    Smile Time to Shed Some Rubber?

    I know the water temp is still low, but I got out yesterday just to goof off in a 3/2 but still with gloves/booties/hood combo.. wasn't a bad 2 hours!

    Keep these air temps up and pretty soon we'll be able to lose the hoods... but not quite yet!

    Anything warmer than the last few months... whenever it feels good enough to lose a layer

    No hoods!

    I am not sure where you guys are from, but in delaware we dropped the hoods and the mils! My set-up now is 4/3-3 mil boots, 5 mil gloves and a couple guys had 3/2's on. The sun has been cooking with these west winds. I do believe the water temps are behind schedule and still seasonably cold.

    Whatever you're comfortable in. Some people have a tolerance for the cold, others don't. If you try it, and you're fine... Surf in a 3/2 with boots and gloves. Less restriction. If you're cold. Put the 4/3 or 5/4 back on.
