Which boards are you waiting on?

You still riding Havocs this year? Add any C-kites to your quiver?

I'm riding the Liquid Force Envy. They're a slightly delta shaped, low aspect, SLE kite. Similar to the Wainman kites Chooch was riding last year. If you saw some of Chooch's moves last year, you'll know why I picked these. The shape provides C kite grunt, SLE range, and no fifth line.

The two boards I'm waiting on are the Concept DLX 142 and Influence Grind 142. They're in a shipping container on a boat somewhere in the middle of the Pacific. Pretty sweet boards and I'm stoked they're doing a 142x43 this year. Last year the biggest was a 138x42. I'm 200lbs and when I put boots on a board I tend to sink it, so having the bigger size means I'm gonna have way more fun!

I ordered a twin skim cause I think it'll be more fun. I only ride strapless really in light wind.

What is the water temperature (approximately) now; especially that there is lame snowpack?

A toasty 44 deg. at the Bonneville Dam. Looks like its right on par with the 10 year average so I would guess that the amount of snow pack has little to do with the water temps right now.....guessing it might warm up a bit quicker than usual in the spring?????
