Why does water of 30°c feel cold but air of 30°c feel hot?

I would assume it has something to do with body hair. If so, does it change anything for more hairy or less hairy humans?

Water can transmit heat extremely well.

So, the water feels colder, because the heat from your body is taken away much faster than air can do.
