The gathering

[Netdewt]

I'll be sorta nearby Sat-Sun, and can maybe come by. Just show up whenever? Who's bringing the wind machine?

[Tighe]

After hymin and hawin for days, the decision was made to postpone the gathering on Mille to next weekend the 21st and 22nd. The forecasts just looked too light to make anything happen this weekend.

Think positive about next weekend.

May be some kiteable westish wind on Sat 21st for all to enjoy at Malmo

SUnday is looking promising for further West - Ottertail ?
Fingers crossed for the following weekend !

Anybody want to go up to Malmo on Mille Lacs and see if the forecasts are right Saturday?  I could be persuaded... 

[MK]

Wind forecasts are light. We're technically rescheduling to next weekend. However, if you are like me and have this planned I have an option for tomorrow:
Finding a way to make time for kiting even in no wind. Free kite intel Saturday:
1. Self Rescue procedures
2. Proper kite setup/break down (proper PSI, kite management with wind, and much much more!)
3. How to tune your kite
4. If enough wind work on upwind/body surf w/out board
5. How to drift launch
6. Sample Seat vs. Waist harness
7. What to look for in buying a used kite
8. Trending wind forecast models like ikitesurf.com
AND if the wind does pick up.... I'll be there:) If there is a light wind we may have enough for the light wind gear to get show cased too - big kites and boards. As always, bring all your gear (just in case).

10am-6pm Saturday 7.14.12. 32345 Minnesota 18, Aitkin, Turn into lakeside DNR Access Rd, Wayside Park, Malmo Bay, Lake Mille Lacs

[MK]

I'll be there shortly after 11 AM. A few others already texted me and they are on their way too!

I did forget sunscreen. But I have a 45 SPF tube of Chapstick... I wonder how much of that will cover me?

[Kevinousdigian]

Monday and next Sat and Sun (21-22) are looking good as that front slowed down slightly to give southerly Sat and then still that west wind after front.

Bump

Anyone going up for the gathering ? Any new details ?

[MK]

Saturday is showing some promise to showcase the lightwind boards and kites.

[JERRY]

20m. will be packed.

Oh bugger, I am on call Sat. I am off on Sunday though, so hoping for wind then! The car is fixed and ready to go...
