Hey dudes, are you guys surviving off season?

Last time i was boarding was early December Sad

I am really stoked for the new season, really want to progress, that just so much fun. Best thing ever, i graduade in April this year from my school, and the new one starts in September so Bubb Rubbing 5 months free for riding!!! I am stoked!

My season start early/mid March, and yours? Too bad its still snowing here, were already having a 4 week winter, and it seems itll be cold next week... I hope it will soon melt.

Hang on! Spring is near!

It's hard, but N-3 Boatworks the Nautique dealer here in indy are having there 2 year anniversary party. And the band Red Wanting Blue from Ohio are playing Jan 30th. I'm sure that will be a good time as always

Living in Breckenridge for the winter is definitely helping.

Feb snowboard trips on horizon and backyard rail sessions help with the itch.

We've been hitting the incline rail in the backyard via winch. Start off sitting on my neighbors dock, approach, hit rail, ride away, exit lake via an up ramp. If all goes well with rider and winch driver, you don't get wet....wetsuit on just in case. Pretty slick...need to post up a video for visual.

I spend way too much time on here and wakeworld as well as sitting in the boat in the garage slowly doin work to it. Season here starts mid june but hopefully making it to TSR first week of april....My board sits in my office at work so riding likes to cross my mind.

I just left Gatlinburg this Christmas break. I did see some snowboarders going up the mountain. I did not see much snow so they must make it on the mountain.

damn you guys go in when it's still 58 in the water???
I'd freeze to death, then again in 126 pounds and scrawny as eff, with poor circulation XD
Up here in CT we generally don't go back out until late may

I say 58 cause we hopped in 54 last year and it was pretty rough, so I figure a 4* difference should be enough Laughing

Ready for Spring or Summer....We just got out of Freezing temps for the longest time it seems...Havent had snow in a week...now just rain..Buddy of mine mentioned taking a set this weekend...Maybe get to do that if I break out the drysuit.. in 58 degree water I was in a full wetsuit..it was a little cold, but wasnt terrible...This year is drysuit all the way till the water is about 68 haha...

Off season? Air 80 degrees, water 75 or so. No complaints here. So yeah, I'm surviving.

dbismyname · Posted: Jan 21, 2010 11:03 am Post subject:

SilverMustang35, Yeah I'm thinking spring suits at about 58 or 60 and we'll be in business, I don't think our section of river heats up as quick as the lakes around here

My pro shop manager has been been taking me to different winch spots. He has gone crazy wanting to find new places for that pulldozer.

Sucking so far. Been in Iraq since last may. Been playing soldier since March so I missed all of last season. Got the "The Book" and have been watching that which isn't helping me any with not wanting to wakeboard. Watching "The Book" is just making me want to go even more. Just wanna get out on the water and get back to learning how to board. I only been able to go a few times and have been hooked. Can't wait now. Will get home in time to get the boat out and tuned up just before weather breaks and is good enough to board. Thinking about buying a better wetsuit or a dry suit so I can get out earlier and stay out longer since I have already missed a full season.

Isn't helping in surviving winter, methinks.

walb0244 · Outlaw Joined: 05 Aug 2009 Posts: 122 City: Terre Haute

Post changed. I meant not helping me survive winter. It is just making me want to get behind the boat more.

Went Sunday.
Air ranged from 56 to 60 F and water was 44 F
Haven't been since Summer, so I was happy.
Drysuit kept me comfy.
