Skis to Snowboard ?

I was talking to my neighbor and he has a snow board I can try. Is there a big learning curve ? Anything I need to know? Are you going to say I need a le...

Chicken Loop Rope

As I was replacing the parts(bearing) it became apparent that I was not going to get my old frayed chicken loop rope back thru all the components. I kno...

Re: Saturday

The Southsiders had a great day on Cannon today, there were four of us. We were flying two 14M T3s one 13M T3 and a Ozone 4.5M and had a blast. 90 % of the surface was covered with some form of snow and it was quite smooth. I could not believe more kiters were not out on such a beautiful day. I dril...

What type of loop do you use, I can probably find a picture on line ? The line broke 12" from the end so I was looking at repairing these myself for the short term.

Do you have lines in stock ? Call me 651 269 1755 (Craig)

Cannon Lake Last Night

A friend and I had a great session from 5:00 to 7:30 late night on Cannon lake and had a great time, it was warm so the snow was a little slow but we had the lake all to our selves on untracked snow. It was our first time going that late into the dark. We were amazed how well you could see the kite ...

Battery Operated air pump

What is the model of battery operated air pump that you are using that will get the kites filled up 90%

When I looked at Tighes one time I think I remember it was a colman

Do you have a model #

Thanks
