The city admin from Sandstone wanted me to get some letters from climbers on how the train would benifit them. He was going to present them at the NLX open house in Sandstone Thursday. There is a supporter link on the NLX web site that people can use to show their support.

I have been trying to promote the proposed Northern Lights Express train service to the climbing community as a great way to access the climbing in Sandstone and Duluth and realized kiters would benefit too. Imagine hopping on a train in Minneapolis with kite and board in hand to head to Duluth for ...

Looks like Ossipee Lake 15 miles east might have beter launches. Looks like a better kite lake too. Hope you get out

Anyone heading up to Milly tomorrow afternoon, might want to find an alternate route, I'm sure traffic on 169 will be crazy. Also there is road construction on 35 at forest lake and north branch. Hopefully they have all lanes open.

Thanks Mike. I did like the quick link, but if I am the only one, I can get to it other ways.

There use to be a quick link to the Lakawa Chat forum on the left panel of the home page. What happened to it?

Bump.

Ha, Tighe the subject even said Malmo cleanup ;) Seriously both areas always seem to have plenty stuff that shouldn't be there and I totaly agree just hauling a bit of it home each time we ride is the best idea. However, If we have orginized cleanups and tell the land managers about it, they see gro...

Ok, this isn't really wind sports related, but I know there are some climbers out there and we all have an adventurous side. This Thursday night the Minnesota Climbers Association (MCA) is hosting a premier of the climbing flick Core by Chuck Fryburger. We are doing it for a fundraiser for the MCA. ...

So happy to see you guys got some riding. At 3:00 when I go there it was just raining down at the lake and I wasn't sure about going out by myself. The wind and lake looked great, but lots of rain. I spent the night in duluth and was treated to a bunch of snow when I headed south early in the mornin...

Not me, was to scared for a solo session.

Dave, I probably won't be up till about 3. Have fun on the new board

Tomorrow looks good and windy up on the mother. Any crazies thinking of going out in the snow? I'm thinking of heading up around noon. Have to be up that way anyhow on Saturday.

Planning on going to ramsy about 4.

Great meeting you too Dave. It was great out there. The waves were crazy. Might make it back over the weekend, looks like the wind will be good again - might even be a little warmer.

Jon, That was epic. Kind of had my tail between my legs when I first tried to get out. Once I did it was amazing to be on the outside and dodge the big waves. Crazy when you hear a roar behind you and realize that you just about got crushed. It was a great first session up there! Yep do the Omega-3 ...

I've got a meeting in Sandstone tonight at 7, so I might as well take the afternoon off and stop by duluth. It looks like its good up there now. I'm shooting for 22nd street about 1:00.

I have had good sessions on Big M on just about anything N. If the wind doesn't look good, I might just head up home and kite on Green. Think you have me mixed up with someone else Nate, it wasn't me you launched the other day. Big Marine is just east of Forest lake. There is an old boat landing on ...

I can't head back up to Milly, so I will probably hit Big Marine on the way home at about 3:00 (hopefully 2:30). Works great on a NW. Nate, where do you launch on FL for a NW?

I scored up there too. I was at reddy for a couple hours till about noon when the rain finally moved in. Was great to get back up there. Wish I would have known you guys were on the west shore. It was pretty lonely at reddy by myself. Aaron came over with Brock to keep me company tho. What a great s...
