Seattle is finally going to get a break in the weather. For the next three days I'll be riding this.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/521030.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR>It's about time.

That's what you think. I'm going to post this on <a href="http://www.powerturnersandtubers.com" target="_blank">www.powerturnersandtubers.com</a> <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

damn Cliff, that looks nice. I find out in a couple of days if that is my new back yard.

mendo247 11-20-2007 2:39 PM

What kind of temps you looking at Cliff?

dakid 11-20-2007 3:02 PM

nice water, but brrrrrrrrrrr........ <BR> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/521035.jpg" alt="Upload">

h2o_junkee 11-20-2007 3:55 PM

That water temp was taken on 10/5. It's under 50 now!

seattle 11-20-2007 5:03 PM

J-Rod, <BR> <BR>Believe it or not, I'll probably be dueling it out with the Inland Surfer Clan. They've decided surfing is the hip thing to do in the winter now. That Centurion of theirs throws a wake that that rivals a Bone Crusher double up.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/uhoh.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Coop, <BR> <BR>Probably around fifty degree water now, and air temps are in line with what Joe posted. As long as the sun is hitting our black dry suits it's fine. If it's foggy, you can get pretty chilly. <BR> <BR>Brett, <BR> <BR>Thinking of switching teams? <BR> <BR>Joe, <BR> <BR>Are you and Frankie planning on coming up Christmas? If you guys are, maybe we can grab Hahn while he's here and a couple of the other Lk Samm folks, and meet for lunch or something. Let me know.

dakid 11-20-2007 5:13 PM

cliff, not heading to seattle this christmas. we're goin' somewhere colder...nebraska (for frankie's sister's grad) then to south dakota for christmas! otherwise, it would've been great to come hang out! <BR> <BR>actually, now that i think about it, we're considering stopping in seattle for a couple days or so, so we'll let you know. <BR> <BR>thanks!

polarbill 11-20-2007 6:05 PM

Cliff, If things go as planned I will be moving into a house at the very southeast corner of the the lake. I plan on moving in in a couple of weeks. Looks like I might need to invest in a drysuit and make it out with you guys. The house has a dock and covered lift so if I can figure out how to run a heater into the engine compartment of the boat I might put the Cal-Air in the water. I guess since the house is about a 1/4 mile from the launch I might just have to do that.

dlamont 11-20-2007 6:26 PM

Was out on Sunday on Sammamish. It was cold but a bunch of fun and glassy. <BR>Brett, when did you get a Cal-Air?

tcluv85 11-20-2007 6:33 PM

Cliff - have no fear, the inland surfer boats are off the water. The lake is yours again. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by tcluv85 on November 20, 2007)

polarbill 11-20-2007 6:34 PM

Darren, right before Labor day. How are things going at the shop?

bailey 11-21-2007 10:34 PM

I don't know how you talked me into riding on friday but hopefully the water will be nice. The inland surfer guys won't be around for the winter so you will have the lake all to yourself. That is if you are crazy enough to jump in that cold water.

kent_fowlie 11-22-2007 6:18 AM

If you guys are looking for a third I'd be interested in being a spotter, and maybe riding.

BS Flowr long time no talk. Kudos to you guys for braving those conditions. I'd never do that thus my name poser<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

dakid 11-22-2007 1:48 PM

laci, you caved.

solo 11-22-2007 2:31 PM

Dude! That's not even funny. I'm cold just looking at those photos. <BR> <BR>Cliff I'll be up there for Christmas. No way are you getting me in that water anymore. I walked outside last night, thought it was a bit chilly. I put on a hoody and got in my car. Temp was still 68 degrees. I started laughing pretty hard! Man in Seattle if it was 68 degrees, Id be in shorts, T and driving with my windows down with my sunglasses on. I'm officially a wuss. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/sad.gif" border=0>

load 11-22-2007 2:40 PM

Cliff yesterday we had 64 deg, and water at maybe 60 and we thought it was cold, props to you. Happy Thanksgiving!

seattle 11-22-2007 3:03 PM

Doug, <BR> <BR>Trust me Buddy, I'd trade places with you guys in a heart beat if I had the chance. Up here if I want to ride, I have to brave the elements, and well... I'm not going to miss out on riding.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>It looks like you guys are gonna have an awesome time at your turkey weekend event.

norcalmalibu 11-22-2007 3:48 PM

you guys are nuts! I agree I'm cold just looking at the pics!

misteve 11-22-2007 4:51 PM

Damn it!! Of course the week I leave it dries up there <BR> <BR>I went to TN this week and walked off the plane to sun and 70.... <BR> <BR>Hope ya'll are enjoying it!

john30 11-23-2007 9:16 AM

Cliff I'm a little jealous. I'd be riding still if I didn't tear my acl. Thought about breakin the boat out just to tow people and get out on the water. Oh well.

misteve 11-23-2007 9:17 AM

Well, so much for 70, it was 41 this morning here....

eaglejackson 11-23-2007 9:59 AM

Sorry I missed it, Cliff and Laci. I would have joined you if I were in town. But I'm in Palm Springs where it's 80 degrees, and then Hawaii next week.

misteve 11-23-2007 12:21 PM

Man you have it rough Brad... ;)

liveoz 11-23-2007 1:12 PM

Cliff, <BR> <BR>Hope you are able to find good water. I'll just have to settle for Costa Rica for the next couple of weeks. I guess me and Brad will have to make do with temps in the 80's. PS- I am standing on ice as i took these pictures. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/521617.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/521618.jpg" alt="Upload">

eaglejackson 11-23-2007 4:25 PM

I was in Whistler last weekend for opening weekend. Sunday was excellent -- way better than I was expecting. We got like 4"-6" of new snow Saturday night. <BR> <BR>I miss the water, though, even with the cold temps. Hawaii (Big Island) should be a lot of fun. <BR> <BR>Have a great time in C.R. Troy!

drewsnautique94 11-23-2007 4:47 PM

you guys are hardcore

tcluv85 11-23-2007 6:55 PM

The water was great, something like 20 degrees warmer than the air when we started. Cliff's wake still takes a little getting used to after a summer on the wonderful X2 wake. I felt like I was learning to ride all over again. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/521681.jpg" alt="Upload">

bailey 11-24-2007 10:35 AM

It must be spring again. No ice on the ground this morning. <BR>Looks like the water was really nice for you.

noti_dad 11-24-2007 10:25 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH! <BR> <BR> -3C LOL!. dude...... +30C down under this afternoon and no chance of frost. Was offered a ride this morning but hasd plans and didn't want to chance the ankle re-covery with a fall. <BR> <BR>Side Note - Met Amber Wings parents on the Hawksbury Bridge to Bridge Ski Race this morning. REALLY nice people. Seems she is good friends with the folks we're staying with and knows Tracy's dad from the old racing days. <BR> <BR>Good Times! Cheers mates.

seattle 11-25-2007 12:01 AM

Had a chance to ride down under and didn't? Your officially gay. <BR> <BR>Retard!

noti_dad 11-26-2007 12:45 PM

I am Sofa King We Todd Ed. But not offically gay, I didn't surf. LOL!!! The diving today on the Barrier Reef should be great. LOL!!!! <BR> <BR>Troy's in CR, Brad's in Hawaii and we're here. Sounds like we are taking over the world. LOL! Be safe everyone! <BR> <BR>Belated Happy TG to all the MWHC group. See you soon.
