This picture is from a day in late March 2001 at Indian River Inlet. 40 mph NW winds, 30 degree air temp with wind chill at 10 degrees, water temp at 40. Most definitely a hood.
dam!.... sweet pic..despite the d!ck dragger on it...... I surf with a 4/3 during winter..3 hours sessions no problem. The feet are usually the first to go anyways (for me)...once you get that dead club foot and can't feel the board..time to go home and smoke a fatty! 4/3 has to be good quality..waiting on my psycho freak right now...it's in the mail! 4.5/3.5....cha..ching! so i should be even warmer with the extra 1/2 a millimeter...strange to think that that even makes a difference.
seriously...Delaware/OCMD sessions in through october and into mid november for me are 3/2 NO booties No gloves. Best time of year...water dropping through the 60s into the upper 50s means a nice light wetsuit, lots of offshores and consistent chest high swells and none of that heavy rubber.
should of gone with a rip curl. free repair for many years. i've owned every brand, and they all fall apart. rip curl fixes for free. yipeee!!!
Yes it is. And it was definitely taken by ken wood. Josh Coffield and I were out alone for a few hours before anyone else showed up. Funny thing is, I was riding an old school mach 7-7 due to me selling all my boards in Barbados. I was waiting on a new ballistic custom as the swell hit.
I prefer to drag balls. I'll stand up when it gets big though, which unfortunately does not happen on the east coast.
yous guys are a bunch of magoons and gangaloons worrying about your rubber. ONLY rubber I worry about is the one on my dinkledork. Get real, you crazys cant surf in the winter, thats just silly.
