    Don't you have another month or two of rain season? If I still lived over there I think I'd:
    invest in some rain bearings,
    aqua hawgs (or customize my own) wheels,
    make sure the deck is completely sealed,
    probably smear petroleum jelly over all exposed metal parts


    and go skate.

    At least you're not wishing snow and ice would go away.

    Here, check out these other threads on the fish about dealing with rain. In your case, you're forced into several months of non-stop rain. Some peeps can't miss out on a day or two though and then there's the folks who've gone on long distance pushes.

    any good "rain bearings"???

    Longboards and rain

    An supposedly RUSH makes some "all weather" bearings

    I dunno, I've saved a piece of the snap off razor blade and just use that to prick it out.
