That's why you always wear a wet suit when water skiing, even on a hot day.

I’ve done a lot of water skiing and have never seen any recreational skiers wearing anything like a wet suit.

Have fun crashing at high speed at the wrong angle and having water shoved up where it doesn't belong. Hasn't happened to me because I always wear a shortie, after listening to advice from those it did happen to.

I also always wear a vest, even though I can swim just fine, because the ski can hit you in the head and knock you out. Also, people sometimes pass out and drown from the CO coming off the engine.

Am in Texas. No way am I wearing a wet suit while skiing right now.

The wetsuit shortie should be fine. But suit yourself :-)
