    I've surfed my whole life....haha on the south east coast. I went to Jersey and surfed up there in the winter once NEVER AGAIN, It was so so so cold. More power to this guy and when says "Layer of fun" he isn't kidding. In FL I wore a 3'2 Mil and in northern states they where as thick as 5 Mil as well as booties, gloves, and hoodies. So so cold.
