LAST RIDE....of the 2013 season thread

[Baddog]

Still going strong. Norris Lake, water 68 degrees and air 72....nice

sucks to be you

[Joeprunc]

This Saturday. Air 70s; Water 61F; Wind...none

Waiting to get another set in, you can see Termite's boat in the background getting ready.

[TallRedRider]

Not my last ride, but thought I would share. I hope to go every month of the year this year. The foiling bug has bitten.

There were way too many people on the lake, including one guy tubing hard in an I/O. I thought that was illegal in November?

Water temp about 60, air temp was 74.

[-BS-]

Didn't realize it at the time, but this was my last ride of the season. Sloppy riding, but it was c..ccc..COLD (53*)

[Afun]

Nothing Sloppy about that BS. I may get my Soulcraft back prior to shutting it down, but temps have dropped.

Got in a foil run Saturday with Parrothead. Water 63 degrees air 59. Coolest I have ever rode yet but would do it again. Good chance it was my last for the season.

Yesterday. 70deg air; 58deg water. Full suit would've been fine, but we used drysuits because it was windy. Season will go on, as long as I can get people to go out. Hopefully a couple more Nov days and a couple in Dec. Jan-Mar will be reserved for snowboard season, and winter kayaking.

[High Altitude]

Surfed last weekend. Air: 55 Water: 45 Great time drinking a few beers and surfing one of the best waves we had all year.

Hopefully, will go one more time this weekend. Looks like ice is starting to form at one end of the lake. I suspect water temps in the high 30 as we saw some lows in the teens this week. (Drysuit with booties, gloves, and surf hat)

Im heading to get gas right now then heading out to try to find some calm water... it's windy so might be tough!

[Afun]

Almost went out today, but decided not too. Had a long night last night and slept in. I will winterize this coming week if my dealer has availability. The sad news is, I will probably not get to try out my new Soulcraft until next season.

Went out to ski yesterday and didn't even get a set in. Had trans problems in July and the dealer replaced it. Well, my season ended yesterday with the same problem so they will be putting another trans in... Not a good note to end the season on.

[DatTexasBoy]

Rode Yesterday Nov 9th. Air 62/Water 60. We have gotten a lot of rain lately and we are on the river.

I don't know what we are going to do yet. We are not happy at all though I can tell you that. Might know more tomorrow...

Paddled late yesterday afternoon. It was gorgeous, 45 degree air, maybe low 50s in the water. Glllaaaaaaasssss for days.

The boat is sitting in it's storage unit, with a buddies' Tige to keep it company. I pulled the cover off it on Saturday & brought it in to the office today.... planning on taking it in to a Laundromat to clean it. Found a place locally that says they have a "50 lb machine". We'll see if that is enough for a boat cover.

[rennis]

The Buzer is all put away for the winter here - emptied of just about everything, fully enclosed in a Costco boat house, ready to hibernate for what will probably be a pretty long winter.

I already can't wait for May... sigh.

[Afun]

I have been convinced not to Winterize....

This is just a cold snap and we will have couple of more days that will be warm enough to ride.

That means I get to try out my new Soulcraft....YEAH!!

Malibu came out of the water in late Sept., ending ski season. My Winner runabout will replace her till near ice for fishing and hanging out. Lake is in the 50's now, mornings usually below freezing. But never say never. Skis are still in the shed.

My Winner runabout came home to NJ today after two snowy nights and 39 degree lake temps this weekend in upstate NY. My brothers boat (a Hydrostream) and mine were the only two boats on the lake this weekend. Not sure why, air temp was a balmy 36, and the lake was calm.

[Durty_Curt]

it's pretty much freezing in Arizona. yesterday the water dropped to sub 7 zero temperatures of 68! air was a crisp 85...

[Afun]

Well, looks like we will have snow showers tomorrow and we will probably go surfing Saturday. Weird....

Beautiful shot!

How are the winds in AZ this time of year?? Hit and miss, or pretty calm? Oh and, 68 F water, that's cold, surprised you're not in a dry suit
