I've had to do that before up in Patten,ME Spring riding in April several years ago....it's a little scary when it's freezing out and you have no choice but to cross.....or turn around knowing you won't have enough fuel to make it back the way you came,then pray someone comes along that can help.We crossed....but the scary part is knowing that if you don't make it...your riding suit acts like a giant sponge...adding another 75lbs once it's soaked,weighing you down...down under the surface! :x

I'd love to try it in the summer time in an extremely shallow pond though.

This pond is about 3 feet deep at the deepest spot,if the wind wasn't blowing so hard we would have been doing drags,It's Nunavut Day on the 9th,hopefully it will be nice out and I'll smoke everyone,lol,gotta get some practice in before then,gonna swap the skis from my F7 too,these skis kick up a lot of water,my boots were 2/3 full,haha
