I finally went and brought myself a better wetsuit. My trusty West is good for windsurfing, but the non-sealed seams and the simple neck and arm seals just let the water circulate too much when I surf.
So I followed all the advise and got myself the best I could afford, being an O'Neill Psycho 2. What a beuty. It keeps me nice and warm and is so flexible I have to keep checking that I haven't forgotten something.
The only trouble is I can't get in and out of it. What with all its double sealed openings and Zen zip sealing systems it is a very interesting proposition.
The plastic bags over the hands and feet works well, but I find them a bit of an incumberance on the board (yes I am joking).
Realistically, it is reasonably easy to get into. I will just have to get something to hook the little Zen zip seal flap on the back, because there is no way in hell I can reach it. The biggest issue is getting out of it after 3-hours on the water. Being totally exhausted doesn't help.
If anyone comes across a middle aged bloke half out of a wetsuit in a carpark, can you please poke me with a stick or something to revive me
