I found this neat site that shows where to kite and windsurf world wide. May be worth a peak before you travel.

I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge about the wind conditions for Chesapeake bay a little south of Baltimore. It looks like I will be moving out that way for a job and was wondering if it would be better to try to find an apartment near the bay example or something closer to a park for other...

Another Thought... If you wanted to know how much force it takes to move you through the water you could attach a force gauge on a tow rope and get pulled on your board behind a boat at various speeds. I predict that you will have a higher force required to keep you up at slower speeds due to you si...

Kosk responded as I wrote this up. I would agree with apparent wind and such. My imagined formula is below. Force = (Force due to air resistance) + (Force from airfoil shape) Force due to air resistance = 1/2 * p * Cd * A*v^2 With p = density of air = 1.2 kg/m^3 Cd = Coefficent of drag --> assume fl...

I was looking at the wind forcast for tomorrow and I am seeing 13 afternoon. I have not looked at the lake lately but I assumed it is flooded. I was thinking fields and was wondering if anybody else was interested or had any suggestions for near Waconia.

Just a thought...
With such a wide lens you may want to try rotate the camera 90 then undo that when you post process. This should allow you to grab the kite and the board at once.

Otherwise sweet setup.

The daily is $5 if I remember correctly. The park is consider part of the Carver park system which also includes Baylor Lake Minnewashta Regional Park For those wondering what is considered part of the Waconia Beach park, here is a map (pdf) The police officer said that they have acquired the flower...

Don't worry I should have counter acted your kite purchase by ripping mine.
