Anyone mad out there.....?

Out at Praa Sands on the weekend and saw two guys with NO BOOTS OR GLOVES?! Crikey Moses, It's January folks, waters freezin'!

Anyone out there mad enough to go without like these barking chaps? My mate never wears boots or gloves, and he's in regularly. Says he's got a custom Snugg suit and it keeps him warm enough....but still!

Well....not that crazy but never slipped on the boots, hood or gloves until mid december...soon as the water temp comes back to around 9-10, then off they come again!
