Bryce, are you planning on parking out on the ice? I am not caught up on the ice thickness, and it would be nice to not have to schlep gear out there from the car.

Hey guys, just wondering where/when the tents will begin to set up for the crossing. I have never camped for the event, and wondering how the whole thing has worked in the past.

Hey guys, my wife uses our slingshot b3 on the snow, and I am looking for a way to get her hooked into the bar, while at the same time allowing her to completly depower if she needs to in a emergency. Any ideas or products out there?

Hey guys, can white bear be sailed safely on a south wind? I am not an expert, but have knowledge enough to be safe. Also, which location would be best?

Hey guys, Just wondering where anyone will be kiting on Mille on Friday, Sat or Sun? Best location with the winds forecasted for a beginner?

Thanks for the advice Bryce! I looked at the DNR's website, and I could not find any parking, do you or anyone else know how the parking works at these state forests? Second, with the dispursed camping, could a guy just bring his tent right down to the water, near the boat launch there?

Hey guys, I am going to be heading up to mille on June 18th for the entire weekend, and hoping to stay in my tent. I was going to make some reservations at Father Hennipin or the other state park on the lake, but they are booked up. You guys have any idea of a cool spot to stay on the lake? Matt

Man, you guys are great. Thanks for all the great tips, I will let you know how it works out for me!

Whats up forum? I was attempting my first launch yesterday, and ran into a big problem. Before I tried to launch, I walked out my lines, hooked them up, grabbed the kite, and placed it in the water no problem. I then pushed the kite away, with the leading edge in the water, and the leading edge poin...

Hey guys, when landing my kite, in the shallows after a session, am I going to want to bring the kite to the edge of the window and then just pull on one of my outside lines? I am having a tough time getting the landing part right in my head, to be able to do it safely, and get to the kite without i...

what about line length? If the lines are longer or shorter than suggested, will I notice a change? Should I be concerned if they are different lengths?

Hey Guys, I have a 09' 7.5m slingshot rev, and a 07' 13m waroo. I prefer the slingshot bar to the best bar, and am wondering if I would have any problems flying my waroo with the slingshot bar?

Hey guys, I am a kiter/windsurfer living in Eau Claire, WI, and I am looking for some other kiters who would like to share the stoke together on Lake Wissota! Basically looking for some other riders to meet up with this summer on the lake. Just let me know who is out there! My number is listed at th...

Hello friends of LAKAWA! I recently took lessons with Mike K. and have now transitioned from windsurfing to the KITE! I was out the other day trying to jump, and am finding myself unsure of my technique. I know that I need to edge going into the jump, and then turn the kite from a 2 or 3 o'clock in ...

I was just wondering if anyone has heard when the Lakawa Lessons will begin? I have already signed up to be notified, but am just trying to get a feel as to when I can expect them to become available?

Matt

Cannot thank you guys enough!!!! See you out there!!!

It may sound cliche, but the jumping really looks awesome. I like the idea of going up strong and landing softly. I dont want to sacrifice kite quality for cost, second, how many kites should I expect to be purchasing? Once again, thanks for your help on this guys!

I am about 190 pounds, 5'10", 23 years old. I am wanting to kite in both the winter and summer, with the focus on the summer. I would hope to someday have an aggressive attack on kiting. Now what do you think for gear?

Hello friends of Lakawa, I am a windsurfer who is trying to make the transition to kiteboarding. With all of the options for kites, lines, and boards, I am a little confused as to what a good starter quiver of kites would look like. Could anyone help me out with some suggestions as to what I should ...
