Just drove by Ramsey at the Bear, it's blowing solid out of the SE. Get it while you can.

I was out on monday with a snowboard and was able to edge just fine. Not sure if the surface has changed since then.

Just returned from a 4 hour session at Ramsey Beach. Conditions are great. Solid 9m inflatable, a couple of 6 and 4 foils going. Mike W getting big air on his 10 TD bow. Surface is fine for either skis or board. I was on a board and no problem getting an edge. Ice is going fast-breaking through ice around the shore. Hurry out!

Yeah, today was a good day as far as wind and slush was going. The edges near the beach were getting real thin, but right over the wall was still pretty solid. If we get that rain they're taking about, that may end the hard water kiting.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up,totally worn out and loudly proclaiming. WOW! What a ride!!

best day ive ever had

Post by eapalmberg »

despite numberous technical difficulties over my 5 hours session... bladder, ski binding, 3rd line on my foil etc... that was phenomenal! this was pretty much the first day ive been out with a big crew and i really enjoyed the dynamics of it. if you guys could do me one favor, and tell me who was flying what, i would love to put some names with some faces! i was the new guy on a 13m diesel for a bit that switch to an orange B4. thanks a ton to everyone that gave me feedback, and thanks in advance for all the help im sure youll all give over the next few months! ole!

Ok, Mike W, had the TD 10, Kurt, was using the 9M C kite, Nick was on the B4, and I was using my B6, and loaned you the pocket tool.

Hey EP, I am a philosophy professor at UST. Stop by and say hello sometime. My office is 239 JRC.

Great to see everyone out there for possibly the last ice session of the year. See you on the water soon.

Jim, thanks for the ride on your new Waroo. Nice kite!

Killer day...and probably it for ice. I was busting through the "ice" on the walk back to shore - up to my knees.

I didn't get the name of whoever launched me - thanks. I got to try out my new 12 Crossbow (Yellow) today - way more cloth than my 140 lbs needed today - I didn't even need to send the kite to get airborn - just sheet in fully today.

Windsurfing might be the call for Friday in Hudson if the wind's straight North! Water's gonna be COLD for awhile.
