I need some ASAP for a trip. Any leads appreciated.

Thanks, Ryan

Now it looks like the rain might hold off at least through the early afternoon!

On my way...

Looks like we have a window this am before the chance of rain increases around noon today. I'm going to try and get out there by 9:30. Would love company!

Looks like we have a window between now (7:00 AM) and late morning with not too much rain and storms. I'm heading out right now to Park Point. Yummy!

I'll be out there getting a licking from Mother Superior if it isn't too stormy...

Just moved back from DC to Duluth on F to help my girlfriend with her fall bird migration research up here. Caught the tale end of Father Friday on the way up and am super stoked for motherly monday. Will be there at 10 or 11. Ryan

I'm driving from Winnipeg to Fargo (I-29) and then onto Minneapolis (I-94 through NW Minnesota). The wind nd temps are looking really good--especially the western and northern parts of this drive. I'd love to get a ride in along the way. Anyone know of any good lakes/launches not too far from these ...

Sounds sweet.

Can't wait!

Just wanted to point out that Saturday night is looking sweet: full moon and lotsa wind. Be safe, but kiting at night is a Zen experience. I'll be looking for some friends to share the experience up at Mille Lacs.

Oh yeah, Big Creek is a "no beginner" lake. If you can't stay upwind and keep your kite in the air, PLEASE do not ride here. It is too tight, the launches are sketchy, and there are swimmers on the beach. One bad session and kiteboarding could get banned (which would be a juge blow to the ...

Hey Brian, There are 5 kitesurfers in Central Iowa. Alfie and I occasionally check this forum. Tom and his son Steven don't. A new guy named Matt is learning. We all try and ride together whenever we can. We kite sailorville and big creek. Sialorville is flooded right now. Call me the next time you ...

Had to eat the ticket, felt sick about that. The concert was profound...I love that guy.

Hey all, Alfie and I (both kitesurfers from Iowa) have tickets to see Ben HArper at the Orpeum Theatre tonight (Monday) at 7:30. A friend backed out last minute and we have an extra ticket. The seats are pretty good I think, about half way back on the main floor. It should be a great concert. If any...

Hello Northerners,

I'm one of the central Iowa gang and am looking to kite Mille Lacs tomorrow (Fri) afternoon on my way to Grand Rapids. Which launches are best on a WNW day? Father Hen? Killer gusty and strong down here in Iowa yesterday and today. Hope to see you out there.

Thanks, Ryan

I'm with Nancy, I wish that the crossing and Birkie didn't coincide.
