LAKAWA

Nice to meet you all out there yesterday! It's one of the bigger turnouts I've seen at Medicine. Good to meet you Brad. Maybe see you back out on Med Lake this weekend. We can develop a restraunt business plan for the lake I was starving by the time I waddled off the lake, a restaurant would be awes...

I'm playing hookie in the PM of my workday. I should be setting up around 1:00 on the East beach. It should be a great day for kiting...hopefully the temps don't get above freezing though. See ya out there!

Kite on!

I just wanted to give props to all the folks who randomly convened at Medicine this Saturday. The sun was out, the wind was good, and everyone was having fun. Not to mention the Art Shanty crowd seemed pretty stoked watching us! Hats off to the riders testing their new SS bow! What an awesome second...

How about adding some "flava" with "Conscenda"... femine tense of the latin word to ascend.

Good luck!

I go to Menards and pick up two pairs of cheap but warm gloves. I've found (after 15yrs of boarding) that the more expensive brands ex. Dakine => Burton get sliced after doing repetitive board grabs. I just can't see paying $30 $80 for gloves any more. Plus, it's always nice to put on a pair of fres...

Good management and neighborhood. Excellent for after-work kiting/sailing.

My nemesis is Eurasian Milfoil...dang it all to heck!

Whoa, here we go again. This discussion pretty much parallels the quandries we faced when snowboarding appeared in the Midwest. The locals vs. grommies thing reminds me of the battles in the east coast surf. My two cents: Grommies (includes myself): * Go to safer areas to get your skills dialed. * E...

Milly looks good too. Can't beat the smooth winds there.

Thanks, Dennis. Too bad about your injury...is that about three since last year?? You're hardcore, man!

Rock on!

Sooo.......Washington today?? What's the call...getting itchy to get out.

Where's everyone/anyone goin'???

Yah, I usually launch from that east beach park. Scoped out alot of other sites along the lake, but there's really nothing too good. Winter is truly the best season for the lake. See ya there sometime!

Beware of the swimmer's itch at Medicine....yikes!!!!

Hey hey! It was great to see everyone again...it was tough to recognize folks without their snow gear on though! :!: Many thanks to Tighe for bringing me up-to-speed on the kitesurfing scene after my 3yr hiatus. Great tips and well worth the lesson. Next time I hope we can get the wifey out there to...

Hey-o! If anyone's looking for an Island alternative, I'll be KiteX training all day tomorrow at Medicine. Plan on using a bigger kite with the 20 deg temps!

Kite on!

Well put

Losing one of the Originals is a huge bummer. I thought the Freeze was awesome...didn't hear about the ticket. That really sucks. Speaking of which, what the heck happened to the Freeze this year??? I'm not seeing it in the Events section...along with losing my winter fat, that's one thing I look fo...

Tighe, Diamond sounds good. What time are yuse thinking of getting there? ~ bmr P.S. Am I the only one who doesn't give a rip about product endorsement? I've noticed a lot of polarity in the bbs lately...who's riding what?, who's pushing this product? I still fly my bright orange 5.0 '99 Wipika Free...

Nice! How r the conditions in ml now??
