    about another month would be my guess. assuming the water warms up quickly. of course, w/ all the snow melt becoming run off, it could take a while.

    So, at least the water is now on the upswing, temperature wise, right?

    Same here I only had nice off while waiting for waves. After awhile I left it on cause I was tried of taking it off then back on . I was sweating like a pig in my suit today. Got in the water at OCNJ at 11 am got out a 3pm . _th street was fun today . Lefts so long you the shoot you almost past the peir if your foot work is good enough.

    I took out my Noserider 2 today cause I dinged the Elevator yesterday . Gotta say The NR2 is a great board turns on a dime and I could have sat the nose with a beach chair I was getting suck long Noserides on that thing.:D

    i find my 4/3 works really well down to 40 or so...if the air had been warmer thru the bulk of the winter, i prob. wouldn't have broken out the 5/4/3 at all. i know guys who wear a 4/3 w/ attached hood all winter.

    Im breaking out the 4/3 in a couple weeks as well.Last winter I used it with the water temp at about 44 and air temp around 30.I actually prefer more flexibility even if im a little colder.Im going to try to drop the hood in about a month.Hopefully the water temp will be close to 50 by then.
