Think you're tough?

after daydreaming about the wave for a few seconds, check out the guy about to paddle out. that's right biatches, no wetsuit in the dead of winter in Ventura. yeah, it ain't hardcore No-Cal, but that water is definitely in the mid-50's. don't know the guy's name, but I've seen him out a lot at Strand and Stabbles. the most amount of wetsuit I've seen him wear in maybe 4 years is a springsuit when the water got pretty DAMN cold back in Jan07-ish. A SPRINGSUIT when everyone else, myself included, was running to the local shop to buy new 4/3's, booties, hoods, gloves, etc. plus the guy charges good size Strand! He's what surfing needs more of. Or maybe we should have greater appreciation of the guys back in the 60's surfing California winters without wetsuits. so every time someone complains about the cold water in So-Cal, again myself included, you need to STFU! peace
