getting cold in Indiana!
went out for a quick set right at sundown last night- It's getting dark around 7:15-7:30 so we only had time for a set a piece; Water temp was 57 and I had to wear a full wet suit- felt like the cold water was really gripping my ski plus I had trouble keeping my knees bent in the full suit so I skied like dog poo; it's supposed to warm up this week so hopefully back to the shorty this weekend!

We are looking at mid 70's in Maryland this weekend so hoping for a couple good days of course skiing.

was in the 70s here today so made it out to the ski club after work- it was glass and the water warmed up to the low 60s- the stuff january dreams are made of- it's getting dark so early my last pass was essentially by the light of the moon- I actually skied better once the sun went down because I quit looking at the buoys and just skied!

Actually southern guys are bigger wimps about cold water. I don't know many southern guys at all (none) that have drysuits and hardly any that have wetsuits to go skiing with. You northeners impress me with your dedication to the sport.
Also, if you ever move here I give you 2 to 3 years to become a cold water wimp too! It is all about what you get used to. To us a windbreaker is a "winter coat" and anything below 50F is COLD!!! Water temps below 80 is COLD!!! Our water temp is probably around 75F and EVERYONE here stops going out to ski, wakeboard etc.

Bunch a wimps... go ski Yellowstone Lake in early June when the ice breaks up and then you can cry about cold water.
It's a great experience and learning tool, what is does is give one great incentive to stay on top of the water...
Oh and just to be clear, those were the good'ol days and I will not likely be doing that again, I discovered Hypothermia is a real concept not just something they made up to scare the kids LOL...Kraig - 2010 Outback V
