Semi chilly day on the water today.

Well, September and October have been beautiful. But today was our coolest day of the fall so far. Air temp high was around 68. Fortunately the water temps are still 80. It was COLD when you got out of the water. Probably time to break out the wetsuit before much longer.

Your a lucky guy to have 68 degree air, and 80 degree water.

I went out friday, 60 degree air, 58 degree water. I had a wetsuit tho.

I have been thinking about transfering to a college in south carolina next year, not sure which one, what month do people stop wakeboarding down there? Keep in mind I'm from northern Massachusetts and I ride through October and into the first week of November.

wakeboardin2k4,

I'm not sure when "people" stop wakeboarding. I know my bros and I are crazy ass mofos and plan to ride as long as we can. I suppose with the right gear you could ride year round, but I'm not planning on getting in that water in January or February. Laughing

You're thinking about transferring to a college but not sure which one? Might as well make it USCB Hilton Head. The rest of the big schools are in the central and upstate. Hell, it snows up there. Mr. Green

HHI Dave,

Thats cool that people ride year round. I'm looking to transfer to a school far enough south that I can ride atleast 10 months a year. If I like the area and being in the south ((which can be hard for some northerners, especially us stubborn bostonians)) I may consider staying there when Im finished with school.

Another school I am looking at is Texas State, and the University of Florida in Orlando.

wakeboardin2k4,

If I was looking for a school in a good wakeboarding locale, then I guess Orlando would be a no-brainer. Smile

wakeboardin2k4, dude i live in wilmington, and i ride year round with my wetsuit (at my housin wrightsville beach) and it's normally colder in swansboro then Wb or capefear river, and i ride year round here too....

moving to sc wont help much either, same water temp. not much climate difference.

jlaws, check his pro...thats wilmington massachusetts not NC.

Justin 25 · Addict Joined: 29 Aug 2006 Posts: 797

HHI Dave, probably not too cold even for a wet suit...but i currently don't own one. Neutral

It kind of sucks because this week it was 80 on the weekday and this weekend it was about 55, and other weekends it's been 50. (Air temp, not water temp)

Hey Dave, I am in Beaufort and I was dying to go out this weekend also. We almost made it out saturday but turned around b/c there were some pretty nasty clouds out. Thanks for showing that link for the top b/c I am going to order one today if they have any left. Hopeflly this weekend will be nicer.

z32f4i, We went out Saturday and Sunday. It was actually sprinkling a little on Sunday when I was gassing up the boat. It cleared up a little while we were on the water though. This weekend is supposed to be pretty nice.

Where do you ride in Beaufort?

patoloco · Posted: Oct 10, 2006 11:17 am Post subject:

Wow, I'd love to have some of those warm water temps here.

I went yesterday, no wetsuit. Air temp 70 and water temp 62 (at least thats what perfect pass said) It was really cold, but tolerable.

wakeboardin2k4 · Soul Rider Joined: 28 Oct 2005 Posts: 355 City: Wilmington

yesterday, 73 air, 59 water, full wetsuit with boots, gloves, and a 1.5 ml rash guard to stay warm

z32f4i · Newbie Joined: 21 Sep 2006 Posts: 7 City: Beaufort

Dave, I usually ride in the Beaufort river behind the Pigeon Point and Air Station area. Pretty long straight away that is usually calm and not too many boats that pass through. I ordered that wetsuit top and it should be in friday.

wakeboardin2k4, i hope you are kidding. that water is trunkable, maybe a long sleeve top. Laughing

wakeboardin2k4 · Soul Rider Joined: 28 Oct 2005 Posts: 355 City: Wilmington

ya but i ride for like an hour straight, and i fall alot cause i cant land a f-ing tantrum that i keep trying. Then i get out of the water for like 20 minutes and then go wakeskate for like an hour. I already have the wetsuit and stuff so why be cold when i can stay nice and toasty

HHI Dave · Posted: Oct 11, 2006 9:59 am Post subject:

z32f4i, We should get together some time. We ride in Bull Creek between the May River and Daufuskie Island. My top should be here Friday too. Just in time. Cool
