i've noticed that a lot of you guys ride in the winter, is this just because your all in florida and its warm? or is it because you just brave the cold and go out anyway? Im in norcal and my lake is really cold.

nosadeoignarus, yes our lakes tend to get colder than the east coast ones.....the answer is a wetsuit

the water i rode in norcal today was ~49 degrees. I couldnt have done it without a dry suit. Where do you ride at nosadeoignarus ?

i agree with scott a. i had to pull out my dry suit like chris b today. i coulda used a regular wet suit but why not be warmer...

deltarider500, or before, if enough people are interested. Dry suits don't bother me at all.
