as nor cal warms back up I've been wondering what is the temperature where i put the wetsuit away for the summer.my lake's temperature is 60 degrees and i don't want to jump in and be like oh sh*t that's cold.so basically what is the coldest water you will ride in without a wetsuit.

Two months ago, I went to OWC and it was low 60 degrees. It was right at 60 the weekend before and with a week of high 60-low 70 weather, they predicted it to be 62-65 range. I skinned it and it wasn't bad AT ALL. The first drop was 'Oh man' then after that, it was actually nice.

We finally started riding last weekend here in Norway, the water temp were around 38. And still ice on the water. Here´s a video, only wakeboarding though.
