When do you guys usually quit for the winter, or do you just ride year-long with wetsuits or something?

Yeah, I live in Alabama, so it's still pretty warm here, too, but it gets pretty damn cold in the winter. I posted the message because we're having our first cold night up here (that feels weird calling Birmingham "up here;" I live in the frickin' Deep South and I'm sounding like I'm from Canada or something).

Singapore, you can ride everyday day of the year. Only lightning can stop us...

Year round, but I'll probably skateboard a little more. I think I might go snowboard for a few days this year too.

Drysuits are really warm BUT heavy, uncomfortable, expensive and they stink...

Yeah, I'm probably just being a whimp and I should ride year round, but I just hate cold water, you know?

That's wierd, somebody changed the words in my post!! I guess you aren't allowed to say the "p-word" on this forum, you have to say "whimp" instead. Oh well, that's cool anyway; it doesn't really matter.

yeah man check the thrift stores if your looking for wet suits. there usually striff and pieces of crap. but i'm poor so give it a look

yea i would still be going out but my dad alrady winterized our boat like 2 weeks ago. i will have one more time in nov. when i go out w/ jake in nov. to break his dads record.

Michael Manzer,
it will be kind of hard to go out this winter if the lake freezes over again Very Happy

I went to the lake today. Water: 10° celsius (= 50° Fahrenheit).
Booo..!
But the cool thing is that it was raining: all those small water drops falling on an ultra-glassy lake..! That's so sweet while riding.
