53 degrees and no wet suit?!


Early in the movie they are in Cape Town or something and the narrator says the water is 54 degrees. The boys aren't wearing wetsuits, did I hear that right?

I thought they said the air and water was both 75 degrees.

Watching it now. Cape Town is 54 degrees.

The air temp in Nigeria was 95 degrees and the water temp was 85. You might be thinking of the part early on in the movie when they were showing winter waves off Santa Cruz (Mavericks), where the water temp was 47 degrees! Those dudes were NOT wearing wet suits. They were animals then I guess. No way today.
