Cold Water Kiters

Sooo how many cold water kiters are out there? I honestly cannot wait til it drops below 40F so I can wear my 6/5/4, booties,hood, gloves and if it gets below 30, my face mask... Love the sound of ice crystals beneath the board, surely I cannot be the only one?? :D

I don't know I'm more of the wear a rash guard/board shorts on a 90 degree day with 75 degree water type guy............ Cold water kiting sucks when it gets too cold, your just trying your best to not get dunked.

Artem, even in 34F water you still have to flush lol, its just BRISK BABY LOL.... I have enough gear to keep me out until the water is stiff and even then I might go just to swim... First on, First Off the water is my thing... The line got stuck on a rock lol was 19F that day!
