54/45 w/o a wet suite - polar bears.

Old Hickory Lake. There was one fishing boat out and that was all.

Jeez I would have not been able to breathe when I hit the water. 45 degrees sounds horrible.

[Cooose]

That's commitment for sure.

I assume it was more to test out the hot water shower and heater :)

Neither, just to say you went on New Years Day!

So this video was taken in November, the week before we winterized. My buddy finally got around to pulling an edit off of it.

It's amazing to think this was only 2 months ago.

Our local dealer had a drive and ride demo event yesterday at the lake. So, I drove and rode! Air temp was 61, water temp was around 63.

Well, living in the South has its benefits! Granted, ask me the last time I've snow skied or gone snow mobiling - years!

So, I'm pretty excited that I get to contribute some BOATING pictures to the January thread!!!
Friday night I got the call and invite, so I packed up the trusty AWD Audi S6 with my snowboard and gear as well as my wakeboard, wakesurf board, drysuit and gear.

We drove up to Mt Hood Meadows and I snowboarded in the morning. knocked out about 12k vertical in 2 hours.

then we drove straight to the boat launch and met up with some friends.
It actually worked out pretty good, because it was only in the 40's in town so we just kept on most of our ski gear!

My boat's winterized, so we we out on a friend's Axis.

And while the water was smooth, I was in for a bit of a surprise when we looked at the water temp. My previous record I think was riding in 48 degree water and I shattered the record today!!!!!

3 of us wakeboarded, and 3 of us surfed (I did both). with the drysuit, fleece pants and a mini-puffer jacket; my legs and upper body were totally warm and dry. I had some nice neoprene kayaking gloves and the hands were fine. The feet were fine in my closed toe wakeboard bindings, but got a bit chilly when I stopped and sunk in the water. Surfing I was fine with neoprene booties on my feet. For wakeboarding I had a neoprene cap on, but for surfing I just war a fleece earband and a trucker hat, LOL. Yeah, it was a bit of a shocker when I crashed surfing!

So there ya go: TRIPLE BOARD DAY! snowboard/wakeboard/wakesurf

[trayson]

My buddy surfed with no gloves. the other guy surfed with no gloves or booties. Damn.

Is that why their mouths are wide open in that one pic?

What the heck - is that a slalom fence picket or something?

Yes Mark, Just a plain old bit of wood. No bindings and no fin, but a heap of fun.

Pics from last weekend in Houston. It was labeled as "Freeze Ride", but, with the air temp, 82, water temp, 66 or so.... - it was just a fantastic day, without the freeze!
