Some ice from a sunday morning jaunt up into the hills

Saturday...-8C by the time it warmed up mid day, wind SW around 20kts at the most...short fetch...Winston and i cruised out for what we thought would be some fairly insignificant waves. Wetsuit..check...booties...check...mitts.........i had mine, Win on the other hand, had left his at home. He sported 2 pairs of extra neoprene liner socks as mitts instead...our feet may have suffered a bit. Trudge down the trail through the snow. Water looks cold, rocks covered in ice. Had to be colder than -8C...water somewhere just above freezing, not bad looking waves though. Waves built to about chest high at its peak during the afternoon....pretty rad when your expecting ankle slop....long rides...frozen feet, out of the water after two hours... dark....painful change out of the wetsuits....stoked.
