I'm Bob, live in Santa Rosa, just bought a second hand Ocean Kayak Trident 13. Ready to determine what I need for a wet suit and other gear. Advice would be appreciated as I'm a newbie to this but used to do whitewater in Colorado.

The "which wetsuit/drysuit" subject has been discussed at length many times, the trick is finding one of those discussions. The site does have a search function but it's not fine tuned.

Here's one
