I reckon now would be a good time to post the final results of my "What's your minimum air temperature for windsurfing or kiteboarding?" survey. Here they are:
Looks the most common temperature cut-off is between 10 and 7 Celsius (50 and 45 Fahrenheit), but there is a significant minority of insane people who claim to ride in sub-freezing weather. Must be Canadians and Europeans.

Don't look at me, I am Canadian and I didn't vote for sub 0. :)
There are some crazy sailors out there... props to them!
Now it's time to hook up your windsurfing sail to a pair of skis or runner sled to get you thru the winter.
Celsius? I can't do the conversions, though I know that 0c is 32f
For the bulk of the guys I sail with, the cutoff tends to be 34f if sunny, and 38 if overcast, unless we haven't sailed (or SUPsurfed) in a long time, in which case the sunny temp cutoff is 28.
