100 degree rule means the drysuit takes a backseat to the wetsuit!
spring time sessions from that slippery event site grass is so fun, but that damn goose poop all over my kites!

Ron "Popsickle Toes" Bauer! I was gonna, cuz I forgot my booties, but Big Winds by way of Suds hooked me up on the beach! Thanx Big Winds, I'll waive my professional modeling fee from today.
Then D-krep made one of the best windsurfers in the Gorge cry cuz he looked so scary in his mask!(and even scarier without!  
Mitch was doing Woolyroo 1080's in the kiddie pool .
Then little Joe stole a kiteboard off the beach and kited upwind to Vancouver!
Then Ashton Kutcher shoved a microphone in Stringy's face and we all realized we were on Punk'd.

depending on how much you like to spend in the water, you might be able to get away with your 4/3. I'm using the pata 3mil but wear an undershirt for a little bit more warmth. I had a good crash on my skim and had to body drag for a bit. I can confirm you should wear a hoodie or beanie as that water is still a little cold.
nice writeup dangler. killn it on the segway

shiverme....This is the PNW not soCal  Get down to Promotion and pick up one of their 6/4 hooded suits for a deal and find some boots 
Spring is long here in the NW and the water will not be warming much for a few more months.
Us skinny guys gatta use our rubber wisely  |

Maybe you should invest in a new wetsuits. My 3/2 is all I ever wear. I do throw on an neoprene vesthoody on cold days, but the new 3/2s are warmer than my old 4/3s. Just got off the water with booties, gloves and my 3/2 with no under layer and I was toasty warm.

| hoarhey is more manly than I. 3/2 in sub-50 degree water doesn't sound like fun to me. I guess its fine as long as you don't get dunked much. Maybe I'll try the 4/3 next week when its 70 degree air temps. |
