    aight gangstas,
    I'm in the market for a new hot top, as the water in vee bee has finally warmed up. However I'm unsure whether to go with a 1mm, 1.5mm, or 2mm l/s hot top. I have an oneil, but the thing is slam wore out, and I can't tell/don't remember what the thickness is anymore. Don't want to go too thin, but I'm afraid that I might burn up in a 2 mil. What have y'alls experiences been? Looking for water that is in the mid 60's on 80-90 degree days.

    Split the difference and go 1.5mm. As long as it's not too windy you should be fine.
