Oh boy! I am going to attempt to get off work and head up. Should know soon if I can make it or not.

What is the call for Mille Lacs? Father? Reddy Creek?

Who else is in?

I agree that lessons can dramatically shorten the learning curve! Money well spent! Every day you go out is a bit of a new experience. Everyone has had their moments of long walks back, kites going down and not back up, rat's nests, and you name it. Although not quite as frustrating as learning to w...

Bonzer! Whoo ha! I am off work from 10am-5pm tomorrow, so if it stays SSE I will be hitting up Ramsey at Da Bear. Ok to launch there since it is Sept or do we just play it by ear depending if anyone is at the beach? Who else is going out? If SSE I will look at the forecast in the AM to make the call...

Awesome stuff everyone! Mark, drop me a note or post here if you need some help with the elbow tendonitis. It is not a pre-req for kiteboarding! I hit up Malmo and it was crazy! Got out on the water a bit past 11am (thanks for the launch Steve, I think). The wind was just perfect for my Cab X-bow 12...

Headed up to Mille today. ETA about 10:15 at Malmo. Whooo ha!!!

Ooooh looks good.

For da Bear, is Wildwood the best on that wind direction? I should know this, but how the heck do I find Wildwood? How is the launch there?

For Mille, what is the call?

Still need to see if I can get out of work first

How is da Bear on a S/SW wind? Randy, if you need someone to help pay for gas to Mille on Wed, I should be able to get off work. I promise I will watch the time and be back on land on time unlike last time :shock: Phone is 763 four five eight 1756 Hopefully I will see people out there! Rock on Mike N

Thanks Mike G, I will try that out. Hopefully that will work since I want to make sure water does not get inside the board.

Jerry, much appreciated! How do I reach this Diego guy?

Anyone see any wind out there? Looks like it is supposed to be some nice SSE, but I don't see anything here and the weather reports are all across the board.

Anyone headed out?

Jodie and I are planning to make it. Not sure which day(s) yet.

I still remember the Gathering 3 years ago? where I fly my 8m kite both Sat and Sun. So epic!!!!

Good info

My fav twin tip board got crushed on the end a bit by the airlines on my last trip :( Nothing horrible, but it looks like the end is cracked and I don't want any water to get into the core of the board. Anyone know of a place locally (or someone I can pay) to have it fixed? I am not very interested ...

Looks amazing and this is on my bucket list, so keep me updated. Not sure Spring 2012 will work yet, but who knows!

Rob-man, keep me updates too!

KimK Sounds like you are doing better. Sweet! Try to avoid long periods of no movement (if possible) since you probably need more movement in that area. Tissue can get "stuck" to other things during period of little to no movement. Seems simple I know. If you are still doing ART, try to do...

Will do. I just dropped you an email.

WOW! That looks awesome! Sweet! Thanks for the great vid and pics too! Whoo ha Jodie and I along with my family will be spending some time in Homer AK at the very first part of June. I hear their is good kiting there on the bay (although chilly I am sure). If anyone has info, let me know. Have fun!!...

Good stuff everyone! Yes, car rental and driving in Mexico is not at the top of my list, but the things we do just to go ride! It was all worth it though and I guess paying the cops off with $40 is not the worst thing ever. Report back and let us know how the Mexico rides go! If you have time and ar...
