Doesn't this kinda pose a problem a mile off shore in january? We live in socal but the water is still pretty f'n cold in the middle of winter. I'm just wondering cuz I was looking into a drysuit to have as well as my waders. if its not necissary then that's great since they can be pretty pricey

Check Jim Sammons post on waders in the water, interesting maybe try it in a pool for yourself, also like they said respect your surroundings, you can always wear a wetsuit, I haven't tried it, sold all of mine but a friend of mine wears one in the cold, never asked him, what he does when he has to give back his morning coffee though...lol
