Surfed Monmouth County NJ today in a new sealed 3 ml, no gloves and 3 ml boots. Was absolutely sweltering and had to keep flushing the suit to cool down. 2ml is a good call. I'm gonna move down to my super leaky 3ml Oneil heat.
I went out thursday after work in a 4/3 with boots. Maybe if it's 90 tomorrow. I caught a nasty head cold that's moving into my chest. Might be a day or two until I get out. However, I ususally wear a 3/2 well into june, and my 1 mil top most of july.
First day trunking it in VB today and it felt great. It was a high of 93 degrees tho so maybe wetsuit next time.
i can't wait to get out of my suit after a long winter and am much more comfortable skinning it rather than keeping any rubber on. i usually go trunks and a 1mm top at around 63 depending on air temps.
saw some tool driving around all day long checking every street in ocnj. booties and a hood. dry. come on man. just pick a spot and freakin surf...or don't....but you could tell that guy hadnt been in the water in a whiiiiiile.
Do it? I trunked last saturday when it was 58 and lasted a good 20-30 minutes, but i wasn't exactly warm
trunked (bikinied) it for about a half hour this morning in delaware...i had to try it because the air was so warm! i was on my 9'0 though...definitely would not have made it as long if i was on a shortboard. i think a springsuit is the way to go right now...
Trunkin' it on OBX this past weekend for the first time. Ahh summertime is on its way!! It felt great to finally shed that heavy a** body armor.
I decided to dive in today w/ boardies just to mess around (MonC). Surprisingly it was a lot warmer than I thought. Probably somewhere from 63-65. I stood in for like 20 minutes just body surfing without being cold whatsoever.
went out from about 11;30 to 3;30 i was burning up in my 3/2. my best friend, and i longboarded the whole early afternoon. i met him out there. he was just in his 3/2, i brought some boots, and my 3/2. kept the boots on that whole session. got out, and met another buddy of ours at around 4;00. he brought us some hero's, and we had some lunch, and we went back out with him, and his son around 4;30. i lost the boots, and i'm a ***** with my feet. like i said i'm more reluctant to lose the boots than the suit sometimes. i surfed until after 8;30 with no boots. it felt good. i could have trunked it if i wanted to. another favorite reason to just trunk. it's so much easier! i love trunking when i realize how much time i waste putting the suit on, taking it off, dragging, and dripping wet all through the house. can't wait to trunk. next week for sure if the weather stays like this. next week until october. mid october would be great like last year. also saw some dudes just taking a dip today. they shivered for a minute, but then they seemed good. saw a couple 4/3's today, and they didn't last too long before that got hot, and miserable, and left. saw a lot of the smaller spring suits too.
caught a day in rodanthe a couple weeks back where gulf stream pushed in and was more than trunkable.
sufers supplies in OC NJ is predicting the water temp will rise to 67 or higher this weekend due to this swell coming in. Lets hope it actually gets that warm!!
got some marginal surf midtown ocmd tuesday am. wore my 2mil short arm, definitely could've trunked it...
