No drysuit on the slalom dude...that's hardcore. I got out for a ski this past Tuesday in NH (48 water/ 54 air). I'm curious...does colder water temps noticeably affect the ride or speed of the foil??

Drysuits are great at extending the season but... As for the foil and cold water, the short answer is yes. In general, the stock gear seems to work best for all conditions and require no to minimum adjustments. Those adjustments may be as simple as rider position or as complicated as adjusting shimming. A couple of us run hobbyist wings from Xtream and N2Orbit. What we've observed is the bigger the wings the more sensitive they are to cold water.
