DON"T GO if you won't wear a wetsuit. But if you must, wear wool because it will keep you warm even when wet. But bring lots of extra clothes you can layer in after.

http://www.mytraversecity.com/summer/listings.cfm?Type=18\n\nCheck out this website for canoe/kayak/tubing rentals in the Grand Traverse area.  The Boardman River (runs through TC) is supposed to be pretty nice, I think.\n\nTraverse City is about 45 minutes west of Torch Lake, depending where on the lake you are.

Sounds very cool, are you going to wear an immersion suit, or something to protect you from the cold water? Is the Zoar sport a "sit on top"? I like those best as it forces you to wear some kind of Cold water suit, and if you go over it's bum first, feet last to get back on. Take care, and don't forget to wear your PFD.

The waves are best in the summer, the dry season - June through September - when the tradewinds blow west along the legendary Bukit Peninsula (Uluwatu, Padang Padang, etc.) \n\nHowever, that's also the most crowded time of year and you'll typically find every spot, from Kuta Beach to Uluwatu completely packed with Aussies, Brazilians, Japanese, and American surfers, all trying to lock into some of that famous Indo juice. \n\nWith that said, you can try the winter months, the wet season, when the winds blow east. Then, lesser known spots along the east side of the island, especially in places like Sanur, start to fire. However, it rains a lot and there aren't quite as many great reefs as there are on the other side. \n\nIn the past, my friends and I have tried to go in May, which is just the beginning of the dry season and tends to be much less crowded. However, we've also gotten some pretty bad weather and crummy conditions...which makes it a semi-risky proposition. \n\nMy advice would be to go in May or June, and if the crowds start to drive you mad, hit the road. There are hundreds of nearby islands, including Lombok, which are chock full of great, uncrowded surf spots. Plus, traveling is half the fun.\n\nExplore. Have fun. PULL IN!!!\n\n(Before you go, get "Indo Surf & Lingo" by Peter Neely, as well as Periplus Action Guides' "Surfing Indonesia". Both are invaluable books and can be ordered from Amazon.)

Depends on the weather, although for the most part, Los Angeles is usually favorable at that time of year.\nA nice dress for the ladies, Perhaps a hat to set it off.\nMen, jacket and dress pants. open necked shirt. After all this is California. So casual, but a bit dressy.

Around Phoenix, the lakes on the Salt and Verde rivers are not bad for kayaking (Canyon Lake, Bartlett Lake, and Apache Lake).  On Canyon Lake especially, you have to watch out for water-skiers and jet-skis.  Apache Lake (half-way to Lake Roosevelt) is not too bad.\n\nIn northern Arizona, Lake Powell has some great kayaking if you go with a larger boat (houseboat, etc) to get into some of the side canyons.  Just south of Winslow is McHood Reservoir which backs up into Clear Creek Canyon (ie: you are paddling through a cliff-walled canyon).  This is a great little half-day trip.  Grand Canyon is great if you are an expert white-water kayaker, but it is very difficult to get permits and you would need support craft with you.\n\nMy personal favorite spot in AZ is doing the lower stretches of the Colorado River, especially the area above Martinez Lake near Yuma.  The dams make the river wide and slow (no rapids).  You can hire a tour boat at Martinez Lake to take you upstream and then float back down at your own pace checking out the beaches, old mines, and indian petroglphs along the way.  Best done in early spring or fall (too hot and too many speed boats in summer).\n\nDepending on your skill and how much snow-melt there is, you can sometimes get in nice white-water trips on stretches of the Gila (near Winkleman and Safford), Verde (near Camp Verde) and Salt Rivers.  Both the Gila and Verde have lots of rocks and overhanging trees, etc (I prefer small rafts or inflatable kayaks for them).

Obviously water temp and weather is major factor, as most people here have pointed out. Fairly obvious I think. \n\nBUT, there's more to it than that...\n\n1. Yes, boardshorts will give you the most freedom and flexibility. \n\n2. However, unless you're in the tropics with really hot conditions, some kind of rubber is usually nice. Even in Hawaii or Indo the wind can get chilly out in the water and a vest or long sleeve top can offer some extra warmth and protection. \n\nSpeaking of protection...\n\n3. Surfing is a rough sport. Not only do you have the bottom to contend with, you've also got a hard fiberglass surfboard that loves to smack into your arms, knees, and chest when you're learning to surf. \n\nQuick story:\n\nI grew up surfing in Santa Cruz, wearing a full wetsuit and booties all year round. I fantasized about moving to Socal or Hawaii and surfing in trunks. When I finally did move to San Diego, it was August and the water was really warm. I threw on my boardshorts and paddled out. \n\nWhat a shock!\n\nMy ribs got bruised and sore from lying on the board without those 3mm of rubber in between. My shins and knees got all banged up on the board. And  my thighs got all rashed up from rubbing on the rails. \n\nBottom line: rubber is great! The latest lines of wetsuits are so soft and smooshy and flexible, that flexibility has become almost a non-issue. \n\nI highly recommend wearing some kind of rubber, even if it's just a wetsuit top or springsuit. Long-sleeve springsuits are great because they're thin, flexible, keep you warm, keep you protected from nicks and bruises, and, unlike a short-sleeve springsuit, you won't get a farmer's tan on your arms ;)\n\nAnd, to bring it full circle back to the performance issue, that tiny extra bit of flexibility you get from wearing boardshorts is nothing compared to the confidence-boost you'll get from wearing some rubber. Just by being warm and comfortable and knowing that you're somewhat protected if you hit the bottom, that alone will get you to your feet quicker and surfing more aggressively. \n\nHave fun!

