Haven't had a poll in a while. Guys up north are feeling a bit discouraged about the cold snap. Thought I'd post a poll-- tell us the first day, on average, you hit the water in the new year.

By hitting the water I guess you mean actually getting in a strapping a board on not just getting the boat out and ready to go. For me I've had a few new years day runs but I wont count those. My first ride is usually around mid April to mid may depending on whats going on that year, friends weddings which is the case this year, school, work. So average for me is May 1st.
Yeah speaking of weddings, im getting married on a houseboat May 15th and i'll be boarding soon as the ceramony is over. Guess that will be my first time in the water this year.
None of the above. Anymore, I get out about Memorial Day at the earliest sometimes mid-June.
We shoot for the beginning of April or around Easter... this year it was April 2nd. Temp was about 85 or so. We are lucky though that we have a power plant cooling lake less than an hour from where I live. The water there is in the mid 70's, where the lake I normally ride on in the summer is still in the lower 60's I think.
April 1st this year but that was not normal.
tomorrow...WAHOOO..mainly to check things..
For all the talk from the cold weather guys, I only see 9 guys that claim any date before April 1 (and I'm one of them but in FL).
