    Default Finally a chance to get out on the Lake Downunder!

    Lake Eildon.jpg

    Been so wet and cold, lake overfull, floods etc. and it snowed here 2 weeks ago! Supposed to be Summer here.
    Generally we're out latest mid Oct but a very different year this year.
    Took some time off during the week to enjoy a brief bit of sunshine.

    Cheers BruceR, Melb Australia.

    Nice looking weather for sure in the picture. What are you riding? Hard to tell from the photo angle.

    Riding a Moomba 2014 Mondo 25kg lead upfront, had it since new.
    Pic is of my wife with chest mount gopro.
    Saw maybe 4 boats for the whole day!
    That day was 24degC and sunny, since it's been 15 - 18 degC, rain and hail mixed with occasional sun. Usually it'd be around the 28degC mark and we'd have been out 4 odd times by now.
    Hope you guys get some wet weather soon as I understand some of the lakes are pretty low.

    Wife was on the wakeboard, not bad for us oldies (50yo and up).
    NO INVERTS tho!!! We'll leave that to the kids....
    Only the one Supra/Moomba dealer in AUS, RideAustralia.
    Mostly Malibu/Axis is what is common around here as far as new boats, a couple of dealers in Victoria for them and also one for Mastercraft.
    Boat prices are ridiculous here tho, 1/4Mill for a boat these days, nicely optioned compared with our 2014 but too freaky putting them in the water with all the yobbos around. Also there's enough stress in the family getting off and on the trailer with ours although we've worked out a process that suits us and all remains calm.
    Just about having some fun and a great day out.
    I surf only, when I say surf, no rope happy to cruise up down the wave and that's it. Did try a 360...made it 180 only hahaha....

    Your lake looks a lot like our mountain lakes here.



    I had a rope with a sinking handle and you could easily see it 25-30ft down. However they are fed by snow melt so it does take quite a while for them to warm up.
    So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?
