Nice to see all the photos and video posted today. Hope to see this topic on a never ending roll.

A few pictures from last summer - on the White River (at Lake Wenatchee), Washington.

Cool river-running I used to swim in the Cascade mountain streams when I was a teenager and look at the trout  -  no way I could do that now.

SPEAKING of coooold water - there is some open water here at the Eklutna Power Plant - it gets its water from the bottom of a glacier lake (Eklutna Lake - Eee-KLOOT-na)  via a 6 foot hole drilled thru the mountain behind it. The water is  ..... not frozen.

I talked my wife into letting me bring one of my iSups and dry suit (and pfd - and leash ) to get on the water ONE more time this year.

I'm so out of shape - and balance! Should have brought my Blue Planet - 32" is a LOT more stable than 26"

Got a screen shot off some video my wife was taking - hope to have some nice SLR shots from my daughter later (including my nearly falling in but barely saving myself) - but for now

EDIT: it was 13f..

splashhh!

I actually managed to save this Got water in my ear, but not in my hair! At these temps, a dry head is a warm head - helps a lot on the walk back to the car. I call it success

^ Beautiful... and hats off to you for getting out there...

You people who go supping when it's cold and snow on the ground are really tough especially when the air temperature is 13 degrees F. BTW, the winter scenery is something to behold. So still and quiet too.

  I learned that I should use my wider board to practice. That "Slip and Dip" was chilly.

My daughter is a photographer. I can be at the same place with the same camera and she blows me away with her eye for the right shot.

This photo is hers too. Beautiful. And poignant... That swan should not be here.

Your daughter takes good pictures. She has that "knack" for taking good photos. She should make a good living as a photographer, whether employed for a company or as a freelancer. I don't have that knack and this is why I always appreciate a good photo.

brrr I like the ice forming on the board ! Saltwater? Looks tidal on the shore in some spots. I need warmer gloves - my 2mm neoprene gloves were not so warm. Supthecreek says bring the neoprene for if you get wet - mine were too hard to put on with cold hands. I'm going to look for big, thick mitts for "oops I'm cold now better go for the Gumby hands and go home!" .

It is at the Danube river. -2 degrees celcius, but less wind and dry air. So no gloves needed.

Went out for a couple hours on the Columbia River today. -5dgC in the sun. First pic is of the Lions Head pub (lower right) named after the rock formation behind, which kind of looks like a lion from the right angle. Definitely my favourite watering hole in the Koots.

From the "less is more" and "paddle what you brung" file...here's a flat water sesh on shorter 9' surf SUPs in the warm tropical water of the South Pacific...
Woulda been cool to have had my drone on that trip...had to make do with the polecam...;-)
