    I go raw dog as long as possible. Water 71 air mid 70's yesterday. I was the only person out in trunks. Everyone rockin full 3/2's? Not sure why? I was loving life for two 3 hour sessions, never got chilly... I just don't get it.

    I saw at least five people out in Virginia Beach yesterday with fullsuits on. It was even warmer here - 75 air / 75 water. I don't get it either. I think people just assume it's cold because fall is coming.

    20 years of ski boots have caused many of circulation issues for my little piggies. My toes go numb when I go out for a run when it's below 60. I'll probably be throwing on the booties today with the upwelling. Water will probably be in the high 50s by the afternoon.

    Saw same thing this past weekend at VB. I like to delay having to get back into the rubber for as long as possible.

    Not going out tomorrow, but I'm still sticking with the wetsuit top and boardshorts for a while. I have a funky tan on my neck because of my wetsuit top... it looks like I'm wearing someone else head.

    Good bro. That was a smart buy. If it's form-fitting, should get you past Thanksgiving. Dare you to piss in it first sesh. You won't.

    Be wise and pick up a few bottles of Rip Curl Piss Off.

    So you scrub them at 180mph? Bro, the first few months of a brand spankin wetty I clean it with the shampoo after every sesh. It's ceremonial and just smells damn good.
