Ok, I got me a used Wave Sport Ace 4.7 to enjoy the sport and have had
a couple of pool sessions. They have been great.

I'm in the mid-west, so it's still really cold and I need some clothing
advice.

I have plenty of clothes and understand how to layer for my beloved
Mtn. Biking, but I'm truly clueless when it comes to what I need to
enjoy this sport without freezing to death.

I probably won't be doing a lot of Winter down river runs, but will
definetly be doing spring through fall runs.

As a matter of fact, I'm going to be heading out to Colorado and Utah
in mid-May, so I really need to get some gear to enjoy the trip. Moab
won't be bad (85-90 degrees), but Colorado will still be quite cold.

Thanks for all the advice!