Depending on your financial situation here are a few suggestions.  l.  Go camping, its cheap and you don't have to worry what clothes to take.  2.  Water parks are a hoot if you have ever been.  3.  Again, if money allows, summer lodges are an absolute hoot and their price usually includes your food, entertainment and lodging and you are pretty well served on so all you have to do is enjoy.  4.  Another, if you drive, is just to take off and go wherever that vehicle takes you, you know, go with no plans and see where you end up.

The quick answer:  whatever fits your budget and feels best.\n\nEverybody's body is different, every manufacturer's suit is different. \n\nI would recommend this plan:\n\nDecide your budget (Prices range from entry level to oh, wow.)\nDecide your style of suit:\nDo you want full-length and fully sleeved (long john style) or sleeveless or a shorty?\nDecide the features that are most important to you.\nDon't forget to consider the lifespan of the suit as it relates to your "career" as a triathlete. A good entry level suit can get you pretty far.\n\nSo as not to be overwhelmed with choices, I picked three companies to look at: Orca (because of the hot guy in the ad, honestly), Blue Seventy (well-known) and Body Glove. Since I knew squat about any of them, it was as good a method of choosing as any. I also looked around on the internet for opinions about suits and these names came up quite often (very positively so, most of the time).\n\nSo I had my three companies.\nTHEN\nI set a budget and prioritized what I was looking for. \n\nSince I am short (5'0) and female (XX) I prioritized my needs like this:\n\nABSOLUTE PRIORITY:\nFits my budget with the most bang for the buck.\nI am an entry-level triathlete. Or almost athlete \nI need something that will work and last for the next several seasons becasue it will  take time for me to "outgrow" (if ever) the suit.\n\nMUST HAVE:\nfull (long-john style) suit, since I won't be doing a lot of warm-water races.\na women's specific fit\nwarantee or guarantee against defects, etc.\nDoesn't require complicated care or maintenance.\neasy exit, since I'm exciteable and would be a complete\nspaz coming out of the water and trying to get the darn\nthing off while heading for T1\n\nGOOD TO HAVE:\nextended warantee\npanels in shoulders to allow for better mobility, since I have some shoulder problems and i don't want to waste effort trying to "power" against the resistance of the suit, esp. in the shoulders\n\nBONUS IF I GET IT, OK IF I DON'T\nit would be nice if it had some purple (or pink) in it =)\n\nDON'T REALLY NEED IT\nExtra "speed" features, right now, i just want to finish.\nAny sort of other "Elite" features that drive up the price point.\n\nI then found a suit (or suits) from each company and made spreadsheets to compare features side-by-side.\n\nI am in the boonies, so I had to order via the internet. I found companies with generous return policies, ordered a couple of suits and tried them on, ultimately selecting one for myself.\n\nAll the suits made me look like a little black bratwurst sausage, but I found one I liked (and it made me look like a FAST bratwurst, too!)\n\nHowever, if you can, go to local shops, do so. You can find places to rent suits, too. This is a good way to try out different kinds. \n\nThe base for "size" on a wetsuit is weight and you go from there. The suit should fit snugly (but not strangle-ly) around your neck, the last thing you want is something interfering with your breathing! T should be tight around ankles and wrists. You want to make sure you have enough mobility in the shoulders, so as not to affect your swimming stroke.\n\nMost people (including myself) who don't have the best form in swimming, get a lot of help from the extra buoyancy provided by a suit. Because of this, "pool" triathlons and tri's where the water is generally over 79 degrees don't allow suits. Always check with your race organizer! \n\nHope this helps you pick!

yes, get out of Ithaca, that place is aweful.  But...if you have no choice...Ithaca and Cortland college are in the area, there might be some life left in the area during the summer months.  My recommendations, bring a car and head to Syracuse on the weekends, or bring a couple girls out to the Finger Lakes area, they have some awesome wine vinyards out there.  Either way, hope you find some more people like yourself who are stuck on campus, I have a feeling most of the people that will be there over the summer are commuters.  good luck.

Always carry a towel and wear long johns.  Unless it's above 18 C in which case just the towel.
