In Response To: Other: sad news, Doug Tompkins died in kayak accident (david koslow)

I do not know Doug, but my condolences go out to him, his family and friend's.

As I am new to this sport,and this is a unfortunate accident that I will learn from.

Living in south east Michigan the weather has been fair and I have been thinking of going out for a spin. I am having second thoughts about that.

I thought I saw a post before about the combine temperature of air and water should equal 120*?

At what point do you start wearing a wetsuit?
