HA! That sounds like Mexico at times! The first time we went to Isla Blanca 2 year ago, I thought were going to get lost for sure just trying to get there. We finally find it, and drive out there, to find NOBODY! And it was blowing 15-20 mph! We rode there the whole time and I think only 2 other peo...

Thanks Matt!

Hola! I am headed to Cancun to do a presentation next week, so I am hoping to get in a bit of kiteboarding while I am there. It is a short trip (wed-sun), but I should have most of the afternoon open for 3 days. Any recommendations? I think the airlines are still hosing people $150 EACH way for an o...

That is some big air! Nice

Great topic! I could literally go on about this for hours or even days. :shock: My advice is about the most “opposite” of anything you will read. The key is to listen to YOUR body. If you are doing something and you can show that you are better, go for it. Here are my thoughts on the min to do ---St...

I second the predictions here. Mille anyone Sat or Sun perhaps?

Mike N

Oh bugger, I am on call Sat. I am off on Sunday though, so hoping for wind then! The car is fixed and ready to go...

Mike N

Boooo, car is in the shop today now. Dang it. I will hopefully make the Gathering next Sun

Looks like there may be some good wind on this coming Monday, and I may be able to sneak away for an ETA around 2pm or so.

Thoughts?

Looking forward to it and I am off this Sat--whoo ha! Now we just need wind as I am itching to get out for the first time this year. ugh. I wonder if I even remember how to kite :roll: Lame excuses I have about trying to graduate and working 3 jobs....blah blah blah. Bring on the wind!!! I miss the ...

Welcome back man! I have to thank you for getting me into kiting, er the first time was more like kite dragging at the field by Rob's. Rob was so happy to send the kite back up in the air after I kept crashing it. He was muttering something about a broken rib or some other BS excuse....hahah. :shock...

Jodie and I were not able to make it, but sending both of you warm wishes and many prayers.

As stated above, everyone here supports both of you all the time!

Mike N

Bugger, as I won't be able to make it today. Looks like a beautiful day though and have fun!!

Mike N

I second that. Sounds like the Father is not an option. What is the next best on that direction on Milly?

Anyone else going up? I may be able to, but won't know for sure until tomorrow. Looks like a nice day!

Awesome vid and too bad I missed out on Reddy that day. Was attempting the South wind on da Bear and not too bad.

The hand drag spin at 1:54 is wicked cool! AWESOME!

Any wind this Friday perhaps???

Rock on

Looks like some crazy SSE wind today and warm! Whooo ha!

I am planning to hit up White Bear Lake today around 11am/noon.

Who else is in?

Mike N

WOW! Sounds like a great day! Whoo ha! I went to the Wac and it was crazy windy (and gusty) there too. I saw on the news that there were sustained gusts of 50-56mph all across the Twin Cites that day. After about 1.5 hours of compressing my butt cheeks together hard enough to crack walnuts, I finall...

Heading out to the Wac now. ETA about 12:45 pm
Whoo ha
Mike N

I am off work tomorrow---whoo ha!

Change of plans as I have other papers due, so I am going to hit up the Wac, ETA about 11:30/noon

Hope to see some people there and have fun everyone!

Yes, Randy L can attest that I was crapping my pants on the launch last year at Father. It was so windy I had to have someone hold me down until I could get my feet in the board since I was just getting ripped right away. I was afraid of Charlie Browning it in that big kite eating tree there! :shock...
