Wetsuit storage over the winter?

It seems to me that my wetsuit manual recommended storing it laying flat.  So I keep mine laid across the top of my tents, sleeping bags, etc on a shelf in my basement.

The best thing for them is to lay flat and unencumbered.  I lay my wetsuits under the spare bed.  If I didn't have that option, I would hang them up (on a wide shouldered coat hanger).  I would not take Megan's advice...

Emilio Desoto from Desoto wetsuits highly recommends soaking your wetsuit before putting it on after long periods of non-usage.  So store it flat or folded but remember to give it a good soaking next spring before you struggle into it for the first time.   They do hold moisture for a long time but definitely remember a good soaking anytime it's been awhile since you've used it, you can define awhile for yourself.  I'm usually racing every 2-3 weeks with maybe an OWS in between so a "pre-soak" is not needed much in season.
