October Picture Thread

[jaywidhalm]

Who's still riding?? I took a slalom run today, but only had me and the driver so didn't get any action pics...oh well. Haven't been able to ski or board in Oct over here for a long time (without wetsuits, etc).

[wake beater]

First time i have ever surfed in Oct was yesterday..No wetsuit ..The weather was the shi#s in Sept ,didn't even get one ride in

[Okie Boarder]

Was out yesterday along with a couple friends. Not exact on temps but air was about 60 and water was in the low 70 range.

I tried this weekend but river was full of logs and whatnot from recent heavy rain. Water is down to 60* and more rain this week but looks like light rain and no more crazy storms, so crossing my fingers that it'll clear up for the weekend. Won't winterize until November when it gets to freezing at night, so I'm sure I'll get a couple more runs in.

1st time out in a month due to fuel issues . Gotta love the S.Texas temps , around 88 today!!

[01SupraLaunch]

Sorry no pics, but I footed here in the northeast Sat and Sunday. Temps sunday were 40 on the dot, water was 54 ish. Dry suit made me one happy footer! I still got brain freeze!

[jaywidhalm]

I am jealous of your temps Brack. Me and a buddy went here in the Northwest on October 9th. Water and air were both 60 degrees. No wet or dry suits either!! My wife didn't even want to go on the boat so I think I may have to be done for the year :cry:
Not the greatest pics, as it was just the 2 of us, so driving and taking pics is a little tough...but never the less, proof we were out...

Hit up Lake Berryessa in Nor-Cal this past Saturday with the family. Air was 82 and water 74...pretty dang nice. No wind all day long, glassy conditions all over the whole lake. Had to deal with rollers from about 11-2 from the tubers and jet skis...then butter till dusk. Amazing day. We're having a little indian summer in CA right now with temps up into the upper 80's.

More from this past weekend of my 8y/o nephew - my favorite little shredder :cool:

[Okie Boarder]

Your nephew is looking good! Seems very confident out there. Good for him!

[jet]

Man look at that form and handle position. He's GREAT! Jet

[thescott]

Thanks! Yeah, he's doing pretty good - just love watching him behind the boat. He has so much fun back there. it's great to see him go out and constantly try new stuff. He watches everyone elses riding very closely and always trys to mimick - usually quite well right off the bat. We took a lesson from a local semi-pro out at West Coast camps at Lake McClure here in CA. He's grown by leaps since then.

Here are the pics of our last w/end in October before they lower the lake for a month. Weather was great, in the high 70's and water temp 70's as well. Lake was practically deserted!

Not only did we enjoy her, so did some other wildlife

Found these mussel shells on the swim deck sunday morning, someone liked the picnic table.

And evidently she has a pretty energetic wake

[Kma4444]

It really was a nice weekend, nice cool mornings and warm days. Maxine the Sunsport performed flawlessly and we had a ball. I noticed Sunday, that Newbie has put about 40 hours on her new toy since she got it mid-summer.

[mapleleaf]

Here's a picture I def. wasn't excited about taking. She's 2 1/2 hrs away now and unfortunately can't offer any real distraction for a while!!! Perhaps I'll jump back on that "honey do" list I've been avoiding!!!!

[87SunSportMikeyD]

thescott - that little guy was born to rip! :) Other easy fun tricks: wake slaysh, inside-out wake jumps, looks like he is close to a powerslide. Very impressive and great pics!

Newbiegirl - Your boat looks just great! I love that paintjob, really unique. Great pictures, keep em coming! Just a note you will likely need a minimum of about 5-700 lbs on the surf side to get a wave that is about thigh high and easier to surf sans rope. Lookin great.

Maple - Why do we live this far northhhhhh arggggggggggggg

[Blackntan90]

I second what Mikey said about the paint job on that Sunsport! Me likey! Hey Maple, don't you put the trailer on jack stands, or blocks?

[mapleleaf]

BnT, you know the first year I did and greased the bearings, She'll only be in there a month or so, until the refurbished horse barn has it's new heated floor!!! Hopefully before christmas that babies in a heated garage! And the dirt floor in the haybarn is all over the place....I'll be happy to get her outta there!!
