Going crazy!!

[indywakechica]

This was my first season to catch the fever. Now that it's getting cold outside I'm going insane! To top that off this week it warmed up again so itching to go out but I'm in a wedding this weekend so won't be able to get out any and it's supposed to get cold again next week. Dry suit isn't in my budget right now *sigh* April/May feels like FOREVER away! So just wondering what the rest of you poor souls in the northern parts do to keep your sanity?

Snowboard

[Liza]

i play hockey, takes up a bunch of time....goin to europe to play in dec....and i go camping a lot, just somethin to fill the weekends so i dont lose my head. i hear what your sayin, i almost bought a wet suit. but ima wait till i get a boat of my own, cuz then i know i'll definetely get the use out of it...just get out and do sumthin

[hardcorerider]

I know what you mean. I was the same way after my first summer learning to wakeboard. So, after a lot of complaining about how it was going to be a long winter, my 18yr old step son taught me how to snowboard. Thank God he did because it totally saved me from going insane! The other thing I did was purchase a mountainboard. They are alot of fun and you can ride them on dirt,grass,street etc....

Yeah I know what you mean, I haven't been boarding for a couple of weeks now and I'm going crazy. I have to save up some money and buy a dry suit so I can go this fall and winter.
Usually in the winter I go snowboarding, its kinda like wakeboarding and its a lot of fun!

[WetChick19]

I totally feel everyone's pain, i haven't been in like a month and its killing me. I have a board hanging on my wall as "art" and its painful to look at it. The drysuit is aring out though and ready to ride. It is definately the best invention since sliced deli meat!

[kerriokie]

Agreed with the snowboarding. I've never tried - a friend tells me its a really good substitute during the winter months. Seems kind of pricey though. I'm spoiled I guess. Have my own boat. Don't really have to shell out major $ when I want to go ride.

[Dragonlady8]

Ever since learning how to wakeboard, I've never lived anywhere I had to worry about "cold" weather.....just wore a springsuit a few time in Jan couple of years back.
It's also nice to have a cable park nearby, that way I can pretty much board whenever I feel like it.

Try watching wakeboarding videos to curb your itch, snowboard or move to a warmer climate

[JRock*Girl]

How cold is the water? Its 60º here and the wind chill doesn't help much. This winter im going to snowboard everyday and work my butt off so I can send my self to FL, in either December or Feb. (mabye both ) get out of the snow and wakeboard. Watch video's, read magazines, jump on the tramp with a skatedeck, play Shaun's new PS game, come on WB.com...whatever you have to do. Last year we sucked it up and rode until the end of october with no wetsuit. (brrr)

[Premier135Chick]

Get a drysuit and ride in the winter months, if you are fortunate to live by water that doesn't freeze in the winter. I went crazy last year because I didn't ride a whole lot. Watching videos made me want to ride more. Snowboarding helped a little bit because I just focused on riding switch so I could apply it the next time I went wakeboarding.

I haven't ridden in over three weeks because school has been kicking my ass this semester. But I think I am riding all weekend long. Yeah!!!

Crazy? Crazy is finally moving to a climate conducive to year round riding, only to blow out your knee before summer is over I'm not bitter.

[Tigerblp]

Though I can't really relate with you guys.... when it rains, we're screwed too. I'd suggest buying an indoboard and setting up a pulley system if you can (i know kyle schmidt talked about how to make one in one of the recent issues of wbm), but get a weight, and put it on one end, and put a handle ont he other, and you can practice handle passes and edging on it (plus, it'll help work out your arms to keep them in shape)

[leslisa]

I haven't gotten to go for about a month now, it wasn't in the cards (I've had a kid thing to do every weekend since worlds) I guess. I have been indo boarding, skateboarding, running, yoga, stretching, Trampoline, anything and everything to keep busy when I have the time. I know what you mean. It's really frustrating not getting to go when you want.

[Premier135Chick]

It has been raining here and I am still going riding tomorrow (7 am wakeup call). No doubt I will be wearing a drysuit. I don't think there isn't anything too crazy that I wouldn't do for this sport!
