Wetsuits – Hmm, no easy answers…
…but I sure appreciate all of them. I really need to give this more thought. I’m not paddling surf or whitewater, just some flatwater – the Charles, Concord, Assabet and Sudbury Rivers – hopefully by mid to late March. I really do plan on staying close to shore, and the wetsuit or drysuit would be my contingency if I somehow managed to flip my 25" wide Acadia (I’d probably have to stand up in it to flip it!). Still, I understand that the reason you wear a wet/dry suit is for the unexpected. Sing, you live near me. Could you send me your phone # by e-mail and I’ll give you a call to discuss this in greater detail? Thanks to everyone for replying – good information I need to digest for awhile.
Good Idea
Talk to Sing and possibly Sanjay by email to get good advice on your local waters.
