Vibe is alive! Real nice glass off a day after another winter storm. One of our more beloved spots here on LBI, NJ. Second sesh w/paddle mount. Feeling ALOT more comfortable w/it already.

Was benched for two weeks w/a wrecked knee from snowboarding. Finally had a go in some decent surf here in NJ on the first day of spring. Paddle mount working well and sure felt good to get back. Funny thing was I didn't hurt my knee riding, I did it trying to get up from a sitting in the snow position after clippin in.

Great shots. You're way off that tail so you always ride like that or do you step back above the tail for sharper turns and sprays.  I'm try to get this thing to throw better. I put some quads on and been riding on the tail. Work in progress.

For down the line cruzin' to make sections I'm more forward. For turns and lips def move back to the tail. Vid here from my March session might show it good.

I love it! I have skied in -40 degree weather with even colder windchill for a couple runs, give you props for going out in 3 degree weather into water. Love cold water SUPing here in colorado. Great shots and video!

Thanxz, Mtn. I forgot this thread was started in the winter. Today was REAL warm. I took the hood off for a bit when the sun came out. And the wettie is thinned out a bit, 4/3 full, 3mil gloves, 5 mil boots. Dead of winter here in NJ i rock a 6/5/4 full, 5mil gloves, and 7mil boots.

What is air and water temp right now? I was in river yesterday and it was 55 out, and I would guess water was mid 40's-50. Had a 4/3 full, Teva river shoes, pfd and I was sweating at take out. Been in the 20's for a week prior.

In NJ tday at 9AM my estimate is air = 50F, water = 50, wind = light. Water is too cold for river shoes, feet would go numb. Sure felt good to ditch the hood once that sun came out. Boosted air temp to about 60.
