I just love to read this enthusiasm. All I can do is just grin for now.

Kevin can't sleep. I bet he's stoked.

Good rides for everyone today.

Lake Washington is now ice free.

Hi Jeff, Stay connected to the board like BMR says. Keeping the board under you're feet prevents twisting injurys(ACL & fractures) which could occur if one or both feet release. I use Switch type step-in bindings which require compatable boots. These I can step in while kite is in zenith. :) On ...

Heading to Waconia to icesail. The Wack last Sun. was the best time so far this season. At least 3 times around Cony Island will be ridden today. Hope to see others there. ETA of noon.

Try you're local welding shop. I don't know about polished. That might take some old fashion elbow grease action.

Is someone thinking about grinding an edge on the angle and applying it to some kind of speed contraption?

Jerry

Sounds like fun What are the directions to Kite ISland? Ice safe enough to drive vehicles out?

:D What a great lake! Eric, Jeff & I met at the BIR landing and drove out to great edging 100% snow. Eric rig the 9.5 Psycho. Jeff & I 7.5 Mossys. Winds picking up & I'm down-sizing to 6.5 -5.5. Jeff flew the 4.9 Blade. Eric still holding the Psycho and doing amazing tricks on snowboard....

Hey, No Fear Matt.

A 1st aid kit is always a good idea to have. CPR & 1st. aid training is just good plain knowledge to have to assist friends, family and human kind.

I bet you still had that grin on you're face, even though bleeding.

Ice could be super smooth. Sharpen the blades and stay clear of layed out kite lines.

Jerry

Everything looks really cool except for the mullet haircut. hehe.

I have repaired my battlescar Flexifoil bridle lines several times. Since I've been an archer for many years, I had found that bowfishing spectra line in 100-200lb. test works well. This can be purchased at a minimal cost at any sport shop that sells archery supplies. Nice to keep in tackle box for ...

I had a fun solo time with my Freeskate. I have an extra one, but couldn't talk Eric in joining me. There was consistent 4" of black ice and I sailed with 4.5m. sail. There is a unique thrill in gliding over the smooth surface with just the sound of wind and a faint ticking of the blades scorin...

Some lakes West in Hutch/Dassel area are looking sweet w/ black ice. Should be fun with blade toys soon.

Hey Wild Bill, Long time, no see. The wisest/safest thing to do with a worn line is to replace it. For an emergency tie, Alex P. recommends using (fisherman's knot) for the strongest knot. Invest in a 500' spool of orange 600lb. Q-Powerline. Prices vary from 100-200 per spool, so shop around. With Q...
