Baller ToddL Posted December 6, 2015 Baller Share Posted December 6, 2015 @gregy and I enjoyed some nice water today. Baller index 28.33. Wetsuits made it tolerable for us fragile Texans. I've skied at least 1 set every month for the last 4 years. Jan and Feb are tough. But, I can check off Dec 2015! Probably will grab more sets next week.

Baller Texas6 Posted December 6, 2015 Baller Share Posted December 6, 2015 We ski'd yesterday also. Terribly. But the water was unreal and the weather was California. Water temp here in Houston got my attention though, really couldn't breathe it was so damn cold. I have no idea how you guys up north do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Orlando76 Posted December 6, 2015 Baller Share Posted December 6, 2015 Whew, it was cold here in FL yesterday but we hammered through a set. Air was 72, water was 72, wind blowing 17mph. Sunny. December is getting too rough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MISkier Posted December 6, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted December 6, 2015 @LZywicki1, how do you like that Eagle drysuit? I'm looking to get another suit, so that I have a backup. I thought about going to the polar bear events yesterday. Did you do both Skiers Pier and Silver Spray? I've done both in the same day before. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.

Baller gregy Posted December 6, 2015 Baller Share Posted December 6, 2015 @Texas6 I was wearing a full Wetsuit and felt pretty cozy. You use a full suit? I played it safe only fell once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LZywicki1 Posted December 6, 2015 Baller Share Posted December 6, 2015 @MISkier Second year on the Eagle and loving it. The fit is great, not a lot of extra material.. Getting the suit over your head is a little difficult with the front zip, but you can zip it up or down by yourself. I looked at Silver Spray's site and didn't see anything, would have been the perfect day to hit both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted December 7, 2015 Baller Share Posted December 7, 2015 We had a clinic for the Texas A&M ski team on Saturday. Prior to getting in the boat to drive while MIke Munn coached, I stuck my big toe in the water. At that point I decided that the next time I stick my big toe in again to check water temp will be March of 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skihard Posted December 7, 2015 Baller Share Posted December 7, 2015 @ShaneH you should be embarrassed to even admit that! Heck we were skiing on Sat in just shorts. Was even nicer yesterday but I had to go out of town to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ForrestGump Posted December 17, 2015 Baller Share Posted December 17, 2015 I lied. I skied twice last week. Water wasn't an all too bad 65. But I'm done. Surgery on Monday. With them not wanting you to be in the water for 2-3 weeks afterwards, that's going to put me late january. No thanks. Now, I'll for sure wait til march.

Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted December 26, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted December 26, 2015 Reggie And I skied Christmas eve and Christmas day In SRB/Pickos. Three sets in two days in Dec has left me sore as hell! Not training for any upcoming events Regina is having a lot of fun with her skiing, we are basically skining it except for a rash guard as water is 72 and air 80! If the temps stay warm will ski again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricski39 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It's been a slow week at the office so I'm going to take a quick set during my lunch break today. I really can't claim to be tough as the current air temp is 72 and the water is 64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
