Headed down to Floras to stay at the B&B with my wife next weekend. She gets to relax and read and I get to work on my kite skills. Talk about a win-win! Only been there in September before.... whats the water temp in the lake this time of year? Trying to figure out what wetsuit to pack.

5/4. Water in low 50's keeps you warm when you come out between sessions!

Just came home from floras last night. Water temp feels like 65F but we still wore 5/3 suits. The air temperature can be cold if its windy.
Bring both warm and cold suits. Also bring long pants and a warm jacket.
But check the forecast first. If its not windy don't go, not fun to hang out in no wind.

Strongly emphatically disagree. Lot's of nature to keep our family entertained.

First of all I have no family. Only a girl friend who kites and some dogs.
For us hanging out at floras with no wind is like only skiing groom runs or only mt biking fire roads or only wind surfing flat water or waterskiing chopping water. I think you get the idea.... Very Happy

You got a girlfriend and a tent - what more do you need? $5.00 growlers.

Yes, 5/3 suit. Wish I had one of those $5 growlers last night at Santana (Maryhill). I drink wine like I drink beer. I have no class. Head hurts.
