I'll be riding the great lakes until there is too much ice to make it worth my while to push out...or when i leave for a month before daytona. Water temps are still in the lower 60s here

i was at daytona once riding one weekend with slutty.. the ice storm was so bad it forced us into a tiki bar on the beach.. we had no choice but to resort to drinking copious amounts of alcohol just to stay warm and survive. it was horrible. horrible!

yeah... that what sucks about daytona.... the ice and lack of bars...

LOL.... HA HA HA HA....

aight, so how quickly does the beach drop off and get deep? how far out do you need to ride to not hit bottom on a big nose stab etc?

Seen the vids of previous years... guys going huge on BF's and stabs etc. Just curious about the underwater features.

Daytona has a very gradual slope and the bottom is all sand so it always changes... Rule of thumb is waves break in deeper water the more gradual the slope is. A 10ft wave will break in 13ft of water, like a 5ft = 6.5ft deep... the Bathemetry is always changing when you have a sand bottom...
