LAKAWA

Sweet Thanks!

We got a bit of snow but nothing like you guys got down in the cities. Pelican is a little patchy.

I haven't been to mille lacs but it looks better (http://www.mnlakecams.com/). I'm going head out on sat and stay through sun in the rum river area and play with the wind that comes up.

check out http://www.kotikites.com/ I think they head out for demo days on sat to west fargo diversion area.. I used to kite here when I lived in fargo. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=&daddr=46.846045,-96.912031&hl=en&geocode=&mra=mift&mrsp=1&sz=15&a...

Yup camping!

Just signed up! Every year I've got out I've had a great time!

I'll be heading up there! Should be fun!

Two things to toss in the mix... The lines will stretch differently between the front and back lines over time. So you might need to compensate for that. The other thing... on my 12m 09 Liquid Force Havoc, I find it flys the best when I shorten the back lines one knot from recommended setting (maybe...

In cold weather, I'll always blow a few breaths right through the valve to make sure it is warm and the plastic isn't brittle. Also helps if it is stretched out to help go back to its normal size.

Friday we had a great day for kiting it was a little gusting and blowing 20. There were a bunch of people out on the lake. Quite a few people even had a nighttime session with some good steady winds. Mike Bares had brought up a nice warming shelter and Todd Hanson brought up his awesome snow machine...

I updated the map for where the racer's meeting is tomorrow. The wind right up near the resort is a little gusty and the roads aren't as good. So there is a little access to the south that has a much better road and better wind. Mike B set up a red warming shelter and Todd H plowed an area to park. ...

Dave check out the map http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Breezy+Point,+MN&gl=us&hl=en&msa=0&ll=46.588922,-94.19888&spn=0.024066,0.038581&t=h&z=15&msid=213217515280269449256.000497f00f2d97fd204b3 You can drive out at the marina. It looks like it ...

The wind on friday looks great! 18 gusting to 25. And it looks like some wind for sat as well! Def going to get a race on! Looks like the best time might be early on Sat to race, so make sure if your coming up on Sat you get up here by 9:30 for the racers meeting. I'll be around on friday. I might h...

Dave, I'm going to try and run the race on Sat if there is wind... and Sunday is the backup day. I won't be able to reschedule the race if the forecast looks poor (which it doesn't look too bad 5-6 days out) because I am organizing this with the Breezy Point ice fest (so there is lots of stuff for t...

Couple people asked about places to stay... Breezy Point Resort is right there and a lot of places are on the water... but a little more expenive. http://www.breezypointresort.com/vacation/rates/winter_rates.html Leisure Suites of Breezy Point are the other one in the area (they might have waterslid...

Hello All! I've been wanted to host an event up in my neck of the woods for awhile and Breezy Point is having Ice Fest... So that seemed like the perfect opportunity! Ice Fest Snowkiting is going to be held at Breezy Point, MN on Pelican Lake in cooperation with the Breezy Point Ice Fest Event. http...

Sounds like fun! Lets talk some more about it! I was thinking I could put in on the roof of my car, strap it down, and drive it out there. So It probably couldn't be too long. Maybe 10ft-12ft? Perhaps we could even find conduit or other tubing that long so it wouldn't have seams. We can set it up ri...

I wanted to make a rail or box to put out on pelican. Anyone have any tips on what they would use? I know a few of you guys are experts!

Still looking for people to drive down with me. Leaving friday night!

Anyone going down around this time? I'm going to be driving down so if someone wants to share a ride let me know, but I won't have room in the car monday-friday after I get down there because my folks are going to be with me. So if you know someone else down there that has car I can give you a ride ...
