Thanks Mike!! It all started that one crazy day on the snow at White Bear, where i thought cruisin toeside was the best way to tack. When do you head to SPI?

Re: UofM Kiteboarders
Whats up all! Unfortunately I live in Milwaukee now but that doesn't mean UofM kiteboarding can't become legit. I will be going to Hatteras Oct 8 to 14ish with some kiters from around the Midwest. I was thinking about driving from Madison, stopping at Wake Nation cable park for a few hours on the wa...

Re: Recommended Kite Destination? - Oct 21-24
If anyone is interested in going to Hatteras Oct 9-16, I am in the middle of figuring out travel logistics. I am headed out with some chicago kiters and we are staying in a house that sleeps 7+ people. If there is interest I would drive from Madison with room for 3 others, otherwise I might fly due ...

Kite Madison
I had a great session out on Lake Monona in Madison on Firday. Olbrich Park is an epic kiting spot! Tons of open space, shallow waters, sandbar for waves, weedbed for no waves, and beaches for babes. Lake Mendota is bigger and great for west winds. I will be in Madison/Milwaukee area for a few weeks...

Re: Wac might be ridable now
Were there kiters on Wac today?.... Graham and I were out there and watching the iphone for wind but it was dead. Therefore we went out to the cable park and got a few sessions in. It is convenient located 10min west of waconia in New Germany. http://www.10kwakes.com/index.php If you haven't checked...

Re: Cable Park in MN!!! Wow!
I have been out there a lot the past few weeks!! It is a great park; awesome rails, double sided kicker, and a perfect place to practice air tricks. The employees are all rad guys! Great place to rip when there is no wind... Oh and there are 2 boat lakes so you can get a wake set or solemn set in. M...

Re: UofM Kiteboarders
Agreed, Lake Wazee probably isn't the best kiting lake, but its great for cliff jumping, swimming, and enjoying the sun. For anyone on campus, I'm going to try and get a kite session in after my final which ends around 1230pm today, let me know if you want to join. This weekend looks light so I'll b...

Re: Waconia, Cinco de Mayo
Rippin at Waconia- SO much fun, at first there was no way I wanted to take out my 11m, gusting to 35mph, but once it came down a bit the conditions were perfect, awesome session, boosting, surfing rollers, getting heavy wind kite skills down, until riding toeside back to the beach, not paying attent...

Mike, LAKAWA stickers would be rad. I'm thinking about setting up a cookout out soon to kickoff the spring season and try to get some UMN kiteboarders together. Would you want to join?

UofM Kiteboarders
I transferred to UofM Twin Cities last year and just recently got into kiteboarding. I have a long wakeboarding history and I am loving the transfer to kite. Is there a kiteboarding club at UofM? If not, I think we should get something going this semester. Here are some ideas; [*]We can all meet up ...
