The North sea at GT Yarmouth is currently experiencing 12 knot SE winds,its about 2 deg C
my son has just rang to say that he is going kite surfing in those conditions

It’s because their balls retract so easily into their bodies at that age….keeps them much warmer!...

I've certainly changed with age. I used to go white water canoeing in sub freezing temperatures with snow on the ground and ice still on the river.

These days I hate walking to work in those conditions.

I dream of being a snowbird and getting away from the cold all together.

Their brain hasn't connected with their appendeges yet.

I can relate to that, Nautical...used to whitewater canoe and kayak in icewater, too. Sailed my Hobie 16 with a wetsuit in the winter. Not now. Heck, I even moved where it never gets below 70 degrees F. I'm happy to leave that hairy, cold-weather stuff to the kids now.

Strange Mark....at that age, my appendages were the only thing my brain was connected to......Happy New Year!

I say encourage him do it now, cause he isn't going to want to do it in 20 years.
