Would it be dangerous to wakeboard tomorrow? its going to be 40+ and sunny and I'm guessin water temp will be near 40 (hopefully). I'm gonna wear a wetsuit and everythign and just take a short set I was just making sure I won't die. I wanna do it just to say I did it.

nope, I'm From Grand Rapids and went winching last Saturday 12/16/06 at my lake and I'm still here. Of course I started off land and fell 10 feet from shore. I used a drysuit and some closed toe Ronix Cell boots and it did the trick. I did however run quickly to a near by hot shower. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by parksboarder on December 18, 2006)

Hey from K'zoo. Beautiful day today. I was thinking about putting the snowmobile in storage and getting the boat out. Go dry suit if you can. That cold water starts to seep into the wetsuit really fast! If it stays like this we should be thinking about a XMAS day ride!

I'm from MI and I say go for it!!!

I know that I am a boarding nut, and live in IL, but you guys are crazy.

well wetsuits not really an option and the only boat I could find thats not winterized is my neighbors jetboat so I was thinking maybe a little kayak slider for the day. anyone is welcome if anyone can take the cold hah.

oh yeah and if anyone around kzoo here wants to plan a XMAS day ride you can count me in.

Ill say this much, if you do go out take pics and those of us at <a href="http://www.midwestwakeboarder.com" target="_blank">www.midwestwakeboarder.com</a> will happily run a feature on your crazy selfs.

40 degree water and a wet suit . . . burrr! Dry suit.

ya well wetsuits all I got...im still in for an XMAS day ride if anyoen else is.

Greg go for it man! Here in MI I can't stand looking out the window to the lake and seeing the super still butter and knowing its in the 40's/50's and sunny, and the boat being put away up north for the season. Heck in the middle of summer we hit the lake at 6:30 in the morning and the air isn't more than 55 degrees.

I'm in for a Christmas ride. <BR> <BR>I'll be home then...find a boat and give me a time, place, and date...and I'll bring gas money.

anyone have a boat not yet winterized?

Its ok to go when the water and air is in the 40's. Well it might not be ok but me and a few friends did it in april the last 2 years when it wasnt any warmer then that.

I'll be in MI Christmas Day -- if anyone is up for a set, I'd love to join you!

I'm in! I did see a Malibu with wakeboards on the racks in someone's driveway on Duncan Lake (Nofke Drive) this weekend. Let me know if there's a boat available. I'll bring gas money as well!!

I'll be boarding on Jan 1, 2007 at 1200. First set of the year.

That is John on Duncan, I guarantee he and his daughter will go for a set <BR> <BR>If I was in town on X-mas I would Gladly get the boat summerized to do it. <BR> <BR>Sorry, <BR> <BR>Maybe after the new year

I reccomend Jen as a third, cool chick. <BR> <BR>Jen, your on assignment for pics if you go!

Mike -- thanks for the recommendation ;) I'm determined to get in another set this year. And I will definitely get pics if I go.

id anyone gets in touch with john tell him hes got a crew of riders if they hit the lake christmas day. ya today fell through because my neighbors rents didnt want to take the boat out of storage for one day...lazy <a href="mailto:b@astrds">b@astrds</a>.

Where do you all ride? I spent the last half of the summer on Gun. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by mim3 on December 19, 2006)

So where are we on this?? <BR> <BR>I see our options as: <BR>1) drive to Boston and ride with Jaysus <BR>2) Find John on Duncan lake and ride with him. <BR> <BR>Does anyone know John?

If anyone is willing to wait until right after the new year, I'll take up to 10 people out <BR>(Kalamazoo) <BR>(Provided there's water)

I'm definitely interested in X-mas day if it happens. I would also be interested in right after the new year -- if everything's not frozen over and if I can swing it with my work schedule. <BR> <BR>Unfortunately, I would not be able to drive to Boston. Although, if I didn't have to work the day before and after Christmas, I would definitely make the drive!

Ok, how many people are actually interested in this?

its looking like 5-6 interested...are john and his daughter sponsored by the edge? if they are i might be able to get in touch with them. anyone know of a lake not yet frozen?

Where is Boston?

Okay, I got the guys at The Edge to set up a day. <BR> <BR>January 7, a Sunday. If Sugarloaf Lake isn't frozen. <BR> <BR> <BR>They have a VLX to take out, so 10 People or so. <BR> <BR>Get in touch with Zach <a href="mailto:zacht@edgeski.com">zacht@edgeski.com</a> to sign up, It's free

I've secured my spot. <BR> <BR>Looking forward to it.

Unfortunately, I have to work on the 7th. So I'm out. <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/sad.gif" ALT=":-(" BORDER=0>
