I was just wondering how many riders out there were getting in the water this early in the year? We are here in Upstate SC , im sure you Fla guys have been going out year round! But we are bearing the 48 degree water temp!!!! Im just ready for the warm weather cause i think i might have been slightly hypothermic after yesterdays session! Shocked

The title of this thread made me smile, whether it is or not, you know when people start askin those questions that it is getting close Smile

I'm in East TN in the valley, Knoxvegas baby, and we've had a couple of days where I would have gone out if our boat was available.

I'm in Phoenix Arizona. Todays high is 80, but i have been going out since late January. Lately the 60 degree water is warm enough to just trunk it. Very Happy

when did the season end?

I guess I missed that memo.

Here in "Minnesota" the season starts in May and the waters not warm tell June. Thanks for reminding me that I have 3 months tell I can start wakeboarding. Mad

AOliver, I was banned for some reason, so I created a second account. Now I'm back.

How does a mainstay like Ctipping get banned from this forum? Anyways, I have been riding year round but I now gotta take a month off because I just suffered a bad concussion, its Dr.'s orders.

I got sick of waiting, so I took a trip to miami to ride at Dean Lavelle's school. All I have to say is that dean a excellent coach, I rode like crap, but had a great time. Now just gotta wait about another month before getting on the board again.

Ive just got time to start riding again, as long as there are no cold fronts, its 75 and nice.

All you knoxville folk, call me if you want some extra ballast in exchange for a pull or PM me!! My boat and jetski are still in the shop!

Chad H · Posted: Feb 26, 2006 11:23 am Post subject:

I am ready to get out there. Still trying to pursuade the parents to keep the boat one more year. That would be nice. Anywho, Today i went out and cleaned the boat up a little bit. Who knows?!?!

K-dub, smarta$$ Laughing

Ctipping, looks like you are back!

If we get some rain in March, the resevoir I ride on might be full for the beginning of April. If not, I'll do weekend trips to a lake up north. I went to the boat show in Ft. Wayne a couple of weeks ago. I almost put us into bankruptcy over a Malibu VLX. Man, I've got the bug Smile

Stewie · Posted: Feb 26, 2006 2:58 pm Post subject:

In Chicago the season doesn't start till April usually. Sad

But i'll probably be out befrore that. I'm going to The Projects over Spring Break too, so I'll get a good jump start on the season than everybody else here.

Blindside_137 · Posted: Feb 26, 2006 4:11 pm Post subject:

im jealous, i wont get a chance until possibly late march early april, and won't get a real chance to get a good session until may->june. But maybe i can gut it out in the cold water... who knows

In Dallas people have been riding for a while here with a drysuit. I think I'm going to start in 2 or 3 weeks with a heater top. The weather's been really weird here, warm then cold..

QNev · Posted: Feb 26, 2006 6:03 pm Post subject:

Yeah like andrewt said. Confused

BC's weather is pretty weird too. One week it's above 10 and the next week it's bloody freezing. I'd like to know when to go out and ride finally, but I'm expecting early May maybe?

Anybody out riding is freakin' lucky!

wow. lucky poeple, ive got like 3 months left. its snowing by the pounds here.

LFADAM · Posted: Feb 27, 2006 9:39 am Post subject:

Im chompin at the bit to ride, I got a drysuit this year so I was hoping to ride almost non stop but theres that little issue of "winterizing," no heated garage and the lows are still in the 20s or 30s. Not worth the risk. The 10 day forecast here in VA is looking good though, no lows below freezing and may hit 70 wednesday or thursday! If the 10 day still says no lows below 32 on wednesday it could be my first real ride of the year! Very Happy

Ctipping, and when thoes 3 weeks come i will be at your house right? its been around 10 celcius or more here for long time and then yesterday we got 4 inches of snow Confused
