Taken with my new 70-200mm f/4 L lens. Nice improvement.

Wakeboard guys:

Me again, doing flatwater shenanigans. Me want surf.

Damn near fell off.

Bounced back.

Random hood pictures.

And finally - thank God for drain plugs, because He didn't bless me with hull-sealing skills.

It's getting better.

39.5 degrees today (water) and about 47 air. I am warmer in the wetsuit than I ever was in my drysuit.

Not really. It's a 4/3 suit. My Matrix is a 3/2, and this Ripcurl is almost as flexible.
It's great. Glued seams everywhere, this thing doesn't let any water in hardly at all. My core doesn't get wet.
Which kind of sucks, because that means I can't piss in it.

Don't remember what I used - it was two stage, and I put only about 3 or 4 coats of clear on.
I didn't ride much last year. :soapbox:

Looks cold, but probably not as cold as I'll be this weekend after I put my ski together.
This year sucks, I started riding a month earlier last year.
