Can you tolerate the cold?

That is crazy! Just a barefoot suit in 4X water? Unfortunately I don't remember you posting the pics, otherwise I wouldn't have said anything.

Hollywood,

If you recall I have pics posted on here with the date showing on them december 8th. I can re post them. That day the air temp was 40 and the water temp was 42 degrees according to the temp gauge in the boat. I am just that crazy. Usually only make it out once in November, after the 15 deer sean gets in the way and sometimes ice.

Backfoot, I would love the dry suit but no one will go with me once I need that, they say it's to cold. Wished a couple of you guys lived closer.

Jim, you're in MI aren't you? You better have a drysuit if you plan on skiing in November. I could get by with a full length wetsuit into early Oct. when I lived in WI., but the drysuit was definitely needed after that. I have skiied into Dec. and we would try to get back on the water in late March. Water temp was 38 and the air temp was 36 on the coldest conditions I've been out. Let me tell you, that was freakin' cold. Snow was still on the shoreline of the lake. I'll never do that again.

The wet suit is for barefooting and ski after November.

Last night in upstate NY on owasco lake 85 degrees, water temp 71-72, and ten square miles of glass to ski on all to ourselves. Over at Bowen's ski pond down the road the water was 78... won't last long though coldfront coming through today.

I pull out the wetsuit for boarding/skiing at about 66 degrees water temp, or for extended wet boat sailing on cold days no matter what the water temp.

Take a look at Link.

They have great prices on wetsuits and booties.

Yeah... Milwaukee's 57 degrees right now and I don't think it's going to break 65 this weekend

Only put it on for barefooting. Never due to cold.
