Dave,

I am spending a few days in the area and will head to Malmo tomorrow if the forecast holds. I am from Madison, so looking forward to seeing the great conditions Milly has! I will be on Eclipse kites.

I'll be there around noon if the forecast holds. Looking forward to riding with some new guys--fun to see more new faces. Should be an awesome day.

Dave, I should be able to bring a couple extra boards if you want to try a true kiteboard if you're still riding the wakeboard!

Edit: Whoops! I never would have shown at Malmo--I meant Reddy. Tom is right--I think any East in the wind will be better at Reddy.

With a SSE wind direction Reddy Creek would be a better launch site. I may head up to Reddy tommorow if the forcast holds.

Hey Dave,
Nice to meet you and hope to ride with you again soon. The board you used was a Jimmy Lewis Flight Deck, but it's really just best as a super light wind board. It's 147 x 46 with not much rocker. There's much better boards to learn on like a Liquid Force Proof ( https://velocitykiting.com/index.php/bo ... proof.html ) and it's much cheaper as well!
