Storm reborn, new wetsuit ready for it

Good sir, i think you and your 7 mil have forgotten it's September....

 

Dude that is actually incredibly dangerous. I hope you are joking. The water and air is WAY too warm for 7mm. You could very quickly overheat and die in the water.

The water temperature is in the mid-high 60's and the air temperature is going to be between 70-90 degrees over the next 4 days. Don't be crazy! You can very easily get away with board shorts.


I really hope you are joking. 7mm is overkill in the middle of winter. It is deadly at this time of year.




Wait, I'm starting to think you are a troll. You are the same person that was complaining about having to drive 30+ minutes to get to the beach on an island, as if an island that large has never yet been discovered.
Also, in one post you said "we need another Hurricane Bill". If you have been surfing long enough to remember Hurricane Bill, you know damn well 7mm will kill you.

 

And is the same person who has the two piece wetsuit that's like 20 years old, lookin like Scuba Steve and sh*t

 

I don't think it matters anymore. While I was out this morning I saw not one, but two people with fullsuits on in Virginia Beach. Water temperature ~76F.

 

He is in Martha's vineyard. kinda chilly up there.

 

It was probably a chilly morning, i've done that plenty of times here in late August/early September. Jersey gets mornings that are around 60 degrees or a little colder this time of year sometimes and i normally breakout the 3/2 just the keep my junk from shrinking to the point of disappearance

 

No it really wasn't. I surfed in trunks and it was over 70F air temperature at 7AM.

 

toasty supposed to be 50 degrees early Saturday with offshores! brrrr

 

A little, but not as bad as you'd think. I was still planning to rock the unsealed 3/2. There shouldn't be too much sitting on the board waiting around this weekend...all the action helps you stay warm. I'd rather be a tad chilly than hot.

 

Well considering 99% of the wetsuit guides show 6/5 or 6/5/4 working all the way down to like 39 to 42 degrees I think you are going to look like a kook but hey you paid $100 for it why not sweat your @ss off right? 7mil is crazy thick even for late fall up north. Forget about the suit and just wear trunks and a 1mil top.

 

apparently ,lots of folks seem to enjoy the restriction a wetsuit offers these days, when one is not needed. This guy is obviously yanking chains here,ive never used more than a 5 mil in the coldest new jersey winters

 

You can get a good wetsuit top for $75...

 

I'm speechless

 

Probably the biggest kook comment on here in years! Why have the paddling resistance when you don't need the warmth?

No, the absurdity of you wearing a 7mil wetsuit in mid September has overshadowed the swell.

 

Wearing a 7mil suit this weekend would be like using a shot gun to kill a mosquito.

 

Hmmm i really don't know. i guess temp really effects some more than others. That sounds like a trunks day to me in VA beach. And again, this guys wearing a 7 mil in September.....
