Has been a great winter season thus far. Here is some footage I took from Matunuck, RI this past Saturday.

10-4 on that!!!
I remember the days I would go out this time of year. Air + Water temperature combined must be > 100 F.
Now I can't even think about putting on a wetsuit below > 130.
Kudos.
P.S. The worse part of the day was always getting out of the wetsuit. It ALMOST took the smile off your face  |

Got one!
I'm just not as resistant to the cold as I used to be. Sad but true. I also have had a hard time in extreme heat ( episode of Supra Ventricular Tachycardia)'
I've had all kinds of test done to try to get it figured out, still more tests to come.
I figured I'm just getting old. Not everyone ages the same. |

"Dry suit = sinker"?
I've had to deflate mine (many since 1982) to avoid bobbing like a cork. |

Better to bob like a cork than to rip, fill with water and sink like a rock!
My best suit was a custom fitted BodyGlove 5/4 which worked well for the air/water >100F along with hood, gloves and boots.
I guess my tolerance has changed. I feel it takes too long to get my body core temp back up. |

Looking good out there, Lars! Was a great day and a great time! I had some of my most epic crashes that day.
