Hi there,

I'm located in the great white north where there is still ice on some of the lakes....wondering where is the shortest distance I could tow my tow and go for a spin....NC open ? I know obviously FLA is open.

Ice cleared off the bay about 2 weeks back, still some good piles of ice building down the bay up here in NY. Water temps are between 36-40 degrees right now, with night temps dipping below 32 and into the high 20's. I won't break my boat out till the temps are guaranteed not to dip back down below freezing... Soo end of this month, early may is when our season starts up here.

The water will be chilly in NC but definitely rideable to your northern standards.

Temps are going to be in the 80's this weekend down here in Atlanta. Water temps have touched 60 already but cooled down again from the cold snap this week. By this weekend I'm expecting it to get close to 60 again.

I've dewinterized my boat and plan on putting it in this Saturday for the first time. Can't wait to ride my new setup!

I've been riding for the past month. Water temps have been in the low 60s.

Boat dewinterized last week and was out on the water just yesterday. Air temp was in the low 80s and water temp was around 55. Boat was in the water....I was not. I don't have any suit and am a wuss for too cold of water.

I'm in Michigan and I have a feeling it could be May before the weather takes a positive turn. I am chomping at the bit to get out on the lake knowing that the warm weather is so close.

Last Sunday was my first ride of the season. 88 degree air temp, 65 degree water temp. A wetsuit top was all I needed.

A new boat wake and a new board made me feel like I was learning all over again!

Here in the mountains of VA, water just hit 60. Not bad. We have been riding since January when there was patchy ice on the lake

Gonna give it a run this weekend, water is mid to low 60's shouldn't be to bad. Cool

Never stopped her in key west. Had to wear a long sleeve shorty for 2 months cause the water got to 70 brrrrrrrr. On a serious note hope your season starts soon if it hasn't already

We started riding in march. I've probably got 20 sets in already. 30+ hours on the a22...
