I used to use the 100 degree rule, but now am up to 110. I can't imagine 80 degrees
. I don't think the water temperature here has ever dropped below 50 to my knowledge. So I usually don't kite when the air temp is below 55 or so. I guess I'm just getting thin-skinned from living here in Florida for 50+ years.
Keep warm!!
