LAKAWA

Its inventor, Stephan Wrage, a 34-year-old German engineer, claims the kite will significantly reduce carbon emissions, cutting diesel consumption by up to 20 per cent and saving £800 a day in fuel costs. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/graphics/2008/01/20/eakite120big.jpg For full article: http://...

"Longer strings, or more-flexible strings, tended to knot more often." Really?!?! When I read this article I first thought of my stupid ear buds always being knotted up and then I thought of the times I've spent on the lake making sure there were no tangles in my lines. Not ever as bad but...

I'll be there on Saturday. Predicted slight chance of falling on Sunday as well.

The next kiting challenge will be who can fly in the highest wind conditions.

Like a moth to a light. Powerlines... Big powerlines...

Not sure if anyone out there is a big geek but when I saw this challenge question on the web I immediately thought of this forum. I had no idea. The answer just came out yesterday. Question: You are in the middle of a quiet lake, 250 feet from the shore, when your boat engine stops working. There is...

<Start>KSwiss Advertisement OK. This is a REALLY tacky game but thought we could all play it during the break between seasons. NO Padre comments accepted... http://nautical.kswiss.co.uk/game/ Wish they didn't call the shoes I like "Women's". I'd have 3 pair tomorrow. :? <END> KSwiss Advert...

:shock: Both eyes done two years ago. :shock: I was blind without my glasses or contacts. I am in every sport imaginable and hated having to deal with them. I couldn't see the big 'E' at the office. [Don't know why the don't change the letter. I could always tell them what it was without being able ...

And that's only for 50% ownership! If it was full ownership I'd think about it a little more...

Nothing like riding in pure slush. Still learning so it was a little gusty for me.

Avery those were some sick kite loops!

I'm hoping to be at ramsey at about noon.

I'm planning on heading out today. Where is the best launching area today? I don't have the best car for winter driving and might have to hook the kite up to pull it out. Kinda like this video minus the trees ;) I thought this was hilarious! http://mdh01.fatcow.com/shared/kite/kite101.wmv I had a mo...

Jim N. (stranded in Duluth) Saw 64mph gusts on the weather forecast last night up in Duluth! I'm new to kiting and have been adjusting my board in a few minor ways. I don't know how wide the pros go. Don't think anyone has posted roughly what their settings are at. If someone knows please post. I j...

It was great meeting everyone. As a newbie to the sport it was fun to listen to people who have been doing this for years. Didn't do the race this year but plan on next year. I hope someone got some pictures because as I was over in the tykes area working on the basics I looked back and it was amazi...

I thought they saved the cheerleader already. Didn't that save the world? What's next? Kill Sylar and get 20% off your next purchase at Macy's?

Big fan myself. Nice to know there are others like me out there. {I'm referring to people with superpowers. Not fans}

Thanks for the tips. Didn't even think of Play It Again. I'll run over there tomorrow.

Another cool website similar to craigslist is http://www.twincitiesfreemarket.org/ Was able to pick up an old pair of skis that will serve their purpose.

Trust me. I can't express how much I would love to have her out with me but she doesn't have any interest. I'm going to buy a kite this week and am also hoping to find a small (4m or smaller) kite for her and other friends to try. Maybe once I get a little better and get to know the community I'll h...

Just took snowkiting 101 this weekend and can't stop coming to this website to check out the wind forecasts. (Might have to worry about my company blocking this website!) Is there a simple chart that says: 1 day out it is 90% accurate, 2 days out 75% accurate etc? I did a search on Lakawa but couldn...
