I tried to warn you.... Only way to break the curse is to:
1. Bring a banana on board during a tournament
2. forget to install the drain plug before launching, drive to the furthest point from the ramp on the lake and try to install the drain plug while still on the water
3. Pay Stratos' entry fee to the 1st tournament.
In all seriousness. the water is still freeking cold. it's a crap shoot going out this time of year.
