My favorite Dry-suit (the Bare-Polar drysuit) stopped being made, several years ago. I've blown out three of them over twenty years. A fourth and a fifth Bare polar were 2nd hand and turned out not safe. This dry-suit allowed me to Windsurf in Minnesota every month of the year, (except February). We...

La Crosse, Wisconsin is Truely God's country. Not jusr because of Old Style Beer, (as they used to say in the commercials),,which is part of the historical significance and charisma that this geographic location provides. But..... just off of I-90 is French Island, and it's a peninsula that juts up ...

Quetzalcoatl out.

For some unexplained reason, almost everytime that I start looking for wind on different lakes in Minnesota, Iowa, finanlly I look at Mankato area lakes, (And it's BETTER there!). Quite often Clear Lake, IA appears to be the most promising lake for wind....and then look at Mankato at it's the same o...

Actually,.....it looks like the BEST wind will be in the Mankato area! NW wind 15-25 mph with a base wind of 19 mph. This means I can use my
Tabou Rocket 115 liter board,,,"Finnally!"
