I just used a couple of tie wraps on the centre strut for the video i just posted. The line mount works good too for rider shots...a little over priced - just be sure to put a safety line on it. GoPro has some cool remotes now that would be fun to play with - even stream video to your cell.

Got some gopro video from a camping trip in my back yard

Any ideas on camping for the gathering? We should try to have another bonfire/Tequilla/jam sesh. Bring yer instruments!

Nice overview of what's out there in 2011 - in Spanish. 206 pages!

The ratings are a bit of a joke.

Practice????? WFT - so that was my problem! I guess kiting and drinking beer all summer does not count.

Dominique from Quebec had not been on the board before but she finished 3rd over all. How she could hang on and be competative in 25-28knots with a 7.4 at 100lbs is beyond me. Truly amazing!

The last couple of Mille Lac kitexings the S3 19M was leaving a few of us sipping a beer watching in envy. I'm saving coin for the S3 21M. Might have a demo available at the Xing.

The 19M is pretty amazing though to make a video like this:

Hey Steve - Ulf wants us to come over next year to Sweden and to a "raid" - archepelago hopping. Must be a viking thang. Then we'd head down to Denmark for the 2011 worlds. Just start saving your euros for Denmark. They'll have charter boards again I'm sure. I think Australia would be the ...

Still thinking about the fun we had at this event. 85 sailors, 11 countries on the same board. Good representation from Mowind even though our results sucked. The Altantic is killer for a flatwater sailor like myself. Check out the videos at http://www.kona-windsurfing.com to get a sense of it. Next...

Yo Ray! Just like Mille to take a break and then fire up with force. I would've been wasted on my 11M kite or 11M sail
Had a nice sesh back here yesterday but probably should have not gone out due to being away all weekend...sorry honey .
Enjoy the midwest!

I've always wanted to check out the Candian side of Lake of the Woods up near Sable Islands - looks awesome from google maps.

Gone! Team Canada has marked it in the calendar. I have a new 11M to try out so order up some wind for my lard ass!

Been thinking about MN and now get this in my emails. A fella named Lars is mentioned so I coundn't resist. Sorry for the stereotyping and it's probably been around before... Two Swedes from Minnesota , Sven & Ole, walk into a pet shop near Brainerd. They head to the bird section and Sven says t...

Ok I'll reply to my own post ;-) Bought it, tried it and it's pretty lame - basic arcade type stuff. Looking at the credits for the game you'd think my Slavic bretheren (Ukrainian perhaps?) would be able to come up with a more realistic portrayal of our fine water sports but no. Perhaps more beer is...

Anybody checked this out yet? I think I'll write Santa a letter! http://www.amazon.com/Water-Sports-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B002NIMIXY/ref=cm_lmf_tit_30_rdssss1 "Forget the fitness titles! Grab your Wii Balance Board and head out on the water with Water Sports for Wii. Water Sports will recreate the fe...

Heading down to Marathon for Xmas. Couple of beaches down there - Coco Plum and Sombrero - shallow water, butter smooth.
Key West offers trips to the flats. Most of the beaches are pretty small so drift launching is advised but walking out is no prob.

I'm bringing my Zeph down and hope I get get it tweaked a bit - can't seem to get the same power with it as my old Contra. I think the steering lines need shortening but it's getting too chilly to mess with it up here in great almost white north. Can't wait to wear shorts and flip flops again!

Got a few clips for the Xing - really rough edit and still working on a better result - looks great in HD back home
Used my bands first crack at playing Riders from a summer fest.

Thanks to all for coming down and making the event happen - what a great location!
I'm still smiling from the fun times on and off the water! My lips are dried out from all the wind and tequilla - Thanks Tom!

Hey Mike - you could've come north. Glad you found some snow. We should plan a spring gathering out west sometime. We got 2 ft on the weekend. I did some test holes and went down about 1 1/2 feet with the auger without breaking through...so I had to get out kiting. It's so sweet snow kiting May 1 fr...

I got out yesterday with the 12M Pulse2 - sweet kite! Put the ol' dry suit on just in case.
Feet got totally soaked but it was one last fun ride. Lots of rain today so I guess that's it
for me on the hard stuff.
