weighing in at a solid 142 pounds, yours truly totes a 5/4 in the winter and a 3/2 currently. You must have some solid-ness to you if you can manage a 4/3 year round...but i definitely would steer away from saying that delmarva isn't that cold, or that you can surf in a 4/3 year round!!! BS!! It gets pretty damn cold, unless that's you in the winter coat taking pics when its 17 degrees air temp in the morning while i'm getting shacked.
Water is still much warmer than I expected, with the north winds it should bring it down a bit.
As for the people doing a 4/3 all year long, you must have a good 4/3, In Jersey Late Dec, I could not make it very long in my 4/3. I guess maybe its time for a new one
Surifng year round in a 4/3 is possible, i used to do it when i was younger. Then i finally broke down and got a 5/4 one year, and havn't looked back since.
Lately ive found that wearing a little bit thicker suit than i used to keeps my energy levels up, allowing me to surf longer even though i also have to deal with decreased flexibility.

right now still is trunks and a sleeveless vest
im gonna call BS on you. if you live up north than you would defiently need at least a 4/3 or up. but if you only surf until the wter gets to like 56 or there with no offshore wind then okay but after that you would be bsing all of us.Quote:
