Dude you are brave, you must of froze your nuts off!! lol

How cold was the water? i know here in ajax its still only sitting at 40 to 43. what gear were you wearing? i seen you were sporting shorts. i've been debating on taking mine out...but man i can handle dropping into that water. Video was awsome too! what type of camera you use?

Thanks

haha yeah the water was cold but definitely worth it, not to sure what the exact temperature was. I was wearing a top half wetsuit, lifejacket, gloves, boots, bathing suit and a coat made by a company called jettribe, so all that made it easier to deal with the cold weather. I like to get as much out of the season as possible. Thanks! I used a GoPro Hero2, great camera you can mount it pretty much anywhere.

good deal. here in PA (USA) we've been out 3-4 times. any time it hits 70 and sometimes 65.

I was sporting a wet suit though... water was up to 60. the USGS has a web site where you can see the river temp near me.
