Re: Saylorville Kiting?

Hey Mike, Hopefully I can help out a little. I used to live in DSM and windsurfed there a ton and kite there now when on business. Great lake to ride if the winds are in the right direction and if you know where to go. I was just looking at google maps and the landscape didn't make sense to me. I th...

Re: Grand Marais - Superior

Im guessing you mean Grand Marais, MI...(not Grand Marais, MN). A NW wind would work...straight W might get a little sketchy b/c the shoreline to the West is all high bluffs... NW at Grand Marais, MN probably wouldn't work... :wink: :wink: :D Yes, the Upper Michigan Grand Marais. Have you ridden th...

Grand Marais - Superior

Any feedback for Grand Marais on W or NW winds on Superior? Almost went there yesterday, but got family blocked and it's a 7 hr drive. 25+ winds to 40 and 10-17 ft waves.

Looks like a great place to ride and thinking the jetty would clean up the swells and waves on the inside.

Re: Looking for kites to demo

Hey Jeff, I know we're a ways away in Madison, but I have a lot of demo kites all in one place. Some are 2009 and most 2010 models. We're expecting good winds all this week and you can ride back to back to back til your arms fall off. Cabrinha, Epic, Slingshot and Wainman. Some of them are listed be...

Re: Snowkiting near Wisconsin Dells.

Yo Dave Z. what's up? That thread is actually for Mendota only regarding ice thickness. Mendota always freezes late compared to the other 4-5 main lakes around the Madison area. We have a great coverage for snow in the fields (17 inches a few weeks ago), but it's since melted to a harder crusty laye...

Re: Slingshot 2010 Product first impressions

tighe, nice write up and i agree 100% on the RPM. I was very impressed with the 10m and 8m and how right at home you feel on that kite in high winds. super stable...if you pump it hard...and in my mind one of the better smaller kites on the market. haven't had much time on the 14m or 12m yet, but th...
