    Time for the season to start!

    Picking up the boat next week I hope, have new bindings in the mail, should be getting my flow-wrong replacements soon. Shucks, Bring on the season is what I say! :mrgreen:

    Anyone else getting stuff/ getting ready to kick off the season?
    How about \"Chales\"?

    RE: Time for the season to start!

    Spent most of the weekend waxing, polishing, cleaning, fixing little things, and making a list of a handful of items to pick up. Probably could have been in the water in an hour if the weather had been nice, but with lousy weather, what the heck, a toothbruch and qtip detail. BKH

      I'm in the same boat as you Richard, next weekend it gets wet, also hopefully w/o the flow-wrong valves... It felt good to finally see something behind the car on the highway, in the hail.. :???:

          Yup, same boat as everybody else...Just a little spring cleaning going on. Tuned up the engine this weekend and got it "summerized". Started it up on the first try! Little smoky cause of the fogger, but other than that, it was good to go.

          Within the last couple of weeks, Ive installed $700 worth of stereo equipment(sounds awesome), cleaned the crap out of the inside(magic erasers), re-finished my teak platform, and today I am dropping the boat off to be stored for a day or so to get my trailer rhino lined in yellow. Hopefully it comes out bada$$!!

          Now all I have to do is go find a lake somewhere, as I am new to the area. Any of you fellow "Indian's" know of a good place to board and ski? I have heard Lake Lemon is pretty decent. Let me know!!

          Bring on the warm weather!!!

              I sumerized and put it in the water this weekend. It was too cold to board but it was nice to atlease get the old boat back in the water. Supposed to be 80 next weekend. I am going to try to get the board on then.

                  Went out today, Air temp was 67, water temp 51. kept switching between sun and clouds all day. Great to be back in the water though!!! also I had one of those o'neill hybrid wet/dry suits on, and aside from my hands head and feet freezing, the rest of me was sweating like crazy. if you ride cold water alot, I highly suggest one. oh yeah, riding in Wisconsin, Big Cedar Lake (near West Bend) Season is on!! Get Some!!

                    Went out today for the 10th time. Only bad thing about Colorado is that there is no CC dealer. Love everything else.

                    Yes sir!

                        DRAGON - Did you sleep in? We've been out a couple times. Saturday was AWESOME in the NW.

                          Second day out was last Thursday afternoon - water was 60, air temp 68 (at Fern Ridge Res, Oregon).
                          Supposed to be in the mid to high 70's this week so we hope to get a day or two in after work this week. Maybe will be able to dump the full wetsuit and put on the shorty.
                          Spring has finally sprung here in Oregon.

                              Wakefun do you have a all white SAN with the black backwards "N" swoosh?

                              We still haven't had the chance to pull the boat out of storage. Ugh. Wednesday though for sure, then hopefully riding soon after that. I've never actually ridden fern ridge, But maybe I will take the SAN out there for an early season ride before we tow her over to Florence for the summer.
                              How about \"Chales\"?
