Freestyle Cold weather riding prep

[kylemx19]

I'm wondering what I will need to ride during the fall/winter in Florida.

What kind/ thickness of suit to use and other things that would be needed.

 

[Matt_E]

Shorts and a life jacket, I imagine.

Does FL winter riding count as "cold weather" riding?

 

[kylemx19]

It does get cold here.

It might be just me but, the water temp is fine but it's when you come out the water that is cold.

Let me guess, water temps in the 60's inland. Sounds like a dream for winter riding.

I just took the hobbie cat out today, I had a full 2mm wetsuit, and was perfect,

 

[kylemx19]

Thanks for the help.
I was thinking 2mm but wanted to hear everyone's input.

I wish I had that problem, here the water becomes solid, makes it hard to ride! haha

I bought an O'Neill Boost drysuit for those 40-50-60 degree days in the Winter for Houston. Water temps get into the low 50's but of course we don't have very cold weather compared to most of the country. Either way, if I'm going out I'm going to be comfortable and dry!

3/2 zipper less full suit with booties for me. Warm all winter in north Florida.

How do you put on a full suit with no zipper?

He must mean a 2 piece suit or else he sprays rubber on out of a can...

 

[AtomicPunk]

If you are riding year round a good 3/2 is plenty. On real nasty days (Daytona) I have worn a tour coat too.

 

[kylemx19]

Sounds good.
Any chance anybody has a medium/long suit for sale?
