Impressive. I'm surprised you have any open water up there.

We used to surf in the winter and we'd spray the riders feet with the hot water. Worked pretty damn well.

did you add a kit to your boat or stock setup? I'd like to add one to mine.

I kinda pieced it together actually. Obviously bought the control valve and sprayer head and hose from whitelake I believe. Ordered a couple pumps one for hot and one for cold from amazon. I think having 2 pumps seems to work alittle better.

The other stuff needed came from local hardware store. I hated cutting all the glass but turned out perfect.


And thanks for the vote to Canadian citizenship!

Sure, ordered most stuff from Bakes I think.

Shower head, hose and mix valve:

And ordered this pump from Zoro, can get by with one but I had an extra from another project so I used one on the hot and one on cold and works pretty dang nice.

Also installed this filter inline, really keeps the crap outa the shower head:

rest of stuff like hoses, clamps, fittings got from hardware store. Needed some wire, a fuse and relay which got from RadioShack.

What was your water temp? We went out on Sunday and it was 46 degree water.

We didn't have a hot water shower, but my buddy did bring a cooler jug filled with hot water. I surf with 3 mil booties and 2 or 3 mil gloves and was pretty comfortable.

Unfortunately, we had a little bit of fog on the way to/from our ride spot... but we made it, navigating by the GPS and Google maps on our phones!

Honestly never checked the water temp. All I know is if u went down and your hat came off your talking about a hella brain freeze for a couple seconds! No joke on that!

Man that is dedication I sit in my boat up in the garage and just dream of boating. Mad props! Where are you riding, I'm in the Fox Valley area.

Haha I hear u! But that 160+ water is alittle tough on the cold hands!

And Mark most my riding is done on the Rock river although I do spend some time on Monono and Kegonsa. Mostly only in the lakes when the water is cold! Otherwise way to many people on the Madison chain.
