Re: Strong NW Wind - Heading to Father Hennepin State Park

I would love to be there. I'm not too far - in Mora visiting family. I live in Portland, OR which means Hood River is my default spot. But I dig Mille Lacs. I didn't bring my quiver as I didn't feel like lugging it along with my kids' crap. On the off chance, is there any place to rent a kite, harne...

Re: Malmo Tuesday

Mark, it was nice meeting you. I too had wished I made it to Malmo to meet the MN kiters. My wife is from the area and thought Malmo beach and Reddy were the same. I ended up surviving. I got my lines crossed after a wipe out and had a bear of a time getting them undone. The kite kept pulling me dow...

Visiting Mille Lacs area July 27th-August 1

Hello, I'm a novice kitesurfer from Chicago who'll be up near Mille Lacs this week. Is there any hope for kiteable wind on Mille Lacs lake this week? I checked the forecast and it doesn't look too promising. Any further insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks
