Baller ToddL Posted December 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted December 3, 2014 It's December now... Looking at taking a set or two Friday or Saturday here in TX. Who else is still at it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Cam Posted December 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted December 3, 2014 Skied with @deep11 today, 2 sets each air 5deg C but fired up with all the current discussions on BOS so just had to get on the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted December 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted December 3, 2014 I would have loved to get a set in yesterday it was 73 here. It has been 59 days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ToddL Posted December 3, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted December 3, 2014 Not sure of our current water temp in Central Texas, but I bet its near the 50-65 degree range. Air temps have been fluctuating from highs between 40's to 60's. So, we are sitting around a 30 Baller Index. That's tough when you are used to a BI of around 130!

Baller baja Posted December 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted December 6, 2014 Skied a couple of sets today with a buddy at his place in Palm Springs at beautiful Shadow Lake. No wind, no sun, air almost 70, water about 65. So comfy in our Camaro BlackTec 2mm full suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted December 6, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted December 6, 2014 The boat is gassed up, air will be 75, full sun, wind tops out at 3 for the day and my wife is willing to drive whenever. But pinched nerve in the back takes me out. Get to look at the glass water all damn day. Will be crying myself to sleep tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ToddL Posted December 6, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted December 6, 2014 @Wish - damn... Got to ski today, but winds around 10-20mph. It was really choppy. Water (best guess) was about 58-62 degrees. But had a blast. My ski buddy was trying a new-to-him Goode 9800. He was stoked. My Vapor rocked - chop, head, tail - all no problem. Also, tried out my new-to-me Radar Gravitron trick ski. My friend's boat wasn't dialed in for trick, but it seems really promising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller bassfooter Posted December 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted December 6, 2014 Saturday morning sets planned here in San Diego. Sunday morning, too. Spring suit at most for me, maybe trunks and heater shirt. My wife has her full suits packed, but she has an excuse. She's a native Southern Californian.

Baller 101driver Posted December 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted December 6, 2014 Dawn at the lake today, last ski of the season hear in England. Have had to winterise the boat after skiing or frost will crack the block again. minus one Celcius, zero wind, just the edges of lake frozen in the shallows. The very best time to Ski, just as dawn breaks, there is something kind of spiritual about skiing at dawn, definitely feeds the soul. Then as the sun rises the waft of eggs and bacon on the barbie drifts across the lake to remind you to feed the body. Sad that the seasons ended but looking forward to snow skiing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Wish Posted December 6, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted December 6, 2014 Got to live vicariously though a MidWest baller that visited me today. Super nice guy. And a damn good skier. Was hard to watch another skier on that mirror glass water with bright sun but I am glad someone got to break it today. He will be back tomorrow if weather holds. Driving for a skier on glass water is just as much fun right??....right?!?!?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller bowty Posted December 25, 2014 Baller Share Posted December 25, 2014 Currently at Swiss for 5 days, and today the air was roughly 60 and the water probably 65-68ish. Also I skiied with only a vest and shorts, no wetsuit. That in itself should add considerably to my BI score. Cold water actually feels really warm when you've been flying down a lake for 30 seconds and you get set down at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNski Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Two sets on Christmas eve. Water temp 55 air 68. Its California, we are spoiled. 2mm suit with short sleeves. Life is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
