Wetsuit problem - Water up the legs

I bought a new Neil Pryde wetsuit a little while ago and have been plagued by the 'ol water flushing up the legs problem. It's getting to be really annoying always having to reach down and give the wetsuit a shake while riding to get the water to drain out. The last thing i need at this time of year is freezing (relatively speaking) water hanging out around my legs.

I've heard some suggest cutting slits in the rear with a razor knife to provide drainage, but I'd hate to have to cut the material if I don't need to. Do I need to put little bungies or zip ties around my ankles or what? ](*,)

old school tip ,snip the edge of the cuff to relive it, holds water becouse its tight,so a little snip.

I know! And when both legs are full it's got to be adding at least ten pounds!
