To bad,our last tournament is over and the boat is up and redo for the winter rest.It was 44*F in the water and 41*F in the air,not too bad.
Made my tournament PB so i´m pleased,but one guy made it to first bouy in the first round(we had two rounds and final),after that he didnt get close to the water again that day.Ended the day with sauna and bubbelpool,great!!
If theres no ice,we were planing on a tournament on new yeareve,we will see....

Skied yesterday here in So. Cal.  Water temp was 60 and the air was 75 +. Skied in shorts and a top. I was surprised how comfortable it was as I haven't been in the water for about 3 weeks. I didn't set the world on fire, but then again I didn't expect too!!!    Fun Stuff!!!

ski'd all last week at San Marcos River Ranch!  Water temps were in the low 70's, air temps in the high 70's absolutely NO WIND and NOT A CLOUD IN THE SKY!

We skied Utah lake yesterday after we broke the ice out of the course with the boat. It took about 10 passes with the boat to get all the ice out of the way. So the air was 48 deg and the water! well it was frozen when we got there.
Skiing was great i ran two great -28 never tried a -32 with it being so cold. So bumbed we have no snow yet so we will stay on the water as long as possible.
? my ski performes better on the colder deeper water i am wondering what i need to adjust for the warmer shallower water? Any input would be great.

Thanks Colin

Im usin a billabong 403 foil wetsuit and some neoprene booties. they keep me pretty warm. the water is only about 50 with air temps around 55-60 on a good day, so im hopin to ski thru the winter

Agreed!  I skied a quick set in Arizona last week after not skiing for over a month and my opening pass was absolutely horrible.  Out of an 8 pass set, I only had one pass that I actually felt good about.  Didn't come close to my PB.  I'm pretty active and consider myself to be in good shape, but three days later and my arms and back are still sore!  If anyone has some good exercises to do in the offseason to keep those waterski specific muscles ready, please share.

Skiin at least twice a week up here in the pacific northwest,, the lake froze up this week, havin a cold snap here,, supposed to be back in the 40's and rainin by the weekeend, hope it thaws quick.

mid 80's all week.

60 degrees this morning at 7, 60 water. Getting all i can for the next 3 weeks, before is shut down

Still skiing, water is in the 50's, and the air temp ranges from 50-65.  My frequency has dropped significantly however.  I will continue to ski until about Nov. 1st as long as there are days with air temp 50+

Cool stuff! (of course rockin' Rush might reveal our age!) Man, that water was sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! The helmet cam is a great indication of where the head ( not necessarily vision) is aimed. Both sq. and plumb.

While watching, I kept wanting to stay looking at the pylon deper into the pull/edge change! -I wonder what my helmet cam would show?!?! -maybe I would be saying the same thing!?!?
