    Default How about some December fun?

    How about a poll for those of us who love to get in the water? What is the lowest temperature at which you are willing to brave it? Enjoy!!

    I have never been wakeboarding in water about 76*. I would never think of putting on a wetsuit when that water is that hot.

    If the water is soft, take it. We have been in water/ice where we got out on the ice to take off. we like to add the air and water temp, the coldest air was 20 during our thanksgiving 07 ride. there were icicles on the wake boards as they dripped in the rack, the back deck also had a layer of ice getting in and out. i don't remember the water temp, it was low 40's i think.

    i really like the dry suit and the heater. going to snow ski tomorrow, but we are planning to get on the water 12/11, if the ramp has not iced over.

    if anyone is in town, they can come along.

    generally, we trunk it when the water is in the 60's, depending on the sun/air temps

    Well Florida might be nice, but i have been out for morning runs these last few days, the air was 6-10 deg F, had a nice layer of frost at the end. very refreshing!

    Coldest i know ive been in was 53 degrees and that was pretty cold. I dont have a wet suit or dry suit just trunked it.

    Jester and Yearround id assume you guys are in drysuits for the 40 degree stuff LOL. Still hats off to you both man.

    I was in water this summer over 80 and i didnt like it eighter. To dam hot for me. I like to jump in and cool off. Not jump in and just get wet.

    Give me 65 degree water all day and im a happy boater.

    50 degree water is the low limit for me, made possible by my Moomba heater, one of the best options available for us northerners.
