Surfriding At what temp outside and water does everyone pack it up for the season?

Im from Boston MA and the waves are always great in New England during the fall and winter. Wondering if anyone rides all yr around here. Gets as cold as 0 degrees F in winter with water temps probably 38 degrees.

most ppl on here will tell u if the water isnt frozen theyll ride in it. ive been out in febuary in jus a 4/3 wetsuit, gloves, booties, an hood. im sure its alot better with a 6mm suit but i lived

If the air is atleast 60 degrees, i'll ride. Usually things such as broken gear and school/priorities cut my seasons short before the weather does.

When the lake freezes. I have been out in 36 air temp and 36 water in lake Michigan. Done a few new years day rides.

was it even enjoyable and what did you wear for a suite?

My coldest ride was 50 ish outside and water was in the mid 40's. Not very much fun. Hurts the head and face when going under a bit. But as long as the air temp isn't so cold as to freeze up throttle and steering cables I guess.

I use the 100 degree rule for flatwater and 110 for surf.

If the air and water add to 100 I'll ride flat and won't get wet.
If the air and water add to 110, I'll ride waves.

Going to hook up my heater system in the next week or so (Canadian hand and foot warmers). Just run your spitters onto your hands and feet....awesome.

I rode in the snow here...never stopped last season. Skis were never winterized so had to run them atleast once a month lol

3/2 suit with booties and gloves. April is way colder water than October. I just try not to fall.

I used to pack it up when the lake froze completely across, until I found the surf, and now I never pack it up!

 

[Profound-Dynamics]

Im already packed up and have the ski winterized. For me, no waves = no fun. I guess you can say I am geographically undesirable at the moment :/
