NJ|PA Crew season opener

[SurfRider]

The NJ|PA Crew is planning their season opener ride for March 19, 2011, weather permitting of course. The plan is to launch from Tuckahoe, NJ (out of the head of the river) and ride down to the bay and maybe hit the cove (dredge).

How was the ride?

It was cancelled due to the weather. It was very windy (the bay can get really rough) and was colder than predicted earlier in the week. They are going to keep shooting for the "next Saturday". Right now the weather is looking even worse for this next Saturday, so I guess we will just have to see what pans out.

You're right, this coming Saturday doesn't even look to hit 40 degrees air temperature. I usually wait until the water temperature is consistently 50 degrees which usually means mid April here in Central NJ.

Well it depends if you have a wetsuit, boots & gloves or not. I went out last Friday when the air temp was around 74*. I got really wet and was no problem at all. The water temp was 42*. I only wished that I had more time to ride than I was able...

Most definitely a wetsuit and boots. 50 degree water = full wetsuit, 60 degree water = shorty wetsuit

that was the day to get out there wish i could have..where did u go out of?

I launched out of Rumson. I was hoping that you would have picked up the VXR. It is not far from where you got it (5 miles?) and we could have broken that puppy in for you.
