Oh how I relished my new wetsuit last fall as air and water temps dipped below 70F. Now with water temps climbing into the upper 60's I'm surprised to find I'm the first guy in the line up out in board shorts. After a winter of consistently 50-55 water temps, 68 doesn't feel near as cold as it did last fall and I've been desperate to be free of the heavy, constraining, strangling feel of my wetsuit. The thought of putting it on again makes me feel claustrophobic. I can barely imagine that there are people who live in climates that demand a wetsuit year round. Maybe it's my imagination but I paddle faster and ride more freely without it on.
So as of now I hate my wetsuit... until next winter when it's the only thing that allows me to feed my surf addiction without suffering hypothermia... then I'll love it again.
Stay Stoked,
DH
