To bad cause it was GREAT!!
Jeff, Jon & I rode all evening, ten & twelve meter super powered, waves building to around 4' by 8:00pm. We all had to quit cause we were poopped. The Mother was a sweetheart and she's warming up too.

Chip, I thought that was you I saw out there... any ways there was one windsurfer out there!

Jeff, Brian, and I rode for two hours, it was great and the waves were HUGE! I was lit on a 10 the whole time! can't wait for more big days!

Must have been Chris.. I tried to get out around 5:30 for about 30 minutes, switched boards but never quite had enough power to get outside, inside was totally dead. Before and after I sailed, the wind was pretty stellar - water temp's not too bad at this point either. Hope you guys had a good time

One of my cooks was up in Duluth Thurs checking out a school when he spotted a kite so of the lift bridge and went down to check it out. One was on the water boosting big and someone on shore needed a launch so my guy helped out. Came home with a cool vid on his phone and lots of questions. Could be a newbie. Another one of my former employees with a cabin on Washington just started lessons with Chad. The fever spreads.

That's my Wrangler, that was Jeff and I... I was riding and your buddy launched Jeff’s kite. Brian showed up a little later to make it 3 fools riding in the rain!

The wind has been blowing up here but it just won't stop raining! Looks like a possibility of another NE push later today… fingers crossed!

Sorry you missed you guys. I was up there at 1pm riding all by myself in the rain. Nice 7m session though!
