LAKAWA

I am heading out now, ETA about 2:30-3. Will bring helmet cam, so smile!

Some sweet shots! Whacha use to take 'em Pete, Digital? Zoom? From the dock? I want to get some more action pics today myself, so folks, look for me standing in the water, Come by as close as you feel comfy with, a mast length is OK, as the camera is in a waterproof case. (I can only zoom 3X, so you...

I'm lucky enough to have sailed about 3-4 boards in the range you are looking at, about a month back while in Vela, Margarita. They have the F2 line, and my favoite was the Maui Project 245cm, 71L. I'm rarely on the really small stuff (@220lbs), but the few times I got to sail this, it was amazing! ...

The rides were hard to get Wednesday, as the wind didn't quite crank as forcast, and it was about 14-20mph with peak gusts around 30. Needless to say, the 10-15 of us at the DNR launch, had fun anyway! Plenty of kiters and sailors ripping it up, scoring fun points! I went out with the 6.5M, the 305 ...

Heading out now, ETA 3:15-30. Winds are still on the way, looks like Cannon is already windy, here's hopin' it keeps comming! See you out there!

Looks like the south side will get slightly more wind, and this sets up dandy at Cannon. I really prefer Waconia, for water quality, and I'm trying to decide on which site for the day tommorrow. I'm leaning towards the Wac, as this will be nice for some on the water photos in the shallows, (after th...

I had loss of images for a couple hours, about a day ot two back, but it was working 2 hours later, might have been an outage during updates or maint.

Looks good for the Wac! I'm loading up and hope to be out there by 1 PM or so. See you there! Tim W.

It's blowing now! Loading and leaving, ETA 3:30-4pm, see you at the fishing dock! Here's hoping for some ramps! Caio! Tim W.

Looks like the experimental is showing more to the west and south of here. Cannon could be the best choice, with Waconia second. I'm trying to decide which one... thinking Wac, as it's closer. Anyone else?

With the wind in the 20ies forcast for Sat. I'd be up for a ride or two if the water is in liquid state! Just got back from Margarita, and would love to get back on the board! I hear Washington is open, and that might be the option. Drysuit ready! Anyone have more recent info on either of these lake...

Hi all! I'm lucky enough to be down here sailing in the warm winds of El Yaque again this year! I'm hosting a web site of digital media taken on a daily basis,(Thanks to Eric and downhaul .com!) and if you want to check it out its at: http://www.downhaul.com/users/timewalks/index.html Hope you are a...

Yes, I have one from about 3 years ago, and it works great. I took the
digi-cam with and got a video from last week:

Great fun with skis! Get up to 20-30mph too! I would like to get out on this fresh stuff! Might have to do that soon!

On that BWCA trip, when I got to the entrance at the motorized portage at Vermillion/Trout lake the operator said he couldn't take that surfboard accross the portage, 'not a registered boat.' I showed him the sticker.. 'Well, it's a wind powered craft' was his next statement. I reminded him I payed ...

Coolest Slalom Sailing Nature Interaction. Sailing out of the 'Vela Cancun' center, when it was open 9 years ago, about a mile off shore, and a 3-8 ft oblong school of rainbow neon tetra fish, about 1-4 inches long each, swam alongside my board in the crystal blue carribean waters, and then burst ou...

Weather Geek I am, I admit to the obsession with the data, and most of the time experimental is right on, but Saturday was predicted less than the actual, and the models didn't look like it would be that light. The jetstream was still strong NW, and that almost always pushes some wind down to the su...

I have to thank you Eric, for the posts and the major karma points when you gave me a ride from Garrison beach back to Malmo to get my van and gear! Since I was so late in getting back off the lake, and not even thinking before hand to set up a return trip to Malmo, I was the last guy standing aroun...

Wow what a day of sailing!! Both Saturday and Sunday! Today was a bit light, but I just had to go for it! I've signed up 5 years in a row, and this was my first time I actually got accross!! Admittedly 35 out of 39 is nothing to write home about, but what a feeling of satisfaction to actually sail b...

zee crystal ball says, NW 15-25, so the long way accross, Malmo to Week Ends or Lake Mille Lacs Resort...Partly Cloudy, 58 deg. Could it be? Sunday looks good too!

How was the water temp on Mille Lacs?

Awesome day at Waconia! Haven't sailed since June! The first few minutes were tough to regain ballance and control in the gusts, but after a while the body/brain connection gelled, and the riding was a blast! I've been too busy with work, and not enough play! I've gotta do this more often! I was hav...
