It's gonna be a sick day! Everyone have a blast. We have a small crew heading to Pepin WI for some large river swell. Kiters welcome! Eta 10:30 or so.

Yeah, it was sick....blowing 28-33 with peaks of 40mph and gusty, just like the Gorge. West wind lined up perfect at Pepin, Wi. Pete and his two windsurfing buddies were ripping up the big ramps that rolled down the lake.

This was my first experience kiting Pepin - my 7M Slingshot TD2 was more than enough kite for the conditions. Thanks for the launch and land, Pete!
