So the wind isn't going to be very friendly today. We will be doing most of our competitions on Sunday. If we happen to get enough wind and we have enough competitors today, maybe we can organize a race today. Just looks like better wind and warmer on Sunday. The WAK will be out on the lake today an...

So the wind looks pretty lite the next couple of days. Believe me, the conditions are hard, icey and fast with not much snow. It is rideable, but it is especially chattery on the board. Skiis aren't nearly as bad. We are shooting for racing Saturday. Big air might be questionable. Anyways, we will b...

Looking for some winter kiteboarding fun? Then check this out! It is almost time for the 27th Annual Sturgeon Stampede on Lake Winnebago Feb 12-14 ! Only a 1/2 mile out from the shores of Fond du Lac, this event provides easy access to fun for everyone. More event info here! http://www.wakkiteboard...

Um, I guess you could if you really wanted to. Many of the local hotels are offering deals for the riders. The Retlaw Hotel in downtown Fond du Lac has a $59/night deal with free breakfast each day.

We have one of the WAK shacks out on the lake at the event site. Nothing like having a heated shelter on the lake to change in and to have a few beers in after riding. New site this year to move it closer to Fond du Lac. Should help to get more spectators and it will be easy to shuttle the riders ba...

Less than 2 months until we celebrate the 26th annual Sturgeon Stampede. This year has the vibe of becoming an epic year. Not only are we hosting the 35th annual World Ice and Snow Sailing Championships, but we have extended the Stampede to 4 days and added some new events including a kite fly-in, “...

Had some good riding again yesterday. Plenty of wind! We had a good amount of riders on kites and kitewings, so we organized a couple of races and even a big air. Wind forecast for today is not very good, but we will still be out at the event site messing around and partying. If we can get good wind...

Had a great ride on the lake today! Snow cover is good! Hard & Fast!! Ramps are looking great too! Wind is looking pretty iffy for Saturday, but tomorrow looks like a fun day to ride. Sunday will be the backup day for the competition. Tomorrow we will be busy finishing some set-up early, but hop...

Hope everyone is enjoying this cold winter so far! Riding has been pretty good around here. WAK shack has been on the lake for about a month now. Nice to have that warm shack to escape to between sessions! We are already in early setup mode for the Stampede coming up next weekend! Everything is look...

Happy New Years all! I hope you all made some great New Years resolutions this year. Every year I make these big resolutions like save money, eat healthier, lose weight, stop procrastinating, etc, etc, etc. And of course, about 5 days into the year I break every single one of my New Years resolutio...

Woohoo! We have the need to Stampede! ! Winds are looking a little light, but good enough to ride. It is going to be a good time! I hope to see you guys out there!

Hey Stampeders! We got great snow last night with the storm that blew through yesterday. We probably have 4-6" everywhere. The road is plowed out to the stampede site. We got 14-16"of ice! There are two bridges you have to cross on your way out to the site, but they aren't a big deal. Look...

Current update on conditions for the Stampede: We got the WAK shak out on the lake early last week. We had 14" of ice right at the site. We also built 3 ramps already. We rode several days last week. I rode Sunday and it was a little blown off in the middle of the lake with bands of snow here ...

We do have a printable registration form available NOW on our website with additional info. Check it out here!!
