Wetsuit for a string bean?

I have a 6' tall 14yo ds who still has a child's physique, but with arms and legs like Peter Crouch, and a big bum.

He urgently needs a lightweight wetsuit, shortie will do. I don't want to spend ££££ because it won't get much use this year, and I doubt he's
stopped growing yet.

We've always got our wetsuits from Decathlon, but I've just been and they don't have anything to fit ds. Their stock is low ATM, but they said that anything they have to fit a 6-footer is highly likely to be too wide for him.

Any suggestions? We leave in 2 weeks (fingers crossed).

Have a look at an online chandlery/boat shop if the carry wetsuits they'll have loads of brands and sizes, even better if you can visit. Will probs cost more than decathlon, I have to buy my 11 year olds carefully as she has the physique of an older teen and really broad shoulders and great big muscly thighs (from cycling, climbing and sailing!!) so the ones with extra seams round the knee etc dont work for her! The more choice you have the better. Adult ones can be very expensive but it sounds like you need one. My girl has age 16 size!!
