if you are using it for kitesurfing you will need it much larger than yourself to allow for extreme movement so try one on at any boat chandlers find the size then buy on ebay; did that with my last 2 dry suits and it works; i'm 5'8" and my typhoon crewsaver surface drysuit is for tall. after i put on my harness its takes up the slack.
i will go for the Gul one next good features and far cheaper than the over priced ocean rodeo and just as good quality.
my typhoons are cheap but i am on my 3rd winter with the last one!

If you want a made to measure suit you could try Gareth at Gryphon drysuits in Cannock. Mainly makes suits for diving but will make a suit to whatever spec you want.
