Does anybody know the water temp of the Willamette River near Newberg/Wilsonville?
|
Freezing cold.....
|
Sun this weekend, though!!
|
I have a shorty and a full suit. Should I try and ride with a shorty under my full suit?
|
It's been done before then again Dan was feeling brave I guess cause the water was 40 and the air was almost 50 haha. Cant say whether or not you'd be recognizable as a man anymore though <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/413093.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/413094.jpg" alt="Upload">

we went out 2 weeks ago and the water was 43 degrees, drysuit temps for sure!
|
Fricken cold!
|
we went out on FRiday the water was 50 really nice. Wetsuits worked for us. At newberg theres some snags but otherwise really nice Planning on getting out once a week or as the weather allows.
|
So would a shorty be enough in mid 50 deg. water? We've been wondering that ourselves.
|
Dan was wearing a shorty above in 39 or 40 degree water and was cold after but fine in the heated boat... 50's is still cold and Id prolly rock a full suit but a shorty is definitely doable if you can take it.
|
A pic from friday just a full suit and was hot.Water was above 50 really nice day. The snags get me sweating when turning dubs. If anyone is looking for a rider near newberg I live close by and am always down to ride with new people. <BR> <BR>Also Ive been riding down at devils lake alot and if anyone is down in lincoln city or on the lake always looking for a third so send me an email ill be there prob thurs-fri and whenever the weather looks nice. <BR><a href="mailto:mcpwake@gmail.com">mcpwake@gmail.com</a> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/413176.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by orgborn on February 12, 2007)

Mike what boat are you riding behind? That wake looks beefy!!!
|
X-Star With 800 pounds of lead and a 450 on each side of the engine plus stock ballast. The wake was good that day it was only me and one other guy. Most of the lead is up front and theres about 110 pounds of sand in each back compartment.
|
Is that the same boat Nick Hagman has been telling us about & inviting us to come over to P-town and ride behind? Alex is down<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0>

|
Mike what line length is the rider in the photo riding at? <BR> <BR>Tyler, I know most of the guys at the Oregon City store, does Dan work in Beverton?
|
Randy- Yeah I think he does hes in the pro shop. Pretty sure they always came down from portland to ride when I went.
|
Its 23.5 at 80 feet. No Randy Im a different Mike Sorry but as I said above anyone looking to ride in that area I would love to take out or go out with them. Im usually riding behind a red and black xstar or red and black x2.
|
Thanks Mike, were in Bend and boats still winterized, love to take you up on the offer when it gets a little warmer, your wake is bumping.
|
