drysuit safety reminder


Double check your zippers are closed before going out on the water! 48°F water scares the #@%$#! out of you pretty quickly when it's filling up you suit.



Too many kites, boards, and etceteras.

And wear a wetsuit under it if it's really cold. A torn/leaking drysuit is worse than no suit at all when you're stuck in deep water. For me 48°F = wetsuit anyway, it's safer and warm enough.

I have a dry suit and it's very comfy as long as air and water don't add to much above 100F. Mine fits snugly like a wetsuit. I wear a shirt and shorts under it.
