It was great seeing friends, but neither purchased or sold anything. Cold day morning for anything. Hope to have better turn out next year.

My wife, Kelly and I are contemplating our first South Padre trip this April. We are planning for one week, starting on April 5 (Saturday), and coming back the next Sunday. I would like to know if anyone from our lovely state will be there and would appreciate any input you might have. Current lodgi...

great description from Tighe. agree with BestKiter. Geoff, Peter and I joined the moon serenade from the Belair beach. Would have been more fun, but glad I was not out there with my 14 when the gusts start picking up. Took 50 minutes to untangle my lines from weed and knots after a very brief sessio...

Baxter and I will be there! Plan to work on the kite gear. Appreciate all the help and tips while there. Hope to get on the board soon (in the water
oooohh.. here goes to Fireworks. Happy 4th of July everyone!

about Hood River County parks, I found this comment link on the site, and if anyone is heading that way, and put some good words/comments for clean-up, maybe it will get done.

Excellent, Brian. Sounds like the usual crowd which is great. Got to do another Tequaria too while at it. Will see you at Tucker on July 18, Sunday morning as the usual local (OR-WA-CA) crew are leaving for home. Not sure about Scorpions, but I could give those a try. Hope to get more water time thi...

Planning on my fourth (Gorge-IV)consecutive trip to the Gorge between July 17 and July 30th. Curious who else is heading that way. I suspect to see the typical crowd + maybe more... Also does anyone know the phone number of David Cleveland? I sent him an email. Please let me know. baskint-at-hotmail...

Woah! Exactly. What a day for me... Second time on the snow/kite, third outing overall. It was a great opening tip by Tighe to pump the 10m, not the 14 m. Going in, I was quite nervous, but thanks to Randy and Avery (you guys simply ROCK!), I was able to set up and get going (even for a little bit)....

our pleasure, Steve. It was nice to be with the "wind" crowd. See you around!

Have fun, Jim/Patty and others who are lucky to be there. Hope to make it down there someday!

What a day before my trip! Seeing the forecast early, had to call the day off even though I am leaving the next day for the Gorge. Got the chance to practice the helmet/boom cam I got. Made a video last night and uploaded on youtube. Below is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5VcfsljZb4 Hope...

Woah... I am all smiles :D and tired from a great day riding at the Canon Lake. After a miserable run at the WBL - Ramsey on the "Wednesday" (not last, the one before) on SW/S, I was way ready to try some new location. As you may already know, the island messes up the SW winds at White Bea...

Baxter and I are heading out in a few minutes to Waconia. N/NW Wind Speed: NW 22 G 29 MPH Today: Sunny, with a high near 56. Breezy, with a northwest wind between 23 and 26 mph, with gusts as high as 34 mph. Can't wait, 5.3, 4.7 or 4.0 (let's not talk about 3.5 because that becomes pure survival :mr...

Can't leave you alone, Jim. So here I go. Just came home before the rain poured down. Baxter and I had a great time after 5 PM session. The 5.3 m2 sail with an 82 liter board provided a pretty decent combination. Did not feel cold at all. Boy, the lake is way shallow. Since I started riding in 2005 ...

it didn't drop at all, David. Scott Hafner, Steve Erikson, Rick and myself started riding just around 3 PM, and had a good session till 5:30 PM. There were a lot of holes. Steve was on 5.9, Scott was on 5.3, Rick was on 5.7, and I was on a 6.7 Neilpryde Saber with a 115 lbs MS-Syncro. It was rocking...

Could be the first day of the season? anyone else riding N (28 mph, 38 mph gusts, it says on NOAA). what's it like?

Excellent, Bryce. Great to hear your stories. Take care and play safe!

not liking this at all. yikes!

excellent news, now wait for the wind...

I have one, going into fourth season. very comfortable and highly recommend it. found bare too stiff and hard to get in and get out. When it gets too cold, I wear a few thicker rash guard looking in-liners.
