Changing of the season thread.....

HAHA, bout another month of this and i'll be in my spring or 3/2, it's most cold from Jan - Mar

 

I was out for about 2 or 3 hours on long island last weekend in board shorts and a rash guard... you guys need to grow a pair...

 

Just wanted all of you guys to know that MVsurfer is alive and well after charging Oak Bluffs today via WaveJet gassed up with 116 octane racing fuel and wearing a 36/24/36mm Kevlar-lambskin wetty custom made by Sir Mix Alot's tailor. He also donned astronaut boots from NASA and his hands were cloaked by a combo of Michael Jackson's white glove and a catcher's mitt. In lieu of a hood, MVsurfer rocked Jim McMahon's headband formerly worn in the music video for The Super Bowl Shuffle.

When asked what prompted such an ensemble he replied:
"If Danny Way can jump the Great Wall of China and transitioning to a second ramp, I sure as hell can plow through P-Town like the King of Pop."

 

^classic classic classic

 

for yesterday...I was way over-suited. first off...i forgot my earplugs, so I had to wear a fricken hood so my ears wouldn't be permanently clogged with water after getting tossed around yesterday. second, i wore gloves...there was no need to wear gloves, but once you paddled out where I was, you didn't really want to come in and run them back to your car. third, i wore my new XCEL drylock 4/3....i had a boner to try it out. needless to say, it is WARM. i felt sweat beads forming on my back. gross.

 

Ahh you're just jealous because you don't get to be confused aboot what wetsuit to wear as fall nears winter and when spring starts to really arrive. Such maddening, complex, confusing times.........

Dude, should I wear gloves today?

Man, the water's kind of warming up, should I peel-down or detach my hood today?

3 mil or 4 mil or 5mil ....that is the question. Hey, I don't have a 4 mil....ahh man, now this is getting really confusing.

Ha, you warm weather folks miss out on all of this.

Cold people, when confused, find a peaceful spot and meditate and think: What would Wayne wear? You'll have your answer in two minutes........

 

It's cold today. But it was warm here in EMass yesterday. I'm so confused as a result!!! For all yous guys who had (may still have) the luxury of your madre dressing you before going out to the bus stop, what kind of socks and underoos should I wear in 38 degree temps if it's sunny and I'm spending most of my day no closer than 1/4 mile to the ocean? What if the NNW wind changes to SSW? What then? Do I change my shoes like Mr. Rogers and have a YouTube symposium about it? Where are the McAllisters going on their trip? Does this van get good gas mileage?

 

depends on the weather outside. Was out last week early AM session with a honkin NE, 4/3 did the trick with boots. Wish i just had some kind of head protection for that stiff breeze

 

Yesterday was all good without the gloves and hood. What a beautiful day... I'm not ready for the cold dark winter days ahead.

 

Some of you cats crack me up. Air's in the 40's, water's barely above 50 and you're talking about a 3/2 with no boots or gloves. How many layers of blubber do you have?

 

Not sure where you were at, but yesterday it was about 70 degrees...I wore a 3/2, no boots or gloves and I fine.
Slight layer of blubber, it is a beautiful thing to have for winter...keeps me extra warm.

 

Vb today all out hood gloves n boots. Was warm humanly but not air temp n winds were bad. No one out. Prolly only do long period canes swell. Guess I'm a kook for liking surfing and comfort. I'll b out tomorrow. Alone. Be a descent person and wait for the offshore winds. Wear protection. That cold wind man. It ain't the water. That wind man. It has been said and is to be respected. That wind man

Build a big wall And surf with wind block. That wind is he killer 3/2 guys. I did and watch a lot of cold fish float out there. Even yesterday. Haha better yet, don't wear a thing

 

^^^VB yesterday was sunny, air in 70s, water 56, and offshore breeze. Nice. Wore 4/3 with booties. Suit absorbed heat from sun. Had fun for an hour around lunchtime.
Today low 50s, choppy, and windy. I didn't get out to play.
