Hey there guys and gals. I've been looking for cheap flights to go kiting somewhere warm and found that St. Thomas in the US VI isn't priced too badly. Has anyone gone kiting here? If so where would be the best place to get a hotel to have access to daily rides? I'm thinking of kiting right off a re...

I agree with Mark, it was truly a killer session yesterday. Water temperature was chilly but I was perfectly fine in a wet suit with booties on....no gloves needed. Jim was going huge yesterday, claims he got a 40 footer in earlier around 4pm, I believe it. Let's all hope for more 98F, dry heat, ext...

Did anyone ride Lake Waconia yesterday? If so what is the water temperature sitting at?

I am planning on going for a swim tomorrow. Wind is looking perfect for my first water session of the year. The only question is: will it be warm enough for a wetsuit tomorrow? Obviously use your head to avoid hypothermia and know the conditions, but a dry suit will most likely be the safest approac...

Has anyone ever tried the Carver Park Reserve by Victoria?
I kited Stieger Lake 2 weekends ago and found the lake to be a bit small, however there are some clear hilly areas further in the park that could do well for riding terrain . It's not huge but it is close.

I am taking off on Friday and will be out of town until the beginning of July. Let me know if you need it soon. I don't know if I will be kiting the next two days but I will be in Waconia for the next two nights. Shoot me you number if you want to meet up and get it back.

Someone left their pump on the beach at Waconia this evening.

Description:
-Slingshot Tall
-Yellow, black and white
-Air pressure gauge on hose

I live in Waconia, reply to this post if it's yours, I'll get it back to you.

Paul,

I believe one of those pumps is mine. Mine is a tall slingshot pump. Grey and white with a black handle.

Should have a pressure gauge on it.

Call me and I will come pick it up from you,

Thanks!

Just about to leave work in 30 minutes to check out Wacconia. Is anyone else heading out? Looks like there may be a break in the storms with good wind until 7pm.

Hey guys,
Quick update. Stitches came out Monday, scars look decent and were smaller than I had anticipated. Arm is back to 100% and the rest of my body is ready for action! Recovery went quickly. Learned a great lesson here and have a visual reminder for it.

Good Question Dave, We were having trouble getting the kite to launch properly up the side of the window(The way most people bring it up to noon before they strap in). However once the kite started to catch wind (going about half way up the window) it immediately folded in on itself, possibly from a...

Hello fellow surfers and kiters. I am doing well and onto a speedy recover. My right forearm looks like Popeyes ha ha....some large bruising and swelling but better than a break! As for the stiches somehow I caught my chin on the pole without busting any bones or teeth out. I have to be thankfull fo...

Lake Swede was a good session today. Walked in from the north DNR landing. About 8-10 kitters out there today. Plenty of Ice. About 7-8 inches of fluffy snow, no slush. Needs a good base yet, it was pretty easy to push away all the snow and loose an edge on the ice. Still easy to cut upwind though. ...

Where's the field at? Is it open for public kiting?

Hello everyone, its getting cold but there looks like we might still be getting some good wind coming in this Wednesday. Would anyone be up for ditching out of work early and kiting around 2 or 3pm???

Hello all you die-hard riders. Saturday is looking great for wind! I was wondering if anyone will be making the trip up to Mille Lacs to ride this weekend, I will be coming from St. Louis Park and have enough room to fit 1-2 more people if anyone wants to tag along. I was also wondering if anyone wo...
