first saw kiteboarder on capri sun last summer, now on beer. kiteboarding inspired, had to pick some up. Tasty http://www.2beerguys.com/blog/2009/02/24/redhook-does-the-trick-with-slim-chance/ by the way, a move I am sad to say I am realizing that I am to old to contemplate :( I like the description...

Randy since you removed the link I can no longer watch the video on my blackberry. please include the link so I can continue to watch Norman's baleout several times throughout the day to keep me smiling

Dean I spoke with your primary MD today and he said you are too old for this type of activity. j/k he said your were his healtiest 50 year old patient. :lol: Try doing a back roll WITHOUT sending the kite. Park your kite at 60 degrees or so, find a ramp, load and pop of the wake, twist and follow yo...

agree with Dave Z! yesterday bellaire was flat but ramsey had a few white caps and just enough potential that I rigged and ended up waisting 2 hours riding a gust here and there. Not worth the domestic credits I burned. Water is warming up nicely Monday at wildwood the water was warmer then the air!

or the three stooges go kiteboarding.

In effort to keep more of presence around the house, I opted for a backyard landboard session rather than going to Forest Lake for the N winds.

The good news: I was able to sneak in a short overpowered session on the 13 waroo pro on the way home from work. The bad news: While getting out of my dry suit and chatting with Terry at my van, a big gust came through and broke off a 14 foot limb from a tree which fell and landed right on top of my...

Leah I no longer have relations/affiliations/connections/favorism or what ever you want to call it with Best or any other kite company or keep up with their gear. Truth be told, I'm still riding vintage gear (mostly 2007) and can't justify purchasing any new kites/gear for lack of significant improv...

How she looking today? How bout mahtomedi? Dave? Randy?

hmmmm..... tasty. I think I can sneak in a quick session but I am walking a thin line. ETA 2-230

big kite, big board. if winds stay above 12 I'm still in. Mike?

hoping for a 130 ETA.

After getting skunked with a week in south florida, this was just what the doctor ordered. Thanks for the suggestion and sharing the session Mike! Good to ride liquid again. We were contemplating rigging 7 meters when first arrived but ended up riding 10 (Mike) and 11 yarga (me-more like a 9m). It w...

Mike, I think I can pull it off. I guess I'll load up the water gear. email me or call me in the morning

I'll be on Marco Island from March 6th to 13 for a conference. Would love to hook up with MN folks. 651-485-4571

wow! nice find. I'll never be able to ride like that but maybe shoot some better vids once the high def comes. THanks for posting Mark.

seeing as 2009 didn't happen, here's some of 2008 to remimisce http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j308/drknap/snowkite%20rally%202008/_MG_4655a.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j308/drknap/snowkite%20rally%202008/_MG_4613a.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j308/drknap/snowkite%20rally%202008...
