Jack said:I have never participated in frostbite racing, but would like to. I have heard that a wetsuit under foul weather pants and a spry smock top is one option. But I am not sure. I used to surf all year here in VA in a 3/2 or a 4/3 wetsuit with boots, gloves and a hood. I don't have a dry suit. I do have wetsuits and foulies. I'm just wondering if this is a real possibility or if the only way to do it is in a dry suit (water stays abve 45 around here in the winter; the air temp is anybody's guess).
