Wanted Riders/Gear for SPI Road Trip

Post by jyetley »

I'm planning on driving to SPI in early April for 7-10 day and I'm looking for one or more to join me for the drive. My dates are completely flexible, so let me know what you have in mind. It's a 24 hour drive and I'd perfer to drive straight through the night. Driving in 4 hours shifts, means only 3 shifts each. My 2011 minivan has SAT radio, DVD and mobile Wifi, so it should be pretty painless. Give me a call at 507-421-1092 to discuss travel dates. Jason-Rochester, MN

Way more plush than a Trans-Stupid, and with more helm time. Also, I think your van heels a lot less and doesn't pound in rough seas. :roll:

ENjoy. I see Air Padre is offering 24 hour demo on the slingshot joint bindings. Check them out if you like the solid connection to the board.

Hmmm... I don't think it's anywhere close to a real pair of boots. I will give it a try for sure...

I had a rider cancel the other day, so I'm looking for a replacement. Anyone interested in going? My current plan is to leave Thursday and return around the 16th, but I'm flexible. Let me know what you've got in mind! Inexpensive week of kiteboarding everyday!
