Well, where i live its just now starting to become summer... weather is about mid 60's during the day and chilly at night. I live on a lake in maine and the water is about52 degrees. We just put in our boat and i had to go for a ride, but let me tell you, 50 degree water is very cold, i got back into the flow of things but when i fell i couldn't breathe it was so cold. anyways my wakeboard season started yesterday and i'm pretty pumped even though i froze my a$$ off!

I am in Maine too on little sebago lake in gray and yeah I agree its pretty cold trying to wakeboard, then again the rain doesn't help either... but its worth it to get out there and I'm hoping it will warm up soon!

Scott M and JessBoards, maybe we could get together and do some riding this summer... and hopefully the water will warm up fast.

Im originally from upper Michigan. I used to ride in lake Superior where the water doesnt get much higher than 60 in the peak of summer. So I know all about cold water. I moved to Louisiana and the water is so warm that it feels kind of disgusting and I have to share my water with the alligators. I wish I was back in Michigan.

I am down here in Arizona. Water temps having been kickin ass here, consistently between 70 & 75. I get in the water at 5 in the morning and love it. By 10:30 it is so hot out I just kick it in the water it is so nice.

Sorry for all you guys that are below 70 degrees, that is tough. In the winter I'll be using a full wet suit, little chilly but worth the water!

I made my first run of the year this weekend. The water here in Michigan is still pretty dang cold too. I was taking it very easy because I really didn't want to fall down. I think a wet suit might be a wise investment. I'll probably try it again next weekend.

F**********

Here in Northern Ireland it is still really cold - Air temperature 60 on a good day and water temp 50 ish maybe.

Fuel about $6 per gallon.

The Government will be taxing tax and sunshine next.

I don't know what the water temp is in MS but the highs are in the 90's and lows in the 70's. The water is very nice for now. In about 3 more weeks the water will be hot unless you get into a river.
