The problem is that is can get really really hot up north when the sun is shining. The water ay be in the 50's, but if the air temp is in the 90's and it is humid (which it always is up here), a dry suit is overkill. Rolling to stay cool every ten minutes is not my idea of fun either. I'll sometimes bring my drysuit along in case the weather gets rough for spring or fall paddles. I'd say, swim a bit in your get up and see if it is comfortable. -Patrick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
