[That Guy]

I use the app speed box and it’s accurate both on land and water.

What's a good app to use? Everything I have tried don't match anywhere close to the car speedo.

I can tell you that my car speedo is most definitely off. it's bad, like 5mph different. In Europe, there are laws that say that a car speedo can't under-report the speed, so they mostly over-report it. annoying to say the least.

I've used the GPS Speedo app. in the car, I have GPS on my radar detector that reports my current speed and it's consistent with the speed that displays on the Waze app. So I know that my car is wrong.

GPS won't be accurate if there is any water current without compensating

Ready to remember what the water feels like this weekend

We used to go back and forth, but primarily lv now. We drop at pilot knoll in highland village.

Damn, following in my steps... except now I’ll drop in on the Hickory Creek Side. I finally get to purchase a ramp pass as a resident.

Russell and family and my family can normally be found in that stretch of the lake (or by the dam) most every weekend.

double header in Portland! 85 degrees last night (before a 30 degree temp swing as it's 55 degrees today!).

Of course, after motoring to the play spot, the first priority for the wifey is getting the "girl pic". Always happy to oblige.


Then a wakeboard set for a buddy. Not a bad wave for just the 1180 bag filled.


After battling with some tennis elbow and throwing out her back, the wife was VERY happy to be back surfing. Her first pull of the season.


I was next on deck. Tested out my Hurley Phantom 303 wetsuit. Pretty amazing. My shorts were completely dry underneath and my rash guard was almost completely dry too. Wetsuits have come a long ways. The water temp was mid 50s, and I could have easily justified the drysuit, but figured I'd test out the new wetsuit.

After getting in a wakeboard set and taking off his wetsuit, my buddy didn't want to get back in the water. He'd just bought a ONeill drysuit off CL and the night before he ripped the wrist seal. That's the exact reason I don't let anyone else use my drysuit.

So it was up to me to finish off the night surfing...



Goodnight from Portland.

Oh, and when you see the girls in the boat taking a selfie, it's the perfect time for a photobomb!

Excellent, we will float by and day hi!

Went back out to play around a bit, and remembered my Gopro this time.

Pics and video taken with cruise set at 15.0, but GPS app showed 11.8. Is there a way to adjust the speed on the computer? It's been off by the same amount whether the input is GPS or paddlewheel.
