Just went to the boat show this past weekend, and now i'm even more excited about the summer. It sure sucks having such a short wakeboarding season. <BR> <BR>Anyone in Ontario wakeboard near port severn, or the grand river?

(bounces head off of desk) I think that hurts less than knowing there's 3 feet of ice or more on my lake.

jman 01-18-2005 6:13 PM

I hate it!!! I'm in LaSalle, MB (just south of Winnipeg), and I'm going absolutely nuts. It's been sold cold and blizzardy, school has actually been cancelled 3 days in a row. I really have to go down to Florida. Us Canadian wakeboarders have it really hard in the winter.

you guys got nothing... last week it was -41 on my deck here (just outside of edmonton) <BR> <BR>i have some friends down in atlanta and they keep telling me that its still nice enough to go boarding down there (misplaced canadians) <BR> <BR>jeff just drink beer it helps forget about the cold <BR> <BR>

jman 01-18-2005 6:54 PM

Blair: nothing? -45 beat that, just kidding.

pittsy 01-18-2005 7:29 PM

Jamie, florida is cold at the moment, not -45 but freezing for all of us here...

mpayette 01-18-2005 7:47 PM

Minus 15-20 celsius here (Montreal, QC, Canada)

twitch 01-18-2005 7:48 PM

Hey Matt... You pay to fly me down there and take me for a pull ill go naked case 50's right now would seem like 90's to me (ok i wont go naked but id go in shorts for sure)

pittsy 01-18-2005 7:57 PM

lol, well i am freezing, i can't even stand outside for more than a few mins. in the mornings... it is suppose to warm up later in the week, which will be nice... summer is getting closer each second!!!

twitch 01-18-2005 8:03 PM

what was the wheather there today?

petertjr 01-18-2005 9:12 PM

nice too know i'm not the only one frustrated with the weather, lol

cyclonecj 01-19-2005 4:21 AM

I'm frustrated with Canadian weather, I'm up here in Hamilton for work. Can't wait to get back to Atlanta, but it was 19 deg F there last night. Still, I've been wakeboarding already this year.

Manitoba is the worst for this. We can get really hot summer days (sometimes over 100F!) and brutally cold winter days (see pic) <BR> <BR>Trash <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/207539.jpg" alt="A normal Winnipeg winter day">

Had two weeks down south over Christmas and was out everyday. <BR>Came home and went wakeskating on Jan 2 here in Vancouver then it got real cold up to yesterday. It was +13 this morning if not for work I would have gone. I think winter is done here.

byerly137pro 01-19-2005 6:56 PM

All the lakes in Muskoka are frozen over right now...so no riding for quite a while.

trash 01-20-2005 7:28 AM

Hey Jamie, <BR> <BR>Boat show is March 3->6 at the convention centre. <BR> <BR>I'll be there as well! <BR> <BR>Trash <BR>

bradb 01-20-2005 8:15 AM

Rick, <BR>By the sounds of it, you will be able to wakeboard to work soon with all the rain you guys have been having! I think it is wishfull thinking that winter is done already! I usually wait until at least mid feb to re-commission the boat. <BR>B <BR>

lunaraven 01-20-2005 12:18 PM

Yeah were drowning here, I live next to the Fraser so I'm getting nervous. <BR>I should rephrase that the worst of the winter is over with. The rain will last a couple more months but it is 20 degrees warmer than a week ago and I will be on the water this weekend hell or high water. Well hell anyway...

bradb 01-20-2005 3:46 PM

Excellent! I love to hear about guys riding all year around here! I finally bought a house with a garage, so I'm thinking some early season skiing might be in my future now that I don't have to worry so much about getting caught without it winterized. My biggest prob this time of year is finding people to join me or at least drive the boat. <BR>Have a great weekend. If you are ever on the island and need a pull in the Parksville/nanaimo/port alberni area, drop me a note. <BR>B

Weather is being lame lately in BC... Too cold to wakeboard but all the mountains aren't getting any snow so you can't snowboard either. Only thing that stays good is surfing I guess.

airrantz 01-20-2005 4:55 PM

go snowboard...here in Washington my local resort got 6 inches of rain in 24 hours. Coming from a mountain that gets 400+ inches per year it just plain sucks here right now. The whole Northwest is hurting though so there's probably a ton of ticked off people like myself out there.

airrantz 01-20-2005 4:58 PM

Lonny that post wasn't for you, I hear yah about BC, I'd drive up there if it were any good right now.

pittsy 01-20-2005 5:57 PM

Toady the weather the some what nice, higher 60's but certainly not warm!<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/angry.gif" border=0>

afrodeziak 01-21-2005 3:12 AM

Well I am in Helsinki, Finland for school this term... I don't miss the -30 weather

greenthumb 01-21-2005 6:17 AM

Toronto, today, -26 now with windchill of -34.

lunaraven 01-22-2005 8:01 PM

Thanks for the offer Brad, I get to the island now and then so I'll keep that in mind. <BR>The Lake was overflowing this morning, every log on the beach is now in the water. Rain poured constantly, great time nonetheless.

bradb 01-22-2005 9:10 PM

What was the water temp Rick? Or do I not want to know?! <BR>B

lunaraven 01-24-2005 8:56 AM

Im not sure but much warmer than a couple weeks ago, with all the rain I would guess 6-8 C.

wes_can_riders 01-24-2005 10:14 AM

It sucks here... there was tons of snow on the mtn last week and it really warmed up and melted it all away.. but its still to cold to wakeboard... I wanna ride NOW
