Re: Saturday looks Windy

Not to be a buzz kill but just to share something I just heard. I heard that the water is so warm on Mille that fish are dying and are all along the shore. This person had reported it was at Izaty's when he was there golfing. Not sure if it is just the spots directly downwind or what. He didn't reme...

Re: Pelican this Weekend

ride on Peter, I'll be up there as well. Probably getting up midafternoon Friday, unless it looks ridable down here friday. I'll be looking on the east side as well as I'll be staying just down the west side from you. I think there is a park on the SE side of the lake. Hopefully Todd or Bryce will c...

Re: Slingshot kite question

Kites have gotten better and better Scott. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with any of the new kites out there. As far as Slingshot goes, not sure if many have low end grunt anymore. Most of the newer kites have become more and more efficient and generate power through speed through the air. ...

Re: The gathering

After hymin and hawin for days, the decision was made to postpone the gathering on Mille to next weekend the 21st and 22nd. The forecasts just looked too light to make anything happen this weekend.

Think positive about next weekend.

Re: 13m Slingshot Fuel 2010 2011 or 2012

I think you may be hard pressed to find anyone in the area who could help you out Avery. There are a few on the 2011 Fuels, but I haven't seen a 2012 in the area.

Might want to shoot our rep an email, Neil Hutchinson, nhukusa@aol.com.

I've heard good things about them.

Re: Baa, Baa, Black Sheep

Eric, oh my gosh, where you been brother? You were such a core stoke generator in the early days of kiteboarding. Hope we get a chance to share some aqua soon.

Hope all is well

Re: Fathers Day Gift

What a great session. Absolutely lit on my 12 and my 132 is gooooood. Great stoke on the water. The rollers and ramps were clean on that end of the lake. Incredible riding conditions....and completely unexpected. Same thing happened Saturday night but from the NW. Two surprise sessions! Great father...

Re: The gathering

anybody have any ideas on how we could rent the Carlsona site? Probably owned by the bank now. It would be great to toss some $ there way, maybe get a portapotty and set up camp. Any way to lobby the town of Malmo to camp in the park? Money talks. If we each chip in $20 it might cover some of the ma...

Re: 17m Turbine Tighe

The new one is out. I think the big difference is the Zepher has more stability in higher winds. It has more struts and I've heard is rideable into the 20s. In light winds, I flew them back to back and they were very similar. I like the slingshot bar better. I'd look online I'm sure there are quite ...

Re: Wow

Flew the kite last weekend. Couldn't tell from new. Great price, incredible turn around time, and beautiful work. What a great resource to have locally.
