    Two weeks ago, I would have said booties would be a good call. Now, no way. Then again, when I went out two weeks ago, the water was 10 degrees colder than it is now, so that makes sense. I wasn't wearing booties then, and my feet got totally numb within 5 minutes.

    Booties would be more harm then good now. Let those toes hang free!

    depends on where you live obviously... This was posted in the Northeast Forum. Where do you live mass surf?
    In Delaware, where I am, we are already in Spring Suit or 3/2 at the most weather.

    Yeah, wear em! I'm wearing mine with boardshorts and long sleeved rash guard. Trying to mix up the look a bit, plus it keeps the leash out of between my toes.

    Please wear this next time you're out. And I hope to hell you weren't out this morning. It was ugly.

    Yeah, I was out. It was up and down, up and down, I paddled from the right side to left and was able to stay in front of where my car was parked. Waves coming fast, I didn't care! No other kooks to worry about and I got a healthynappetite after the workout. I didn't even care about the chill wind today...I was out with my Lotus motif old school boardies loving life son! :)

    Nope. The real question is wetsuit or no wetsuit at this point. For the last 2 weeks, 70degrees and over and I've been rockin the boardies with no problem.

    water feels amazing right now. I wore a spring suit, but definitely could have trunked it. Its about 70 in Delaware.
