I've taken my slingshot pro golf bag a few times out to the Outer Banks via Delta, and have never been charged above and beyond the golf bag rate. Usually they just raise an eyebrow and say "golf clubs?" "yep." The thing is, then you have to hand it off to the "oversized&quo...

Ahh, good call, Tighe - I'm pretty sure we've got a logo stencil sitting around somewhere. I was worried he'd want to send it to Fastsigns or wherever it is we get our vehicles wrapped. At least now I've got some alternatives. I guess it came up because they're putting 96.3 NOW on a big ice house on...

So the President of my company walks in today. "Hey Jon, don't you like to do that waterboarding...er, the kitejumpin'...you know, with the thingamasurfer?" Yep. "Well, howdja like a new kite?? A nice BIG one with our logo on it...that you can fly all over Lake Minnetonka?!?" I t...

I'll join the Wac party after work Thurs, eta 6...hope to see some other evening riders!

Jon

Cool video Jay!

I'm sure it's been discussed on the forum before, but what kind of camera is that...that you can attach to the kite? I'd like to get one to capture a few winter sessions.

Jon

I'll be hitting up Minnetonka about 3pm if it looks like it's picking up. Fingers crossed...hope to see some of y'all out there.

Jon

Anyone heading to Lake Mtka? Is it safe? I'm in the west burbs for Xmas and thinking about stopping out there this afternoon...

Here's a video of the jump...

Jumping the pier is not banned, but they "urge people not to try it". Let's see how well that works out...

Thanks for the info on Jockey's Ridge Geo - been to the dune a few times, but didn't know you could kite right off the back of it. We usually stay up near Nags Head, so there aren't many kiters and you usually have to get creative finding a launch area on the sound side. I've read that August is the...

OBX....cool! I'm heading out there for 2 weeks at the end of July. I was out there last summer in August, and the hotspot was definitely Kite Point just south of Avon. It's right next to Canadian Hole, but double-check your map because the Hole is windsurfers only. Better yet, hit up REAL Kiteboardi...

I'll try to make it over later this afternoon too...

Jon

I'm with u eu han! Will be out there noonish as well.

Jon

Weird, same thing happened to me today at Calhoun...about the last 3 inches of my donkey dick snapped off, so now it doesn't reach the loop!

Can I just buy a new dick from the ball down? Without getting a whole new chicken loop setup?

It's a slingy 9m t2 bar.

Jon

I'd like to get out to nokomis on sat as well, if ppl are heading that way. Probably will be able to make it around 3. Hope 2 see some peeps out riding!

Jon

Gonna hit Waconia, hopefully by 4, see yall out there...

Jon

I was not able to make it to ML this wknd either, but Waconia Sun and Mon were incredible!! For those out there earlier today, I was the newbie trying to hold down the red/white/black 9m T2 for most of the afternoon. What an amazing session. And many, many thanks to the windsurfer who grabbed my boa...

Cool, thanks for the advice all! It will definitely be a close call this afternoon - hopefully the guy at the ticket counter is in a generous mood today...

Jon

I'm heading out to the Outer Banks tomorrow with the fam, and thought I would try to score some sessions down in Hatteras while I am there. Have never flown with any of my kite stuff before, though. I heard that now they are making you pay just to check one regular bag?? I can't imagine what it will...

Thanks, Micky, I may be interested...email me details/price/pics if u got 'em.... jonnyjingle at gmail dot com

Hey all, I'm sure this has been asked, but I'm trying to gather as much info as I can to buy my first board. Just started kiting on the snow this season, and I am planning on hitting the water for the first time when it warms up. Ideally, I'd like to buy just one board that will work well in the maj...
