Re: Where to kite on a North wind.
Yesterday was amazing! Tom you're looking great on those TDs. The beach on the south end of Waconia is good for north winds when there aren't any swimmers. I'm going to watch the wind and try to get there after work if the forecast holds.

Elseworth landing on the south side of Lake Washington can be great for north winds.
Re: Where to kite on a North wind.
Unfortinately the south beach on Waconia now has huge perminate umbrela things all over the beach, launching a kite will be much harder there now at least on the sand. It was such a nice early/late season spot. Pleanty of room to run your lines out and then just throw some sand on your wing tip and self launch. But now somebody who hates the sun felt the need to shade the whole beach.

Thanks Jeff it was fun. You were ripping under those flying fish. We were ripping opposite directions. I looked over and if our grins were any wider we would have cracked our faces off. All that can be seen below helmet and sunglasses is teeth. Thats when you know its good. Took time to heal and catch up on work today.

The Wac is my fav on a North wind! Its some of the best wind lines of any lake in the cities.
