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."
