I went out yesterday!! It was all good except the driver of the boat thought it was funny to leave me in the water while he is messing with the radio..

man i'm a little older now, my full 3/2 is 11 years old. i just remember last time i rode in cold water i was pissed. i used to ride 12 months a year regardless.

well, regardless, i rode the other day in a 3/2 full with 39.2 degree water temperature and 70ish air. the only reason i stopped riding was because my feet started hurting really badly. but, i had a blast.

I'd vote 'yes' on the spring suit for sure, but a top piece would work work for me in a pinch.

thankfully it's getting warmer and i'm about to try and skate the bayou soon. (it's very concrete and super sketch for my no-talent ass lol)

rode today here in dallas. Full wet suit and neoprene socks. Not worth it. Still wayyyyy too cold.

water was 74 and the air was 84 down here in cold south florida. I could barely stand topping it Smash

If the weather is in the 70s there's definitely some shred going down. I've rode 57 water 55 air no sun all clouds in a springsuit but you warm up quick body heat. I got a fullsuit now though and 50s are fine no problem at all.

rode bare back Sunday 56 degree water air about 75/76 ish. Wasn't too bad just took your breath away when you fell. But hey more motivation to land everything!
