Who said anything about warm weather?? Image http://www.capemaybeach.com/ice1.jpg For more about kayaking with icebergs in a sit-on-top..... http://www.capemaybeach.org/icepaddle.html Kayaker William McArthur doesn't need no stinkin' warm weather, thank you very much! As for those that spend all their time *in* the water as opposed to on an open boat: "Narragansett, Rhode Island- Air and ocean water temperatures could not have been better for 38th Annual New England Mid Winter Surfing Championships, held today, at the Narragansett Town Beach. 30-40 knot northwest blasts cut the wind chill to slightly below zero, and the ocean water temperature of 32 degrees, added to the overall cold factor. There were occasional snow flurries that fell during the final heats." http://www.nesurfari.com/blog/2006/02/19/more-on-the-midwinter-championships/#more-571 whimper......
