Yup. My brain was slowly shutting down its operations as I was upside down... But coldest of all would be Greg, spending more than 10 minutes in that water... He swam alright, but I think it's Dave who should drink from the river boot, as it was his boat, and there were no air bags in it...

The worst part is that Greg wasn't even surfing the 2nd wave, he was on the much smaller one behind. And that's where I flipped too in my last surf. So we should all have been surfing the big wave instead of the smaller ones...

I had a neoprene hood as well, as can be seen on those pictures.
Still cold for the exposed parts.
Christian had a good portion of ice cream, with a thin polypro hood.

Thanks Larry.

Louis: I was wearing a 3mm diving hood, the type designed to fit with a dry suit works well with a dry top.  No ice cream headaches, but it's hard to hear anything.

Nice pics.
Thanks Larry!

Although difficult at first, I got more and more the hang of my big beluga.
Feel more confortable river running with it now.

Good afternoon for me!!!
Although kind of cold for the head when inverted...
