RE: weather

Did you actually ride or just drive the boat around. I was out fishing a few days ago and the water was 40 degrees. Too cold for the wet suit. I need a dry suit.

RE: weather

Yeah, we rode both days this weekend.

Friday night lake temp 36*
Saturday 41*
Sunday 44.5*

Drysuit needed for sure, but not for long !!

RE: weather

wakeslayer, what drysuit do you own and would you recommend it? I have always wanted one but never ponnied up the $$$$$$.

RE: weather

You won't regret it. My drysuit has to be the second best investment in skiing i've made. It really extends the season.

MNsuper,
If you are in the 5'10 160-180 range, you cannot beat the price or quality on the Oneil Fluid.
Barts has a killer price on the Meds and also mention USA waterski for another 10%.
I got one and love it. http://www.bartswatersports.com/clos...uits/index.asp

RE: weather

the O'neill Hybrid is the absolute best drysuit I have ever had. just got it this winter, but used one last fall which sold me. Overtons has them for $359 or 379 I think. It is like a neo suit on the bottom and a bag suit on top. No question it is worth every nickel.

RE: weather

Maiden voyage for my new ride tonight. I think I'm going to leave the equipment at home though, I'll have enough to worry about.

RE: weather

mark-s, unfortunately I'm 6'2" and 210lbs. Looks like I need the XXL. $350, it better be worth it.

Fast, good luck tonight. You taking it out in MN?

RE: weather

Yep, probably Diamond lake in Dayton. Gotta drive by tonight to make sure the lake level is high enough.

RE: weather

That would be a bit tight. No matter what, do a web search and get a dry suit. You can ski/board for 8 months in minn with one. Skiwarm also makes a Sahara dry suit that is close to the Fluid. http://www.adrenalinewatersports.com...8&SubID=17

RE: weather

Given the weather shift, we got out for the first time SINCE it was nice out and whew!! It was straight up spring style!! A few weeks back with temps in the mid 70's water was up past 60 degrees, but now it's back into the low 40's. BRISK!! Drysuit required!!!

Incidently, I've owned a few drysuits and highly recommend a full-baggy design. In my experience they offer way more lower body flexibility & comfort when coupled with fleece pants underneath. Grizzly Sports (1-866-444-BEAR) has had killer deals on BARE drysuits for the past few years for around $230. Quite a bit more pricey, but maybe a hair more nicer is the O'Neill Boost. The main difference with the Boost is it has a neoprene neck seal as opposed to a latex one. It seems to leak a little more, but I find it easier to put on and some think the neoprene is a little more comfortable.

Spring riding is AWESOME!!
