Is a 3/2 full body arms and legs wetsuit suitable all year in Southern California?

hey chris, most of the surfers i know in socal surf a 3/2 in the winter. i know one girl who is always cold and wears a 4/3 when it's really bad, but she's unusual. i myself have a 3/2 for winter (surf county line to san diego in it), a springsuit for spring and a 1mm jacket for wind, or a cooler summer morning. if you're going to get one suit for socal a 3/2 is the way to go. you may want to add booties when it's really cold. i find that the chill takes its toll more on my hands and feet than my core. dunno about the zipperless suits. i wouldn't want to try wiggling out of one when frozen but that's personal preference. you can get some deals on full suits in the height of summer. dive n' surf in redondo beach is the original body glove shop and i've scored a new full suit there before for $60-100. good luck!
