how long will my 4/3 get me?

[jcyr2]

I surf in RI I was just wondering this is my first winter surfing how long will a 4/3 with boots gloves and a hood get me? December?

[In the Soup]

whole winter if your 4/3 is newer and ur boots and gloves are atleast 5mil. I use that set up with a vest under my 4/3 when its really cold

I wore my 4/3 with 2mil hooded vest 5mil gloves and boots till late December early January in ny.

according to this website: http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/dsdt/cwtg/all.html, about till thanksgiving. i have a feeling that trying to do the full winter in a 4/3 in RI wouldn't be so enjoyable, esp. if you go out on the colder, windier days.

Njsurfer how long does yours take you?

i dunno, up there itll probably take you till december if the weather holds up the way it has been. if its colder, you'll either have to sack up or buy a 5/4 or whatever amount of rubber you think you need

Njsurfer how long does yours take you?

depending on the weather, early december or whenever the water finally dips below 40.

yeah i surfed a few times in February in RI and wouldn't have been out there too long in a 4/3. I bet the 4/3 would get you to December though. I use a Hyperflex Flow hooded 6/5/4 with 7 mil oniell boots and 5 mil hyperflex lobster claw gloves. keeps me nice and toasty in NE winters.
