Cold weather warm up

[gsseirik]

Hi guys. Do any of you know any good warm up drills for coldwater surfing? Do you warm up before you put on the 6mm wetsuit? Normally I just paddle out and get a little bit warm from that. I'm a bit afraid to burn of too much energy from push-ups etc. pre-surfing.

If I suit up at the car I get nice and warm, so the cold water feels colder. I usually put in my wetsuit halfway and wear rash guard, but wait until at the shore to put on my top, so the water doesn’t feel as cold. Maybe all in my head, but…

I do a few pushups, gentle stretches and a short jog before paddling out. It's also my time to study the break and watch other surfers.
