[roadtrain]

Can anyone answer this one.???
Does the water temperature have a difference in a boards' performance.????

percentage wise, temperature has very little affect on water density.

http://antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/se...r-density.html

water density would only affect buoyancy.

and buoyancy has very litte affect on skimboard performance.

So overall, the affect seems like it would be very very small.

Furthermore, I have never noticed a difference.

thats deep

[amosb72]

it does affect wax though

[Duffskim]

but they have different waxes that adapt to different temp situations

[bhassan]

it would have to be very cold, like near freezing to probably be able to feel a difference in water density, becaue that is when the water molecules start bonding together.

one guy on that forum is selling an ultra for 400 bucks, a wedge for 300 and a carbon exile for 100 ill take the exile.

If that guy didn't put rocket launchers on it then its not worth it.

woah thats all a little too complicated for me

water temp has no effect. Cabo- warm water and great waves.

in south carolina the water is a cool 86

[vicskim76]

wow aaron. please do not ever set up these mb's like that one.

[UmmmmIdk]

unless you go skimming in the arctic on a frozen mass of water, then there is a difference.

[ejb]

ugh i hate cold water

[DanielSon]

Whats wrong with out message boards?

uh is it weird that about 3 weeks ago i was in cabo the the water was colder than newport...

i was expecting it to be warmmm but it was a bit chilly

[Tweedle]

ugh i hate cold water

actually some hot days in sfl the cold water feels rele good

[ejb]

yeah if its like a hot summer day then cool water is fine but like, you kno

[RexSkimmer]

cold water slows you down, but doesnt effect the board

[Aaron Peluso]

are you guys just making this stuff up? there are so many random statements in this thread with no backup... its silly.

if you think you know something then at least state why you think you know it. instead of "it would have to be really cold" why dont you click the link that is in this thread and see foryourself exactly what temp has what density. instead of stating "it slows you down" at least say "I heard from my stoner hippy buddy that it slows you down..."

i was talking about how you physically run slower when you're cold

" If the water ever drops below 60 degrees, you can't get out to the waves as well. Skimmers attempting to do so usually will sink before ever reaching 5 feet. "

haha.

So no-one skims in the arctic,
You are saying , then there is a differemce,

Please do share your experience/opinion,

I Totally agree.

Thanx azza, I was trying to raise an educated discussion.
