I went out at Lyle, it was fun to get out but I forgot my hood -DOH! which made my head really cold which strangely enough, but not that strange when you think about it, made my hands get cold even faster. My session was stupid short because hy hands were blocks of ice.

Were you riding in the Klickitat or above the sandbar? I guess it's cold, regardless.

I was fine in both the Klickitat water and the water above the sandbar. 5/4/3 Hyperflex Amp with integrated Hood (2nd Wind has these for less that $200 I think), 3mm gloves, and 3mm Hyperflex booties (which are awesome) when I wasn't in my boots. I was actually hot. When I was riding boots my feet got numb.

Was on the water for about 2 hours.

Lyle is closed until the end of April. Please don't fuck up the access there. We already have enough problems with the RR. There are plenty of other places to kite this time of year.
