Down winder yesterday in the Gulf
The downy in the Gulf of Mexico yesterday was great but wind was a little light. We left the beach house and went to the end of the road. Dorian picked us up. Started with Roger, Travis, Mike Ly, Me, Ben and Tom. Roger got downed by the lower winds about 1/2 way. Ben made it about 3/4 the way then r...

One last snow session?
Already put the skis away but conditions and timing too good to pass up. Ozone Summit 12M sets up in 60 seconds, going to hit some city land for urban kiting. 11:30am ish if you can join, looks to be a quick opportunity. GPS 45.100829, -93.435682

Re: Close-out gear
Ahh, big boards save sessions. Highly valued for light wind days, extending your ride opportunities. Also, great for the newbs. I see a few options with Lightwave and Ocean Rodeo in there close out lists. I'll mill around and report back.

Close-out gear
I'm looking through my vendors and mining through the stuff currently in stock. I see a lot of really good deals on wetsuits, booties, kites boards, etc. The lists are plenty and inventory is in flux as the seasons switch from snow to the liquid. Here's an example, hit me up with questions, I'll cov...

Re: shark bites kiter in florida
Fab, I'll be down in SPI Gulf end of April. I just had a conversation last night with concerns of the water temps being too cool, whereas the colder Gulf water temps can play adversely with the wind. Your post brings hope that the temps are going in the right direction. Scotty, for some reason (prob...

Re: shark bites kiter in florida
Well stated Jim. I'm kinda thinking anything down in that area has a little more risk than the local muskies. I heard the report and recalled this story: http://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/kiteboarder-killed-by-sharks/ Makes me jittery to tackle the Gulf next month knowing there are men in black suits ...

Re: 10th Annual Mille Lacs Crossing
CBS Evening News tonight 5:30pm CST has another snowkite piece, unless Russia or the like bumps us. I've been getting fact checked throughout day by them and told it's slated for later in the show like ~5:50pm.

The windchill shouldn't b...

And to expand on Jason's comment: Getting images is a selfless act! It takes time from your ride and time to share, both critical times. I'm usually s...
