I had a great open water session on Lake Harriet yesterday on an 8.7 sail and my equipe. Just over 20 miles on the GPS. Harriet is about 2/3 open and had about a half dozen boats on it with fishermen. I was planning only about 1/3 of the time but had a blast on the longboard. A first for me in Janua...

Jeff, are you requiring sail numbers this year? If yes, what are the size and style requirements?

Thewindmap.com is a wesite that works with google maps and allows anyone to list a windsurfing or kiting site anywhere in the world. You can also list info on the site like best wind direction, any saftey concerns, etc. The interesting thing is that anyone else can go in and change info you listed. ...

The screening lasts only a couple minutes although the wait can be as long as an hour. Several years ag, I went to the...

Try Jeff Adamski at jadamski@usa.net. I heard he does a great job!

I spent a week the past two spring breaks in Pompano Beach (a short ways from Bocan Raton). I rented fron Sailboards MIAMI (on Biscanne sp? Bay) once, and from Delray beach sports (on the open ocean) once. Delray beach had better equipment available and great sailing in April. They wouldn't rent to ...

Hi Denis Thought you'd appreciate this. I had a female high school student come running in my room this morning and asked if I was at Lake Calhoun yesterday (Sunday). I said no I had a honey list to do at home. Well she said, there was a guy out there on on kite with a "death wish". She sa...

Great job on the video Tighe. You rock!

Peter, I was the guy on the B3 on Sunday. Actually started out on a B4 but switched to a B3 as the wind pick up. (Over 20 mph on my meter). After being on the lake for over two hours alone, it was comforting to see you and Jeff show up. I don't have alot of experience (as you could probably tell) an...

Sometime within the past week my newly acquired “snowfer” was stolen from my residence in Bloomington. For those of you unfamiliar with a snowfer, it’s basically used for the winter version of windsurfing. It’s made in Canada and sails on snow or ice with a standard windsurfing rig.

The Nordic skates are availale at http://www.nordicskater.com/

I talked to someone wearing them at Calhoun yesterday. He said they work really well on rough ice and hard snow covered ice as well.

My wife and I recently spent a week in Florida. I took my slingshot B-3 along to fly on the Beach. Glad I did because I had a great time flying it on the beach in 10-20 MPH winds several days. Had a problem hand carrying it on the plane however. As we were leaving Florida, I put it through the xray ...
