When do most people stop heading out to Havasu? I know the weather is great up there but when do most people call it quits for the winter and when do they start up again?

We do not get to havasu. But we go to the lower river through the end of October, then start again in April.

Never, well the only month I have missed is December. We go year around, but just not as often during the kids school year.

Same here, boating season for us is mid April to mid October. Once it starts to cool down it's time to put the boat away and breakout the sand toys. :rollside:

I dont go to Havasu either. We go to Blythe and normally can go there from early May and mid to late Oct.

Ditto for us. Winter is great in Havi. We just bundle up for the boat rides or get stuff done around the house and chill.

Probasbly the only month I dont get out to the River is December (too busy with family stuff and usually $$ is pretty tight)
Other than that I go year round. I would say I probably make the majority of my trips sept-november and then April-June.

Nice. I say prop it up to a 30P Bravo and let her rip. I'll even race you on Saturday during the winter. :p

wow I did not know that people went year round up there. Maybee this year when I go to Dumont Dunes I can take an extra few days and take the boat out as well.
I have HID's on both of my banshees. :220v:

We will definetly try to get out at that time. :)
Nice. I say prop it up to a 30P Bravo and let her rip.
I really want to try a 30 in the winter and see what she will do with it, I think I might gain an extra 2mph :crossx:
I'll even race you on Saturday during the winter.
You dont want none of this 29' in the winter :crossx: ............... How many lengths do I get for a head start.:p :rollside: :)
