Before you gear up and venture out into the cold I would say there are some absolute prerequisites here.Start by asking yourself a few questions.
- What’s my ability level?

Winter riding is reserved for experienced riders only.
You need to know how to handle yourself in various situations and on top of that if you’re new, chances are you'll spend a lot more time in the water than out of it.

- Dull feeling or numb limbs
- Slurred speech
- Slower breathing
- Fatigue physically and mentally
- Cold pale skin
-... less
