Love this time of year. Lakes are calm and glassy, don't have to worry about amoebas lol, and it's still plenty warm to ride. Shoot probably don't even need a spring suit.

this is precisely why I'm applying (and hopefully getting into) grad school there next fall

4 degrees in California! Hope they winterized their boats, do you Florida guys know a good realtor and property manager? I want to buy a nice condo near Orlando so that I can wakeboard/surf year round. The interests rates are low, should be able to buy fairly cheap price for a nice property, and I would have No problem getting a loan. Its time to start wakeboarding every day!

Man how much I would like 70 + deg right now... Haven't been above freezing for a week now but the snow is here and it's time to shred. Like time is awesome and snow time is awesome. Best of both worlds living in UT...

Jo, we deal with a few through the shop. I can PM you a reference on some guys that deal with lake front and nicer area homes/condos. Let me know.

pretty indisputable for the purpose of why this thread was started tho. Best for wakeboarding. Pretty sure your 3 month season up north doesnt hold a candle to FL year round boarding

Nice pic James! Where is that at? I'm not sure what Jeff Mn is saying but I'll play! These pics are yesterday, Orlando, and no spring or full suits whatsoever

Depends on where you are and what waters you're dealin' with. Some of the DARK lakes (Santa Fe, Alto, Weir) here in North Fla can get PRETTY cold even with ambient air temps as warm as they are right now they can still get pretty nippish so springsuits are a good idea. sometimes full suits are a requirement as the water temps can get to the upper 40's-low 50's. Mid Fla (Orlando/surrounding area) and South Fla are usually ther better places to be without suiting up. better to bring them anyway, just in case since the water temps can get cold soon.

Very nice man, nice wake as well, clean.

steezyshots 12-09-2013 1:39 PM

Yeah but, Florida SUCKS for everything else other than wakeboarding and cocaine
