In the summer, the best is to sail at Sant Pere Pescador with southern thermal winds.

Forum: Windsurfing Discussion Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2008 12:23 pm Subject: Boots over or under wetsuit? |
I use booties in spring and late fall.
I noticed that, when I wear the booties over my wetsuit, my legs inflate like water baloons after a while.
This is aggravated when I pee .
Any thoughts? |

Hello everyone.

I sail in NJ, but by the end of September you would probably do OK with a shorty. The water stays warm so I use a 3/3 with short sleeves until mid October.
In April, the water is freezing. I use a 5/ ... |
