From: http://www.keywestkiteboarding.com/id1.html Nice shots great, looks like a fun session. I noticed the guys were in full wetsuits. This time of year with northerly frontal winds I would have one on too, always have. I had a discussion going with guys in Miami a while back who felt baggies maybe a shorty work pretty much year round. If you're going out year round particularly in stronger fronts and for hours, I felt full suits were a natural. What works in Key West for longer sessions in frontal season? |
Great shots ~n~ Love that Florida Mountain in the back~round :p

When you live here, you get so used to warm conditions, that when a front hits and the temp drops, it is best to be prepared and suit up, I use either a 3mm spring suit or in the "colder" days a mojo 3mm full suit from Hyperflex . That wonderfull mountain in the background is the old waste site called affectionately "mount trashmore" .

Makes sense to me. I can recall freezing my butt off in a full 4/3 in Islamorada in a powerful front many years ago during a all day session. I think the guys in Miami were thinking of shorter sessions for east to southeasterly winds. A honking strong NW or even NE wind can sometimes get real cold particularly if you're out for hours.
