| There may be days in the spring that are 70 and sunny but the water may still be in the 30s so I err on the side of caution and accept that I will probably get hot. Of course I can always dunk myself to cool down!\\ | There may be days in the spring that are 70 and sunny but the water may still be in the 30s so I err on the side of caution and accept that I will probably get hot.

| - | I **coolest air temp that I have done a downwind was a sunny day in the upper teens**. If it is cloudy I generally won’t do a run colder than about 25 F. The problem becomes icing, I particularly worry about ice in the rudder line guide tubes. I have driven to launch only to find the rudder lines frozen inside the guides. I have shoved the stern end of my ski into my van to thaw the lines. Once I am in the water it is fine but if was really cold I could imaging them freezing up. This is why I recently picked up board surfing {{https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/15.0/1f3c4_200d_2642_fe0f/72.png?nolink&|🏄♂️}}, so I could enjoy the waves no matter how cold it gets!\\ | + | I **coolest air temp that I have done a downwind was a sunny day in the upper teens**.
