lol, isn't pipeline tropical all year round? the british waters don't touch tropical on the hottest of summers, yet many of us surf in boardies (atleast on the south coast)

"jezible"
Yes I am a pansy, and the North Shore is semi-tropical. The water was like 20something..brrr. Yes my nuts would be permanently lost.
Don't spend ridiculous money on wetsuits, just book a flight to a hot country!

Depends on what you call warm.
Yea, sunblock is a must. It may be cold (or hot depending on how far away form the equator you usually surf) in the water but the sun always burns! I find zinc is the best, but you look like a pillock.
