Everyone please post up your May wakesurf pictures. <BR> <BR>We had a touch of rain here in NorCal today. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/692627.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/692628.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/692629.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/692630.jpg" alt="Upload">

Must have been COLD for Dennis to put on the wetty!!

i've been dreaming of a warm lake but i had to settle for this last week end <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/692734.jpg" alt="Bridger Bowl MT">

WALove to you still have fresh pow?! I think all of our resorts closed on 4/26 and it was pretty slushy at that point. <BR> <BR>DTW - not really cold, but we make Dennis do double duty as ballast, so he has to sit in the left rear corner. It rained pretty good while we were out, so he was just keeping his clothes dry and staying relatively warm by wearing the wetsuit. <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

The lifts closed down in mid april but we have gotten a couple feet in the mountains since then. Probably 8" last night. This spot was only a 20 min hike from the parking lot. Southwest Montana can get snow any month of the year, but their are no surfable lakes within 200 miles or so. I won't get back to washington until later this summer so i have to get my shred on some how.

Thought this was a fun shot<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/692812.jpg" alt="Upload">

wave looks good, if you play with the trim tab,you might get more vert in the lip.your stoked.

yeah I have better pictures on the may ice breaker thread

whats the water temp.

Our water on sunday was 44 in the shallow part of the lake and 41 in the deep part. It's one of the deepest lakes in the world, it actually has a navy sub testing base on it!

your the man ,thats cold I surf up here and 50 is the coldest it gets in the ocean maybe one or two days a year 48 but your paddling alot in the ocean around here.in the lake the water at the coldest is 54 to 56 near my house in the winter.

Drysuit is the only way to go. I can't even feel the waters cold!

duffy what time of year do you start to trunk it

It depends on the year, but hopefully sometime this month! I can usually go without a wetsuit at around 60+ and I usually start wearing one again in oct.

nothing to post <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/angry.gif" border=0>

Dad, please get a chamois cloth &amp; wipe that lens off.

It's EPOXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! Or at least was. I tried to clean it up, but I think I may have screwed up the lens at this point. I should NOT be allowed to touch cameras! <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

Looks like the lens works fine. Unless you scratched it, should still be okay. Use whatever solvent you have to break down epoxy &amp; rub that stuff off.

Ah, at this point just throw more epoxy on, go for a holga look!

^not a bad idea really.

Lens have optical coatings. If you use a solvent you may remove the coating and negatively impact optical performance. The the camera or lens is at all expensive call a camera shop.

You can't get rid of epoxy, especialy when it is on (probably) plastic lens. You scratch it and destroy coating. Just NEVER EVER touch you lens. For cleaning is best air blower, (camel) brush and lens pen with dry carbon. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0>

ok now when you have camera for shaping/glassing room you can get another one for all other clean enviroment <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

I was down there today too, Jeff. <BR> <BR>I've got the burns to prove it was 101! <BR>Great temp to ride in.

James &amp; Jeff, for background, I was the driver of the dark side boat at the WWSC here in Nashville last year (e.g. James' "staging" boat). Well, My wife and I were in Napa &amp; Sonoma all last week celebrating an anniversary. I saw a few signs for local lakes and was wondering if you guys were near. Since the southeast has been socked in with rain for weeks, I was envious of the nice weather out there all last week. I'm hoping to get our Enzo out this coming weekend (alas, prediction says 78 &amp; 40% chance of storms <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/sad.gif" border=0> ).

Yes Patrick we remember you. You were exceptionally pleasant to chat with while waiting. I know that Judy specifically thanked you. Isn't the Napa area beautiful? Lush green rolling hills in the early spring. We are directly east of that area by maybe 200 miles. <BR> <BR>Congratulations on your anniversary! How many years for you two?

Andrew, Bet you wish you had some of my sunscreen now. No burns for me. Had fun riding with you and Dennis. Now I just have to learn to "Do something cool"

Took this fine picture this morning..... Its a long weekend in Canada..... 3 days of fun <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/697729.jpg" alt="Upload">

^^^ and no, that is not foam from shaping boards

Jeff, <BR> <BR>Thanks for asking! It was our 20th, actually. Our third time to that area. Beautiful, indeed. <BR> <BR>Here's to everyone having a great year wake surfing!

James, yeah the water is so beautiful there you can easily see 25 feet deep. It's glacier fed so it's damn cold though.

54 degress was the surface temp and yes it does make it a little more fun when the water is that gorgeous.

heres a couple from mt. 48 water temp 80 air, no skin showing, and no one on the lake!<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/700144.jpg" alt="Upload">

Nice, by the looks of it you could surf and snowboard in the same day. Probably be just as cold doing either!!

My brother going ropeless his first time out. This was in Folsom glass, meaning really choppy. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/700236.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR>Me <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/700237.jpg" alt="Upload">

your brothers regular wake looks so much better what happened to the goofy side

Goofy side is never as clean for us. Plus at Folsom, the size and shape of the wake changes with every roller that comes through, which is every couple of seconds.

nice photos wave looks fun.

So, what board was Corey on?

Rob what board is that in the first frame?

Here are a few first time surfers over Memorial Day. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/702040.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/702041.jpg" alt="Upload">

So, what board was Corey on? Rob what board is that in the first frame? <BR> <BR>Don't tell me! Let me guess. Blunt nose, twin fin, logo placement, looks less than 5' - is it an EB56?

Thanks, it was a very fun wave/day. <BR> <BR>You're close, Corey's is his custom board though. I believe its close in shape to the 56 though with some tweaks, i think its a 4'6" but I'm not positive.
