Well I am about to go buy a wet suit and was wondering what would be the best one to get for Kite boarding ??

I heard about 1 peice suit with 4 mm all around with 3 mm at elbow and knee area

or

5mm all around with 4 mm at elbow and knee area

are these good enough to not freeze after 1 hour in the water,, and which one would be better???

The best is a 5/4mm surf suit with an attached hood. That could probably keep you going all year. If comfort and warmth are your ultimate goal, you could try a drysuit in the winter. Most kiters around here use an Ocean Rodeo Pyro.

hope that helps,
