Hey Jerry! My travel range has been greatly curtailed - too much going on. All the ponds/ small lakes around here look good too but are still thin. Use caution!

Is ice nice? Anyone check?

Amazing. I think my kids; 5 and 3 and their cousins will be all over this! Fun!

Admiral Spotke!!! Where ya been the last decade? The Admiral & I actually went to high school together - seems like yeasterday hmm, maybe not. Hope to see you at Waconia!

Sweet pic Pete!

Always a great time! I have been to every Kite Crossing so far and you definitely have to be prepared for anything! Mother Nature can definitely trick you but that's half the fun. Be sure to volunteer to help the organizers. It takes a lot of work to pull this event off.

See you there!

Yo Brian, going today? A few of us are going to rig at MYC Island for the late afternoon sesh. Snow is the best on the Eastern shore so the NW wind will be sweet!

Yo Mr. Smith, how was it? Wish I could have made it today but soon. Any others out there? Did you drive to the YC Island? Surface looks pretty "drifted" but if the ice in between has texture it should be good? Did you guys know that Alex Peterson has moved back to the West Side? He's been ...

From Tom Meyer: Main Lake has perfect ice, but not safe, cracks with open holes in them to eat your runners. Cracks running north/south with open holes in the middle. even bad in front of myc club north along shoreline with a crack running NE with open holes out from flag pole. ok from harry's south...

I posted this for www.iceboating.net but relevant here too: Be careful out there! Much of the fine, new ice did freeze to a maximum of 4” and apparently less in some spots. Lots of iceboats are set up around the main lake so please take note and tell your friends. High winds and warm temps have open...

Yes! This West side boy reports perfect conditions on Tonka! It is super rare we get sweet ice like this. If you have blade toy(s) get them going now! There is one hazard I know of halfway between Cottagewood point and the north tip of Big Island. Ducks fought hard to keep this hole open until the p...

Well done Professor!

Hi Allan, thanks for posting and sorry if I came across as too harsh. Time to drop 'SH'. I am mainly concerned about keeping our favorite launch site safe. So to talk about situations that happen is very constructive. Sail safe everyone!

Wow Pete, talk about Gorge like. Is that from the Lake City point? That is NW? Sweet! I will try!

Yes MK, I did not intend this but after reading/ editing I too caught the correlation. I chose not to change it... Bottom line: You never really know what your fellow wind enthusiast may be capable of. That is why you have to ALWAYS watch like a hawk. Personally I am always on FULL alert whenever I ...

The multiple mistakes of Mr. Silver Helmet - poor form at Waconia: 10/7/11 It pains me to have to write this but what occurred was truly outrageous and should be discussed IMO. It was a great day at Waconia, quite puffy and shifty – typical for a southerly – and strong, some liquid smoke in the air ...

Yes, we had seven fun races! Great wind and competition. Thanks Michael and team for making it happen! Can you post results? Steve, are you done with your smallest kids rig? Brianna is four now so I think she is ready. Also could use one or two small kids wetsuits. I lost your # so please give me a ...

A black helmet and wet suit hood. I would have contacted Jeff Gordon directly but he was not there yesterday

A great day at the WAC and surprise, I was the last one to leave!

Hey Peter, you may not know it but my wife, Holly is co-founder of Wai Nani Surf and Paddle!

No doubt the SUP craze is for real, it's a ton of fun and a perfect complement to Wind-Sport.

So, this is my shout out to The Tribe! http://www.wainanisup.com/

Check em out, they do a great job!

Yahoo :!: Nothing like a good blow for Mille Challenge! Always a great time and definitely one of my favorite events of the year. What surprises/ tricks will the Canadians bring south this year? Thanks to everyone who helps make it happen. See you there and be sure to ask Michael and crew what you c...
