Re: Free skate iceboard dawn patrol on Waconia now.
Hey Chum, do you think some ice skates would work? Been on Lake Independence out west and found a few smooth patches but the bumpy stuff makes me check my fillings after each run

Re: Anyone making homemade land / ice board?
Jerry S and I build something out of a Loaded Vanguard skateboard not too long ago... wait, it was 13 years ago! I can still smell the hot smell of sparks coming off the grinder wheel. Jerry S is a genius when it comes to figuring shit out. He's also willing to try to do things with just materials o...

Re: ICE Reports wanted

Re: SWEDE LAKE ICE REPORT!
A little more Swede info from a facebook post. Was fun out there today, I was a little underpowered most of the time and had to sine my 4M Flexifoil Blade like crazy to make anything happen

Re: New Windsurfers have no nose scoop because?...
I started sailing about 15 years ago (taken the last 10 or so off) and I recalled the short/wide boards starting then??? I currently have Starboard Fish, Excocet Cross and Starbaord Go 150 - these are all right around 8 ft. I love sailing them. Folks said back then that I was SO LUCKY not to have sa...

Professor, I miss you guys too! After getting injured about 10 years ago in the George I got into some deep problems with chemical abuse/misuse and retreated from sport and life in general mentally, physically and spiritually. With help I have discovered a way back from the abyss, perhaps a temporar...

Re: Board Repair - Questions and Answers
Thanks Mike! I'm gonna try some thing called puka patches and some filler to see if I can get another few sessions this year then maybe take it to someone to fix it right. It's a great board to fish from, paddle and you can also hook a windsurf sail on it.

I posted this over on End of Session too. Not sure where everyone is hanging out now. Thanks for any advice! ==== I was paddling last weekend and ran into a snow fence stake someone had left planted near shore. That was a god dang suprise.

Steve, I was looking at these forms today, something I don't do often any more, and read your post and was compelled to respond. I will miss Nancy too.

Pete, I forgot to mention that I really liked the picture of Chris L gliding down the swell, looking to port and waiting for the next big ride. You really have a knack for shooting. I remember some of these shots that you took in 2002 at Kite Island (do they still call it that?) on Minnetonka on a c...
