Re: Kite specific snowboard
I own the twisted velocity snowboard. I love it in deep snow. When I was riding at skyline in Utah last winter I saw several other people riding them and we all agreed that it is great in deep snow. The reverse camber side to side and tip to tip along with reverse side cut make it feel almost like y...

Re: Kite Island
Hey Scottman. Wish I had good news about kite island. I have been riding the upper lake for 2 weeks now. It seems safe. However the main lower did not freeze tell 2 weeks after upper lake. The heavy snow fall pushed the thin ice down and created a huge slush lake ontop of the thin ice. This cold wea...

Re: Swede Lake???
Not to sure about ice thickness. But the snow cover is now bad. When I started riding at noon on Sunday we had 2 inches of nice snow on Swede. At the end we had an 1/8 inch of slush or puddles that felt more like water skiing than snow skiing. I suspect the ice is still good because nights are so lo...

Re: Snow Kiting Harness
I love my Dakine fusion. The padding around the hips is nice if you go down on your side on hard ice. But some only like waist harnesses. Depends on riding style.

Re: Exciting Days
My 7 gets spooky when it blows over 45. I don't even know if a 5 would have been small enough for the biggest gusts. Two houses to the west. A boat lift designed to hold a 4 thousand pound boat. Took off and flew 2 houses to the east of me before coming down, hitting a dock and flipping one more hou...

Re: Solo Malmo Sesh
Nice score Randy. I saw it happen on ikitesurf. But too late in the day to get any myself. Glad someone got to ride. Looks like next 2 days could be good also.
perhaps even Waconia. Depends if it over or under performs forecast. Some times you just have to take a chance.

FOUND a HARNESS left at waconia friday 6/4/10
I was the last one to leave Waconia Friday. Several items were left behind. A slingshot bar with best lines and chicken loop. We think it might be Jeff's. So Jason took it since he is closer to Jeff than me. A nice home made skim board. We hid that under the pine tree in the middle of the rigging ar...
