RE: Cold Weather Paddling - What you need to know to get out there, comfortably!
Of course! That's why we wear all the good gear. A lot of the time I am actually surfing, so most of the time I am in the water. I've been surfing in 35degree weather and 34degree water and was fine in my 5mil hooded wetsuit, booties and mits. Sometimes I even get warm! With the proper gear, no unfrozen water is too cold!
I assume that's fahrenheit, cos 35C is quite balmy, but 1-2C is not. Lol, swimming in booties and mits just sounds so wrong though, but obviously I can see why it's necessary.
Yes, fahrenheit haha. It is definitely necessary to have booties and mits, they are neoprene and made for the water.
