LAKAWA

Ok. this is getting a little embarrasing. But ya, I left my bar and lines behind again. This time at Kite island. So if you run across a naish bar with airush loop let me know. Or if you have a bar and lines for sale I'll settle for that. See you all at the crossing.

Build um and they will come. Great turnout for a fun weekend of kiting. Thanks Nathan, Matt, Hunter, Denis and plow truck guy and anyone else who helped put the Kitefreeze Unplugged unofficial event together. I didn't dare try the rails and stuff, but managed to line up on the jumps a few times. It'...

Jon Stroh just called me from Mille lacs and asked that I post access info for anyone interested in going up this weekend. He says conditions are great. They're kiting on the south end. Turn toward Izatys, maybe #27? Go about a mile to 100 street/rd/ave? (cove bay) Go north and you'll find a plowed ...

We need Brian the isobar man to weigh in. Only iwindsurf shows wind at Mill Lacs that I can see. I want to believe it, but............

thanks Eric, looking forward to your report.

Jon, let's wait and see what Eric says and then check wind. Call me tonight if you want or email at jeff.gorton at gmail.

Anybody know if there's any snow left up at Milly after todays thaw. I'd go up to find snow, I'm sure it's gonna be pretty hard to hold an edge on a snowboard now,
Jon, If you can get near Delano you could ride up with me.

Oh ya...I forgot to thank Brian too.

I second that..thanks Jon. flew my new 20 for he first time and it was great cruising in such light wind. had some relaunch troubles....thanks Jerry and Jon for your help getting me going again. ended the day with about a three mile reach, a little too far downwind. took forever to get back because ...

Jon, I lost your phone number. Call me if you're going to Waconia this morning.

Sounds great. Thanks for posting about the event. I'll be there, but I'm with Steve....might skip the obstacle park and just cruise.

Have to work tomorrow but could maybe sneak in a late session. Should I plan on getting soaked (I spend too much time on my rear). The lakes out near me in Delano are heavy snow covering a layer of slush. How about city lakes?

I'll probably try Waconia in the morning if anybody on the west side wants to get out.

Jon, Thanks for the ice report. Is the ice smooth enough for iceskates or freeskates, or is there snow on it? I'll probably head out to Washington today, I think there's a nice layer of snow, but if it gets too windy for my kites, a small sail and freeskate on Wac would be sweet. Maybe I'll see you ...

Was the snow on Washington as nice as last Sunday? I couldn't get away but plan to get out tomorrow.

Hi Alex, It's great to hear from you. We got up to North Long a few weeks ago for some perfect black ice, don't know why that lake freezes so early but it's a great season opener. Jerry and I got out for a surprise low wind session yesterday on Washington...perfect untracked powder, so it won't be l...

Jerry, Have you scouted the ice, or do I have to tie a rope around my waist again? Do you think there's enough snow to edge without a switchblade, or is it time to switch to the tall blades? thanks for the report, now we just need a little wind.

Hey Jerry, you found any ice yet?

last weekend was awesome, black ice and wind. You guys were cruisin on those switchblade rigs. Are there any places to kite on snow?

Mike, I can't believe you were kiting in that wind, we didn't see any kiters at Waconia. What size kite did you use? Is the self launch process you're describing the same as normal, but rather than just letting the kite drift you real it out on the fifth line? I wasn't sure from your description whe...

thanks Jon, I really appreciate it. and thanks for helping me with my lines today. I'll give Terry a call tomorrow. See you next windy day.
