Yeah. Talked to Jim, swap is on at Sociable Cider Werks.
See you peeps there, bring your lightwind boards, as I am looking to hook up with one. GeorgeL.

Pretty sick session on WBL this afternoon. Good, strong, fairly consistent/smooth winds for MN standards. Excellent vibe. The drifted in snow road and playground of snowmen and a snowcave to jump off made me smile. I can't wipe it off my face. Some good company too. Enjoyed riding with you fellas.

Checked out Glacial Lakes State Park Saturday morning. Wind was blowing NW at 15-20. The area still needs about 6-8 more inches of snow to be ready to go. It is a mix of soft prairie grass, and these gnarly scrub offshoots that would be hard to ride through. The rideable terrain once filled in would...

" There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. Get outside." quoted by Mom. I firmly believe that statement. I've been out numerous times this season. most of them in subzero weather. Your equipment is remarkably resistant as long as you don't tomahawk your kite into the snowp...

I use graphite powder. It doesn't gum up with sand in summer or freeze in the winter. You do have to apply it more often than regular lubricant, but a small tube goes a long way. I got mine at Hub Hobby, in the pine car derby area. Don't use WD40 or Liquid Wrench. It ate the rubber seals inside my o...

Thanks. Good info here. I will be checking out Glacial Lakes area soon and will report my findings. Let's keep this thread rolling and find more winter terrain spots for us eager powder hounds . A excellent beginning to the season. Next couple days are lining up.

Anyone know of any good open terrain with rolling hills or any kite friendly geological features to play on within a reasonable drive from the metro? Would love to take advantage of Sunday's wind with a option other than flat ice. Thanks peeps. George L.

You might want to check out this spot by lacrosse, WI. I used to canoe here and there's a park. It's on the south side of Lake Onalaska on French Island. Probably a 1/2 hr drive from Winona. Nice point can be rode most directions. Might be weedy. near 3600 Lakeshore Dr La Crosse, WI 54603 http://map...

Well, 5 for 6 is pretty sweet. Had a impromptu session after eating lunch in Glen Arbor on monday in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lake Shore. The wind gods blessed us out of the blue and we rode with the dunes and North and South Manitou Islands as a backdrop. We had a marathon session yesterday at ...

Yeah we rode yesterday. In Glen Arbor Bay after getting skunked at Platte River. Ate lunch was going to call it a day when jason noticed white caps in the bay. Went down to the beach and it was blowing 15-20. Rigged 12s and a 16 and rode for 2 1/2 hours. Nice surprise eh! We are now chilling at Hend...

Going to Hendryx Park off Lee Point south east of Leland tomorrow. Winds supposd to be SSE clocking to south. Do you recommend Point Betsie on a SE Bill?

Going to give Platte Bay a try tomorrow its a NE. Got the hat trick today but it was really light. We rode big kites and big boards. Tomorrow looks good early am. ETA 730-8am. Come down if you can. George.

Day two. Little Point Sable. 20mph nice little rollers. Beach for miles. Good wind next three days. Phat chubbies all around

Alone on a beach. Marquette Park. Gary, IN. Day one, drove all night and made beach at 10am. Winds on, waves 5-6 foot swells. Got a little publicity for the local scene.

Going to hit up the wack after work eta 430-500. Anyone else?

I was at Reddy on Thursday and went to Malmo on Friday just for the lush grass and space to maneuver. Had the best couple days of progression on my board skills. Actually got to do some deep arcing carves for the first time. Mmmm tasty. Got to see a lot of people haven't seen in a while. Good fun. Y...

Returned to owner
