I was thinking and... Ive never understood the whining of people saying its raining. If these people havent noticed you kind of have to get in the water anyway... How many of you ride in the rain? I personally, enjoy it.

It is alright to a point. When it starts pelting you in the eyes, it can hurt. I also don't want all of my electronic equip to get soaked, but I will usually ride when most others won't.

I ride in the rain unless its raining really hard or there's lightning, then its time to take cover. right after a good rain is usually the best time to ride.

A light rain is perfect. I rode in a light rain last weekend and there was no one on the water accept us, no wind either. Lightning is dangerous when in a body of water. Shocking

I've actually been riding in hail a couple of times and one time it snowed.....
Rain is something i personally don't like riding in but what do you do when you really wanna ride...?

I've had some of the best conditions ever just AFTER rain.

if the rain is bothering the driver, rock some safety glasses cause it can get a little dark for sunglasses. or at least thats how i roll.

the reason i don want to ride inthe rain is because i dont want my board to get wet!!! Very Happy Laughing Laughing

i love riding in the rain most of time the water gets alot smoother if its not raing to hard the only thing i hat eis whenit rains hard it hurts youre eyes
