Harden up and come and surf Bells this winter with me!

Would love to Simondo, did bells once when Winkipop was working, did most my surfing Phillip Is, gunnamatta, loved Lorne i just hated the cold and never surfed mid winter all the time i lived there

I'm just wondering how warm it is over your way!? Yep I wear a Ripcurl fleeced rashie for summer and I think its warm enough..for the summer. Out in a steamer 3/2 I think? and nearly put my booties on at half eight this morning when I got to the beach Brrr bit nippy

i was out at 7 am today and it was nice with just a rashie

water temp at the moment a mild 21-22 deg
"Where else but Queensland" [}:)]

I used my steamer today but if I had my springy that would have been well warm enough - most were in a springy whilst Sharpie was in boardies. Water is still very warm over here Kagey compared to the land of the long white cloud.

Was discussing this with Bulldog and BB a few days back came to the conclusion that at the moment the water temp over in WA is around 22 degrees , water temp in northern NSW / Gold Coast around 21 - 22 , water temp Tasmanian waters around 12 degrees

How's the water temp over in NZ Kagey I assume it is around the same as Tassie .

^^^^faaaaaaarrrrkkkkiiiinnnggg c co co o coo l coo ll d cold

Not so bad with the right gear Chrispy .

Bill has been out this week in just boardies , better man then me . I reckon where he is is probably 2 degress colder in the water to where I am .

With the rashies I have 1 long sleeved fleece lined , find the long sleeves can get a bit waterlogged making padding a bit harder , personally prefer the shortsleaves

^^^^
so BB would be in something near 10 degrees then , fark me that is polar he's got cods of steel that boy

Well Tassie its a touch warmer up here in Auckland as I just checked the charts and they said water temp 17.8 degrees. But I guess it felt colder initially as land temp is cooler at the start of the day I believe? which is why I thought of putting my booties on in the car park. Or there is the possibility i'm a soft c*ck

From what he was saying his cods were like steel after his surf .
But no other way round Bulldog I think it is 14 here 12 down south .

Kagey I chuck the booties on in the park as well cold sand is not nice 1 st up in the morning .
Anyway off to take the stepson from Brissie for a surf , I reckon he will last about 5 minutes , that's if he gets in

bb is just to cheap to buy a wettie

Hey chrispy did you see the web cam of the point at high tide today

I've got a thermal rashie. The fleecy style that was made by West. The shop at Lano is the only place i seen them and i have them for me and all the kids. Great to knock of the wind chill. I hate wearing a wettie if i don't have to and yes I'm soft
