    Dear mr barrel

    I live in Belmar NJ


    Maybe you have heard. It's the best break around the east coast.


    Right now my wetsuite is a 3/2. It's actually an old 3/2 suite since the water is still warm here.

    You didn't need to go back before Tuesday to find a tread just like it. See, even in '06 cats were still asking the same repetitive questions here. Micah - we need STICKIES at the top of the forum. You did it with your rules, now do it with our FAQ and Glossary.

    Dune, sic post.

    if i had a 3/2 probs a 3/2, but i don't so a 5/3 dawn patrol that's super leaky and some 3mm booties sometimes, depends on offshores, the previous day, time of day, and of course surface temp that is less than realiable on the buoys, yous just gots to pays attention...no firckin gloves or hoods yet, thems for percys
