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

hey chummers, I don't want to discourage you but I live out west and lakes I'm driving by are looking poor and brutal for kiting on. My last trip out was Buffalo and it was actually pretty good but it was before the rain came. If I can I'll drive by swede I'll try to give a for realzy update.

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 :)

I dearly love windsurfing too but I don't think it will make a come back any time soon.

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!

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.
