Got my new 40th Anniversary X-star and had to take a set behind the boat.. everyone thought I was nuts.. espically since I was waving at the fisherman who were in awe looking at me.
54 degree water and first time on a board since October... mean rusty joints.. only front ballast in the boat... 23 mph
Thats nothing man. First set for me I fell twice walking down the iced over dock and had to leave the cover out to let the frost melt off it! Wouldn't have been worth it though if the lake didn't look like this...
*note the many boats in the marina and the leaves on the trees
Yes that is ice you see, there was just enough room to get a few tricks in before you had to turn around. That lake still has 75% ice cover. Water temp- Upper 30's.
