I am just wonder what the coldest water people have wakeboarded in. I have swam in 53 degrees and that was really cold. The water temps of the lake where i live in minnesota are 50 or so and I just got the new byerly 137 and i really want to try it out. Any incites would be greatly appreciated.

on the 16th of april, I saw a block of ice (5' x 5') flotting arround while I was riding. that was 5 day after ice !

we were happy to use the wall beside the drop to pick up the TD (truck driver).

dry suit rule ! (sooo cold for the hand and feet ! )

the glove that we use is the one to clean the dishes

I was out on Long Lake yesterday in a full wetsuit, no problem, water temp was 55. One of my buddies wore a shorty. Its cool, but not to bad. Plus there were exactly zero people tubing yesterday.

jeff_moto, we ride on Lake Washington. I was out riding last friday. water temp was 57 and air temp was 62. It was also windy. Sad

You're the first guy I've seen here besides me who ride near Mankato.

Did you wear a west suit or just tough it out? I seen some people on my lake west jefferson go and they only went for like 2 minutes and then fell. They jumped right in boat after they fell. I am guessing the first time i will go is around may 8th. Hopefully it will be warm enough to stand. Its spoosed to bet 70's and up in couple of days so that should help.

I did have a wet suit on. It is supposed to be in the mid 70s starting next week. I'm sure we'll hook up some time this summer.
