DavidHoff, word. However, I did roll out today, with just a riding l/s shirt, and it was pretty nasty cold. I think it was like 75 or some crap, but with the wind it hurt. Time to bust out the gooru and go another month. I usally quit around december when it starts hitting 50's more often, and head up to Tahoe for snowboarding for a month.

I usually ride through the winter months. It's starting to get alot colder but the drysuits seem to help.

Our last day will probably be somwhere in between tomorrow and thanksgiving. Its been getting down into the 40's. but this week its suppose to hit back up into the 60-70*. we just play it by ear. if the sun is shining and its above 60* were launchin the boat you never know around here.

I ride on and off throughout the winter. Here in Nothern Cali we sometimes get 75 degree days in december. Last year I rode 2 days after christmas. I have yet to bust out the wetsuit though, I'm trying to go until the water turns which will be sometime in the next couple weeks.

I rode yesterday, temp was about 72. I'm looking to get a wetsuits soon to extend my season.
About what temp do you guys start riding with shorty/spring suits or a full wetsuits?
Do the heater shirts help much?

Rode yesterday...the water here in VA went from 70 to 60 degrees in 1 week! Its been lows around 30-32 every night and highs between 48-55. Yesterday the boat thermometer was reading 58 degree water at first but it got up to low 60s by the end of my set and air of 58-60. I was in a shorty and still managed to last a 40 min set and wakesurfing! I would go longer but with the temps getting into the lower 30s, we have to winterize. I would ride as long as the air and water are both above 50. If today isnt my last day, next time im up (2 weeks) will be. Puppy Eyes

Fortunately, they are saying todays high is supposed to be around 70! Very Happy

Our lake has a damn and pretty much every thanksgiving they open it up and let the lake drain. That pretty much spells the end of the seaosn my way. Anywhere else is a long drive for cold cold water...

i dont quit ever. i hate quiters and feel they should be all shot in the face with rubber bullets untill they cry. then the rubber bullets should be switched to real ones because nobody likes a crybaby.
