I made a typo in the URL for the cold water clinic in Minneapolis next Saturday. The correct URL is: <http://www.isk.canoe-kayak.org> I haven't been to one of these for a while, but they typically start with a lecture on the effects of cold water, after which people go on (and in) the water and practice rolls and rescues in their chosen gear. The first time we did this we were on the south shore of Lake Calhoun with a strong northerly cold wind that actually made the water feel warmer than the air! Nonetheless, those who came had a great time playing in the water. Those who had never actually tested their drysuits before were extremely pleased if not amazed at how effective they were. If I go (I have a couple of projects I need to finish before Monday) I might try to test my fuzzy rubber in various combinations, but I think I would need a warm sunny day for warming up between trials!
