Does anyone know if the snow is bonded yet on Swede? Or if there is snow yet?

Theres not alot down this way. I have had some luck at Orchard Lake. The wind can be very gusty but in a pinch it works.

I second that. It was an awesome day. Thank you. Some of you guys going off that ramp are CRAZY. I loved watching you guys fly off of that MOFO. Thanks again

Saturday for sure maybe Sunday

Sounds good Steve. Are you going to be at the Kite Rally at Swede on Saturday?

I seem to be having the problem at lower speeds. I was researching other sites and they talked about tying knots and trying different knot settings. Has anyone around here tried this? Better yet, Christian did you seem to have tip collapsing problems? You have more hours on this kite then me and are...

WildBill and I have been out the last two days and I encountered the same thing on both days. I am flying a 2004 12M Frenzy and with the kite de-powered (bar is pushed away from me) The outside tips of the kite tend to fold in. When I am flying fully powered (bar pulled towards me) the tips will inf...

Thanks for the tip. If I find some place I will let you know.

Nice, but I was looking for the 16 year olds this weekend.

Does anyone know of any hot spots down around the Rochester area?

Swede was in decent shape. Some icy spots, some slushy spots, but plenty of good place to tear it up. Nice turn out today. Can't wait to see Ben's pictures.

Has anybody had a chance to check out the lakes this morning with all the rain we got last night?

Anybody know of any good spots for southsiders?

Has anyone had any luck convincing people to let you ride on there land? Everytime I find a nice open field I get a hold of the people tell them about the waiver form, hell even show them pictures of what kite boarding is and I get the same crap. I don't think so, what if you get hurt!!!! :twisted: ...

nice, If the winds up Saturday I'll be there. I should have some extra time to help with the shelter after I bust myself up a little.

Anybody have any idea on the ice conditions on Swede?

Thanks for all the info. This is exactly what I was looking for. Rookie, if the offer still stands I will take you up on your offer for the free board. I would also be interested in hearing about your other boards for sale. My number is 952-707-1101 or if you want to leave your's I would be happy to...

Last year I took everyone's advise and started kiting with ski's before trying a snowboard for the first time. Now It's time to try a snowboard. My question is how much does the length of the board really matter? I'm 6'2" about 175. I see deals for boards that are in the mid 150's in size. I ha...

I'll take one if you have any left.

Thanks

Has anybody ever tried using really really short skis? If so did you cut an old pair down and move the bindings or do you have to buy kids skis? Somebody out there has to have tried something like this. Just curious if it works.
