Re: Duluth Thursday?

Not an epic session, but certainly a delightful session. Fun play on thigh or waist high waves with dave12341234. Winds were 10-12 when I got there at 1:30. When I left at 4:30 winds were 15 and waves were a bit beefier. Winds were a little bit side shore, almost NNE, so down-winders toward Wisconsi...

Re: Duluth Thursday?

Work sucks and I'm not really getting the window for this I've planned on. Should I just blow it off? Should I be responsible toward work and kite with Arthur at Belaire and help him launch his )@#*(&#@*# kite (again)? Should be irresponsible and just let it go and drive up to Duluth and enjoy a...

Duluth Thursday?

Kevin O has called a good day for Duluth coming up on Thursday. Who's in?

If work doesn't explode in the next two days and the wind doesn't slide too late, I've blocked it off.

Re: light wind boards

I love the feel of riding a surfboard. Strapped or not, its all more fun for my tastes than a square board. I have two surfboards. The best of the two in light wind is a 5' 6" FireWire Hellfire. I still have a 154 Door for light wind bottom feeding. I can come close on the Hellfire but still no...

Re: Another great day on Tonka

Very nice! It was great to get other kiters into the view and add more interaction and interest. Nice toe-side work too. GoPro 3? From the kite are you using Narrow FOV? I like the kite mount perspective. This has the subject much closer than what I've seen from a kite mount. Or are you on short lin...

ML Loop

Should I confess to this or not? With a whole day off in my hands yesterday because of "President's Day", solid wind, reasonable temps, and everyone at home needing to work... what's a guy to do? I promised Sweetie Pie I'd be careful. I've been itching to kite far for a long time. I starte...

Re: Today around 12-1pm

Looks like a good day for kiting near Bellaire WBL.

This thing called 'job' is kind of in the way... but still, maybe.

Saturday is shaping up to be a fine day at Kite Island too.

Re: Can I bust out my skis yet?

These last two days have been great. I went out twice yesterday and once at noon today. The surface conditions are sweet :D StrutWear: Sounds like you ended up downwind from your starting point. a) If you started on the up-wind end of the lake, there may not have been enough clean wind there to go u...
