Saturday is looking sweet. Hope to see you all out on Wayzata Bay. Races registration begins at 2pm, be rigged by 2:30 racers meeting. Wonderful surface conditoins with soft cruising and push through to the ice in heavier carving.

Forecast light winds but good enough tonight. We'll see who has the skills for lighter wind management. The spectacle of kiters with whatever lights they rig shall be splendid. Saturday races in Wayzata Bay 2-5pm forecast looks good!!

Game on this Friday 5-8pm and Saturday 2-5pm. Wayzata Bay. Chamber excited, I'm excited, you excited? Get your glow sticks or amazon order in for battery operated LED's, Friday night is going to be a spectacle. Plenty for all the singles and families to do at the Chilly Open.

Calling it off for Sunday. It's part of the game we play. The winds will come another time.

Poor winds today. Let's hope Sunday winds pick up.

I'm indecisive for running the race. 1. Location 2. Day: Saturday and/or Sunday 3. Adjust start time for wind Forecast better first part of the day Saturday and last part Sunday. Saturday winds locally light but useable and surface will be fast. Forecast Saturday hovering around minimum winds needed...

Right on! A few inquiries asking about switching to statuary, Checking with cities now, forecast favors Saturday.

Worthington was very windy and we had 3 racers. Great for the community to support our efforts, thanks to them for the interest. Jay got a little over powered on the 6M. I put up a 4M. Nick did really well on an 8M. Challenging conditions but still quite fun. Saturday on Excelsior http://excelsiorbr...

Momentum:-) Last Saturday we seem to have gone without regard into the -20F temps and had a slightly larger attendance both on the course and sidelines. Impressive spirit these kiters are displaying. Will anyone catch Jon Stroh? He requested to make the course bigger, the only one I should add. Jim ...

Indeed. A sign of the times? I too reveled in those days. I'll suggest a few things, maybe stir the pot. As for me: writing is fun but quite time consuming and my time has been allocated to my growing family as well as my own interests, my brother calls it The Selfish Bastard Club, I'm a board membe...

Saturday shaping up nicely with wind forecast holding and suggesting big Kites. Naturally I have a few for sale but those properly outfitted will stand the best chance for podium placement. The course will be fun to run regardless and surface should be faster this week than last. Here's a local bait...

You got it. Also Feb 5th 5-8pm night race just approved as well in Wayzata by Sheriff. Chamber excited about two days of activities in addition to Chilly Open. Hope you can race! http://www.midwestevents.com/

WindwardLeewardcourse.png Series of races almost weekly to a few of our 10,000 lakes throughout the Winter. Stay tuned for updates of conditions, parking, race format and results. "Race" is a little bit of a misnomer since the idea is to invite all who are able and interested to gather in...

Glad to hear of the turnout and your comment. Access is always at risk and being considerate of our riding options takes vigilance, so you're not a bad guy:-) Remarkable feedback coming in. Did you know they have 27 adjustment variations you can do to a kite? Makes sense for getting most range and f...

Core Kites Demo this Sunday on the north side beach of White Bear Lake http://www.lakawa.com/lakes/wtbear.html Come see what German engineering has done with the kite world.http://www.corekiteboarding.com/us/xr4 Time subject to change with tentative start time of 11am.

That was a fun day! One of many. My dealer is giving me incentives on those Pivots while inventory lasts. You got a great deal on yours and thank you for the opportunity to be your retailer. I'll run more demos here now that we're back and timing is upon us. Thanks for taking time to post!

I sent this inquiry out to my reps, along for their feedback. My Naish rep just responded: "Hey Mike, I think I got this one… Stability is created by balancing the “tow point” which is the imaginary point at which the bridles create pull from. Keeping that aligned with the “center effort” of th...
