever I feel the
need, I just roll off the ski into the nice cool water for a few minutes. No
re-entry techniques needed.... just throw a leg over the thing, plop my butt
into the seat well and go...
