Nice pictures. We went out over the weekend also. It makes me want it to get warm that much more. I hate riding in wetsuits.

The only thing I can think of is the water is coming DOWN the TN River...so that water is actually coming from further north...Nice Pics...did you get most of your 07 tricks back dialed in?

Slope we were a little rusty but it was a real rough day so we weren't goin for much...but we got some dialed back in.

For my Lyman/Vantage review...

The board is awesome...its fast, pops great...into the flats, soft landings, and loose when you want it to be...i rode it without the fins at first but had to throw them on because it was so slick. The stance all the way out is very wide. I might even have to drop down a size the 39 felt big to me....I'm coming off an 07 One.

As far as the vantage bindings...they are very comfy...they are the most comfortable ones i have put on. The velcro makes it nice to adjust them in the areas you want them to be tight and you can do it on the fly too. They are a little lower cut than the watsons and aren't as stiff...like the reviews say they have flex side to side but front to back is a little stiffer. The heel padding is beefed up so little to no heel lift on them if sized correctly. But overall I like them alot....I'm comparing them to the One's and Watsons i've been on in the past.

deffinetly didnt have the tricks back, lotsa rust to be knocked off, but on the right track. Hammered out a couple inverts, but I dont think anything was pretty

I tried to get out yesterday, but couldn't get any takers. Now its below freezing again and the lakes will freeze back over. Crying or Very sad
