Id go for The shorts . Even Though you might get a rash alot cooler than a roasting hot Wetsuit .{ Are wetsuits hot ? }

depends where you are up here its 4/3 even in summer.utherwize your soldger might never solute again.but with the right suit no problems.in florida on the other hand when I was there I had my suit on just a 3/2 and could not stand the heat.And I think they were laphing at me on the beach when I whent in.what did I know then I almost always surfed cold water befor that.

i'd go shorts
it might not be the warmest but it feels better when you surfing, more flex
and feel that free in a wettie
