Hi there I use Sea Specs for wake boarding, water and snow kiting. Never lost a pair. You can get them on e-bay ( copy version ) with the same UVA and B protection. 3 pairs 29 bucks :shock: They are rock solid. I always use contacts with them. They take the spray, but there is sufficent ventilation ...

Hi Nance and Steve

Thanks for letting me play in your back yard pond. It was a blast. Sometimes it all comes together. Good wind, the right kite and board for the conditions. Couldn't ask for more. Nice with a day in the office.
You guys were looking like pros!

Anyone going to the Wack or Da Bear

Hi again I just walked out in waist deep water. The camera is a tiny Sony Cybershot that I got a waterproof box for. Tighe don't worry. I know I am asking for trouble when I walk out and wave a camera at anyone. Its probably a good idea to wear a helmet when you take shots in the water. way more ris...

Took some pics. Hope you can get to them. The order is last picture first??? What a place to kite and what a great day it was. Fun to meet all of you again. Even my wife Malene who is not a kiter enjoyed the day. She took some of the shots from a distance. http://s87.photobucket.com/albums/k155/Chri...

Hi Tyson

I was impressed with your progress. The first time on water and very close to staying upwind was awesome. Hope you found your board. And rember to zip up your drysuit . I would als get a helmet to protect your .

Hope to see you soon again.

Talking about wet kites, coming back from the crossing where I had let a number of people try various kites, I had a soaking wet 16,12,7,5,3. :shock: I just spread them out on the floor. My other significant is not jumping up and down with joy, but they do dry out in a day.This is now the only reaso...

Hi Professor Thanks for picking up my ice screw. I completely forgot about it until I came home. All the oxygen must have gone to feed the muscles leaving nothing for the brain :oops: What a blast of a week end. Please give me a call on my cell so we can figure out how to get it back. It's always fu...

Hi Coach

I am going to Italy on business starting Friday and will be back on 9/20. You are welcome to borrow my X-bow 16 to try it out.

Give me a call 952-334-2102

Tom, I have had my x-bow 16 for 3 weekends and it is everything it is ment to be. I have been out in conditions I would not have been able to go out in. Gusty westerly winds, launching on the east side of Cedar Lake, WI :shock: I run my back lines on the center knot, but I am 40 lbs lighter than Ste...

Anyone going to Cedar this afternoon. I would like to go , but not alone. Stev Blain is not around this week end.

Last week I flew back from Europe and had been upgaded to first class. I was sitting relaxing in my seat and dosed off....... I was on Cedar Lake on my snowboard with my big red Ozone kite overhead cruising down the lake. Suddenly I heard a loud voice " Water - No Ice ". My worst fear had ...

Now all we need is wind

Does any of you guys know how far North to go for good snow kiting or how far South to go for good water kiting this coming long week end?
I am located in Hudson just east of the Twin Cities.

Hi Dave

I live in Hudson and crosses the bridge every day to go to work. The open water along the dike is not long and wide enought to windsurf yet, but if the weather stays like this, it may be OK for Saturday or Sunday.

Hi guys I am pretty new to serious snow kiting and I use a Venture Zephyr snowboard with my Ozone 12. I am cruising around and have not started to jump yet. I have been out on it just the last 4 weeks. I can easily hold an edge and go in a straight line. The board is very stiff and wide 166 x 28. Yo...

Hi guys Take a look at this interesting design. Even if your Danish or French is not perfect, the pictures tells the story. It should be on the market next spring. It looks like it combines the features of a foil and an inflatable kite. http://www.kitesurferen.dk/view.php?id=778&type=1 Marry Chr...

Here is what comes out of my passion for wind :wink: Wednesday looked like a good afternoon for dropping into the St.Croix river at Hudson to windsurf, so I left work early, got the van, and went to the public beach. Everything was roped off due to the the President's visit. He had just left , but h...

Yes, I have used both my Naish bi-derictional and my Square One kite boards behind a pontoon boat with 40 HP. It works well both for waterstarting and starting of the jetty. Try to dig your heels in and go up on both sides of the boat dragging you. It is good kiting practice. If you can waterstart b...

Hi guys

Thanks for the advice. I'll battle with the gear I have and spend more time on da lake.
