does anyone know if the ice is out on Waconia yet?

Has anyone been to Cannon lately? How is the water quality?
Could be the spot to be this Friday

thanks Rob I've sailed Clear Lake 3-4 times in the past few years but haven't been recently so just wanted to check on the current status. I launched from the public beach before without any hassles. I am always respectful of the locals so no fears. Had my first opportunity to sail Storm Lake Ia a c...

I heard you were at Clear Lake Ia on Memorial day. Do you know if you can still launch from the public beach in the downtown area? Also, how is the boat traffic?
I'm thinking this will be the closest wind spot this weekend.

Feeling the need to get into this conversation. I discovered SUPing 4 years ago and until this year was using my old Windsurfer standard. Decided to get the real thing after demo ing several at the Gorge on a no wind day. I have direct access to a small lake and take advantage of every glassy day I ...

After yesterdays super session I found a windsurfing universal on one of the parking islands. I believe it belongs to the person who drives the white Toyota pick up and sails Maui sails. I should know your name since we spoke several times,sorry.

If the forecast holds I will be down late afternoon

Dave, thanks for sharing the day. I can't believe I got on my little wave board for an hour. Father Hennepin rarely disappoints.
The web cam links will come in very handi for future sessions.

Does anyone have any experience sailing Lake Osakis? I'm looking for a good launch for a Northwest wind. Staurday looks really good in this area of the state.

I wanted to continue our conversation about Jeri. I'm getting ready to finalize plans. I tried an old number but its no longer yours.

A couple of us coming down from the big city. See you around noon.

Does the point work for NW or would the marina in Pepin on the Wisc side be better?
Also what is the best source for current conditions in Lake City?

Randy, by the time I was able to leave the office I decided it was too late to drive to Milacs and still get much sailing time. I headed west to Waconia instead of White Bear knowing the wave action should be a little better. I wasn't disapointed. 6-8 windsurfers & 3-4 kiters enjoyed 4.5 conditi...

Anyone thinking about visiting Father Hennepin for Halloween?

What a day! This was my second trip to Superior. The first was very humbling. Lots of fun but not much real sailing. This time was humbling but not embarassing. Finally found the groove on the inside. Thanks to tips from Randy and Chip! The unlimited reaches, play the waves, jumps, slash, outrun the...

Anyone familiar with the current conditions at Cannon?
This is historicaly the worst time to dip into the waters at Cannon but the wind could be good here Saturday.

Does anyone know the condition of the water quality? Looks like Cannon could be a good spot for the south push today.

When and Where?

I would like to add an additional perspective to this discussion. I found Randy's experience to be a good illustration of the issue of a safety zone around either windsurfers or kiters. Being a windsurfer I am very aware of the space I need to maintain between myself and another windsurfer when eith...

Thanks for all replies. Board is on it's way.
