Warm enough in the UK for a 3-2 wetsuit yet!?

Have a chat about any general surfing related topics.

Defo agree with DBBB - surfing the Channel is way colder than N.Devon.
I wear a 5mm all year coz I'm a combination of a total wuss and a total cheapskate!!!!
And DBBB - when you say the 5mm is done for the year I think what you mean to say is that its done forever!!!

Couldn't imagine needing a wet suit in May. Our dawn patrol report was.
