Water temp is at around 15 degres here in the North of Portugal now. I am still using my 4x3 fireskin with booties (more for protection from a certain spikey fish); once it gets around 17 degrees I will get into my 3x2 elasto... needs to be above 18 or hot and sunny for me to get into the Boardies :wink:

A 4/3 in 15 degrees celsius? That's downright tropical.

I'm wearing my 3/2 in 45 fahrenheit (7 celsius) over here in New England.

You obviously don't know what tropically is... 7 deg C...put something warmer on or move mate before you develop some testicular disorder :wink:
