it may be a good idea to email the beginners doing the tuesday night course about the wetsuits as I had a few people enquiring about good cheap wetsuits last tuesday night. Just an Idea!

Lads these are diving wetsuits, 6 & 5.5mm combo.
These are twice the thickness of normal wetsuits, they wouldn't be suitable for kayaking.

I'll second what Paul says, "not suitable for kayaking", the extra thickness of neoprene would restrict your movement too much.
The shorty ones though are 3.5mm thick and could be worth a punt, I'm thinking I'll buy one myself.
