Re: Nuking conditions on medicine
I hit up Ramsey on White Bear. I only had an hour or two, so rigged my 10m (started out around 11:15.) After rigging and putting on my suite I realized that I forgot my harness....frigggin riggin.... Then realized I had a climbing harness in the truck. There were quite a few offers for harnesses, bu...

Re: Slingshot Rally Quivers
Three kites?? That's tough. In my mind the 10m in the 2014s is the money size. Super quick, insane range, boosts to the moon, super stable, does everything well. The 14m is amazing for light winds. Could you get by with the 12m for light winds, sure I guess with a bigger board...but why? You'll have...

Re: Slingshot Rally Quivers
I like the 2014s the best. They are bigger than the previous years so I'm on the 10 when I would have been on a 12, and I'm liking that. The new 14 is one of the best light wind kites I know of. If you are looking at anything other than 2014 kites, I'd go 14,12,9. The 12 was the money kite in my boo...

Re: Slingshot Rally Quivers
All great options. Need a bit more info, before I can give an accurate answer.
How much do you weigh?
How powered up do you like to ride? ie do you like to rid pretty lit if you can and like big air? Or?
Which year Rallys are you looking at?
Thanks
Tighe

Re: Old timers
Thanks for resurrecting this Mike. The thoughts still hold true, though now I am 50+ and seeing a lot more youth on the water. The first half dozen years of kiting was dominated by windsurfers transitioning to this new sport...most of whom were older. That changed as the sport matured. I think the a...

Re: Please Read - No Tresspassing Waconia
wow, firstly thanks Ken for posting about this issue. I have been riding Waconia for over 20 years and have walked across this guys lawn a half dozen of times and did not see the signs. Thanks for making me aware of his feelings about it. We clearly have outstayed our welcome. It's his land, and we ...

Re: Fall Winds Have Arrived !!
Thanks Kevin. You are the forecast master. You also appear to have a very short memory. This has been one of the windiest Augusts I remember. Normal summers usually leave the 12 and below quite dry. This July and August had so many Great 10 and 12m days. We had like 4 Fridays in a row. A ton of week...

Re: An Honest Review 2014 Slingshot Rally
wow what a great thorough review Jim. Couple things I might add. Did you get a chance to ride the 10m in true 10m conditions? Many of your comments seem more consistent with what I have found when riding the kite slightly underpowered. The 2011 and 2012 Rallys had incredible top end but I think they...

Re: advice on kiting this week + can anyone lend me a board?
Sorry to have missed this thread. Last night was a good post work session at white bear. I have an extra board if the winds come up in the next few days. I just scanned the forecasts and as of now, things don't look great for the weekend. Our forecasts have been all over the board lately though. Fin...

Re: Millacs this Friday?
The gathering is a non event, always has been. There is no schedule, no registration, no fees. It is intended as a gathering of wind folk, to ride, hangout and play. Some of the retailers and schools have things they may have going on during the gathering, but the gathering itself is not structured.

Re: Millacs this Friday?
Possibly. Couldn't get up till 2:30. Right now it's looking better down here. We'll see.
Had a great session up there last Friday. Pulled in at 3:30 not a soul in sight, just whitecaps reaching into the horizon. Nothing like Mille!
