Title: When do you get in the water?
Post by Wake man on Mar 24^th, 2010 at 6:25pm

It's the time of the year where I'm watching the temps in the lakes to see when it's warm enough to get back on the board.

When do you guys start getting in the water?

There might be a few wet suit cheaters here :)

usually when I can put my feet in the water and they don't get frost bite. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] [smiley=lolk.gif]

For me, mid April is pretty tolerable. It doesn't completely suck the wind out of you.

It's 56 degrees right now. 70 is tolerable, imo.

I think upper 70s is almost perfect. Because in the summer when the water starts getting to be mid 80s, it starts feeling like bath water and isn't very refreshing.

I'd like to do the first splash of the season this weekend if the weather is nice.

Pulled her out of storage yesterday and changed the oil/filter and fuel filter.

Got my four blade prop redone and installed that.

Fired up OK... :)

Picked up the new upholstery and hope to get it installed tomorrow. Need to knock the dust off and put on a fresh coat of wax.

Congrats! Let me know if you decide to do Travis instead of Austin, there will be a few of us together on Travis.

This weekend was almost comfortable. We spent a lot of time in the water.
