LAKAWA

NW is great at the boatlaunch, not quite as good as WNW but still one of the smoothest wind directions you will see on the wack!

wind is directly onshore... expert funhogers only!

It's looking good tomorrow! Anyone going out?

I Tried to ride today at 4 but it was a little much on my 8m... made a few tacks and decided to wait till tomorrow!

it's been blowing NE in Duluth for quite a while now! seems like every day is ridable regaurdless of what the forecast says! we ride every direction in Duluth! you dont need a Dry for duluth a 3-5 mill wetsuit will work just fine! a few days ago I was out with just the dry... no booties, gloves or h...

Rippin is an understatement! wow it was good out there today! lit up on the 8m and surfboard for 4 hours! shared the water with a windsurfer for an hour or two but was the only kiter out there most of the day.

It's looking good today! I'm giving the waves a chance to build then heading out there!

Looking good out there tomorrow!

ETA: When the wind and waves start looking good!

Dave... look for a BIG white van... says horns for peace on it (i think) there will probably be a load of winsurf boards on the back

I would assume you are talking about the mother! We had a good NE yesterday and it is looking like it could blow NE all week and into next weekend! I know a few of the locals are going to try to get out. I am probably going to stay home and study for my finals :( got to be responsible here and there...

looking for some information on the boards???

Give me a call... 95two eight07-3306

We will miss you out there... but I'm sure we will see you around, and you're welcome to my gear as well!

Jim, it's called the Naked Stripper! Brian makes some good boards, and better yet he will make them the exact size, shape and rocker you want!

I second mikes Aquaseal idea... that stuf will fix just about anything

Has anyone tried the 09 Liquid force HIFI? They are calling it a hybrid but I see the 5 lines and think C kite! How does it compare to bridled 4 line hybrids? Depower? Relaunchability? I would assume that it wouldn’t be well suited for a beginner (since it’s geared toward freestyle) but I could be w...

Terry is sending me his copy of the new Naish video, but it is a pretty extreme video and I don’t think it’s going to be good for what I need it for. I have decided to go old school! While I like watching the new crazy stuff it’s not really for me. I need wave riding, board offs, Jesus walks, ect, e...

She is signed up for professional instruction... just waiting for that water to warm up! Hopefully everything will go well, while it is a squat position it is a lot less resistance than getting up on a wake board… I kind of worry about the up and over the toe edge thing that happens to beginners as ...

I would like something on the liquid side… needs to be more than just wake style

Recommendations?

One you would like to sell? Let me know (952) 807 33 zero 6

Thanks

I have someone that wants to start kiteboarding but has had an injury to her TFL (tensor fascia lata) that doesn’t currently allow her to do things like running and squats. I am wondering if anyone out there has some information on how much risk of re-injury she would have while kiteboarding. Also i...

It is very refreshing to read your post Tighe! I couldn’t agree more with everything you said. I think the difficulty here is going to be assembling a board to deal with issues. It is going to be hard to get the right people to sacrifice their time and energy on this with the requirements of no busi...

I'm still cold from yesterday! probably going out tomorrow though... Chip? I know you don't ride in anything less than 30 but maybe you should try out that new hip in lighter wind!

I'm guessing Joe and dave will come out tomorrow. Jeff and Brian are hiding in padre!

I have a partial solution for people who care but can’t make it to the meeting Allow proxy voting It has been said that this can’t be held on this form because it involves people who don’t come on Lakawa. It is only fair to allow everyone who has a vested interest in the access to lakes in Minnesota...
