Last run of the year

[High altitude]

Last slalom run of the year yesterday. The water was cold (39) but the air was great (55). Before I put my drysuit on, I was in shorts and a tee shirt. Absolute glass on the lake. Just my wife, dog and I. Neither of them wanted a set so it was just me. Pulled the slalom course right after the run and then winterized the Nautique. Surfed a few hours later on my buddy's 210 and then winterized his boat as well. Once again it reminded how lucky I am to live on a private lake.

The lake will probably be frozen by next weekend. 63 sets in the slalom course (8 pass average for each set). Dozens of surf sessions. Increased my PB to -22 off. Almost made a 360. What a great year! Hate to see it end but 4 inches of snow are in the forecast for Wed. Bringing the snow skis in for a tuneup this week. -Marc

Running the seasons right up onto each other! Drain the block between runs playing this close to snow?

In all honesty I won't ski until December. No need to trash the skis on the rocks.

I will definitely try and snow and water ski in the same day in the Spring. I haven't done that in about four years, but it's always fun.

What dry suit you use? Any suggestions? Wouldn't mind extending my season.

I have owned an Adrenaline Watersports dry suit for 15 years without issues.

I use the Jobe Hybrid. I found it on Amazon for $239 two years ago. It's basically a cheaper knock-off of the Obrien Assault Hybrid. I've had both and the work equally well. The only problem with the Jobe is the neck seal. Obrien uses thicker neoprene. The Jobe one tore after one season. Got a little sub 40 water down the back last week. Not exactly how I wanted to finish!

I've used the baggy drysuits as well as the 100% neoprene ones....but I really like the hybrids. It seems like it gives me the added flexibility you want when skiing or surfing but still is inherently warm.
