I took what will most likely be my final outdoor paddle for the season yesterday.
Air temp was -11 Celsius and the water temp was below 0.
It was a really fun paddle – but the ice flows are getting really thick – up to a foot of solid ice.
I can no longer smash through them and spent a lot of time slaloming around them looking for a way through to open water.
The other limiting factor is the weight of the board – after a 45 minute paddle it ended up being about 50 lbs from all of the ice that formed on the deck.
Just figured I would share the stoke!
