did it all last week in Hatteras...3/2 and boots, but up here I don't think i would try it just yet.
I'm in the Mid-Atlantic (OCMD, 46 water temp) and was out in a hooded 4:3 today w/ 3mm gloves and boots. I do not think I could have stayed out for as long as I did (an hour; sun was going down) in a 3:2. 3:2 w/ boots/gloves = short sesh, 3:2 w/o boots/gloves = no sesh. Sorry, gotta wait a bit longer for 3:2 temps.
Shed the gloves today, epic beach day, felt just right with the 4/3 and booties. Someguys were wading and swimming skinned it.
Yea i wore a 3/2 and didn't even wear gloves man. it was so nice out!! you should have paddled over to the other side of the jetty, i was over there by myself for 2 hours and i was having great time getting little head dips and practicing going switch.Quote:

It was so warm here this winter I 4/3'd it a few times on small days, with 5mil boots and gloves. Normally it's full winter regalia from the end of December to the beginning of April for me. Can't remember ever doing that before.
i am from now on unless the crowd isnt bad over at 1st. the wave there is just better in general, but the people here are retarded. when it's big/good/cold, its fairly uncrowded, but when its small (knee to waist) and sunny everyone in the town comes out. its complete kookery. to prove it even more, i took a right yesterday, a guy dropped in on me and went right and when he "attempted" to back out our boards hit each other and he got mad at me for it when clearly he messed up...some people here are so stupid its amazing.Quote:
