4th time out this season. Water was a toasty 57 degrees. Was nice to not have to wear the skull cap (which makes you look even more ludicris than the garbage bag dry suit look)

What does the skull cap do? Nice pic, and Cute puppy!!

Wakeboarder3780 · Posted: Apr 17, 2012 2:40 pm Post subject:

prevents brain freeze. When you ride in water that is 55 degrees or less when you take a bail it's like the worst ice cream headache you ever had. If you want to know what it's like grab a 5 gallon bucket and fill it with ice water, then fully submerge your head in it for a second or two. It's... uncomfortable to say the least.

Here's what it looks like:

cool vid kartman. It's neat how quiet it gets when the board starts cutting. I was secretly cheering you on to charge a TS w2w but you never heard me Wink

wakechick13 · Posted: Apr 17, 2012 5:38 pm Post subject:

That sounds awful. I would hate to even think about trying that....no cold for me! I never knew those existed though.

wakechick13 · Posted: Apr 22, 2012 2:31 pm Post subject:

I got to go out today, but I didnt get to ride because of siblings. :/ Fell in love with this orange and black Supra....it was pretty beast.

wakechick13, Too bad you didn't get to ride, but at least you got out on the lake. What is the weather like down there?

wakechick13 · Posted: Apr 22, 2012 3:44 pm Post subject:

Yeah I was pretty bummed I didnt get to ride, but I will soon. Um Texas is so bipolar about the weather...yesterday was colder in the 70's (I was in jeans and light jacket) but today was high 80's (tank top and shorts). The water was freezing though.

Wakechick the black and orange Supra is my neighbor the other one in SC is mine say hello if you see us out.

wakechick13 · Posted: Apr 22, 2012 5:42 pm Post subject:

FunkyBunch, I love it!!! Which boat is yours?? Color wise...thats the only way I will truly remember them. Im in the Supra Solitare...mainly black and white with a black tower and green bimini top. Im not out there all of the time b/c of being at my moms house.

FunkyBunch · Outlaw Joined: 01 Aug 2011 Posts: 206 City: The Colony

Mine is the black and orange supra 22. No graphics just supra logo.

My neighbors have the black and orange supra 24 has some flame graphic. We mostly board and they mostly surf.

I figure you saw them sense I did not get on the water until after 4 and they were putting up when I left the house.

Oh okay I will have to look for the differences then next time. We were out there today at Stewarts Creek until after 4 maybe you saw us....

FunkyBunch · Outlaw Joined: 01 Aug 2011 Posts: 206 City: The Colony

I don't pay to much attention to boats unless they are doing something silly. I mainly stayed by the ramp and the north wind block since the wind sucked today. We did not get much riding in as I think my shaft seal is out now.

wakechick13 · Posted: Apr 22, 2012 6:43 pm Post subject:

See Im the opposite, I pay attention to boats more than I probably should. It was windy as crap today. Shaft seal??

FunkyBunch · Outlaw Joined: 01 Aug 2011 Posts: 206 City: The Colony

The shaft seal on an inboard is the seal where the drive shaft passes through the hull of the boat. It is a water cooled seal that keeps the water out of the boat. I think the coolant line sprung a leak. I only noticed it once we had the boat fully sacked out.

wakechick13 · Posted: Apr 22, 2012 6:58 pm Post subject:

So basically, if I followed what you were saying, its the thing that keeps water out of the boat?
