LAKAWA

As I was telling Steve earlier today, I unfortunately missed out on yesterday...but after today, boy am I glad... I would never have made the trip two days in a row and schedules being as they are, yesterday was out and today was in. Being my fourth or fifth day up there ever, today was BY FAR the m...

Randy - When are you guys taking off? I might be game as well...if you have the chance, definitely give me a call at 952.285.2913 (whenever) or if you would be so kind as to leave a number here, I'll give you and Ryan a call in the morning to see how things are shaping up. Nice to share Bellaire wit...

diego, shoot me an email...i'm ready to go SOON as well.

Though I don't kite, I tend to fall into the same camp as Dave....go only as big as necessary for your fun threshold. Get something big enough to maximize your time on the water but don't get carried away (same for the small end of the spectrum). I have two boards...both freestyley (wide) - a JP FS ...

kurt warmest gloves ever, hands down (obviously mittens are going to win that battle, but if you're looking for gloves...): http://burton.com/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=339 (now, my hands don't usually get cold, but in 20yrs snowboarding these are the only ones that I absolutely never have had to put my...

As far as sailing goes...Tenney Park is absolutely epic on a big NW day, but for kiting you'd probably want to go a few blocks further east to Burrows Beach. That seems to be the kiter spot...shallow really far out, less people, and no rock jetty sticking out into the lake to contest with. As far as...

Arden I worked on the Cirrus project very breifly in 2001 I believe...they brought me in to help with design and modeling on some sort of light collector thing and then before long I think the funding went away...it was also right about the time I started windsurfing. I remembered a guy with your fi...

Arden -

Are you the same Arden Anderson that worked with the Cirrus Project at the UW a few years back?

As I said in the other post, I have a suit very similar to the Palm and have never had water down by my feet...everything says pretty well completely dry. The few times I have used it when it was REALLY cold, with multiple polypro layers underneath, I did find that cuffs of my undershirt got wet as ...

I have a suit very similar to the Palm Classic you guys are discussing...made by another paddling company, Stohlquist. http://stohlquist.com/dyn_prod.php?k=29473&p=STO56133 Mine has the integrated latex boots that I wear neoprene booties over the top of and stay *completely* dry. and FYI, with t...

Nathan, check your voice mail.

Coach...if you're heading up give me a ring: 952.285.2913. thx. m.

I was just going to post the same thing...looks/sounds awesome.

I was contemplating that line all day yesterday and most of the ride home... Out on a 5.7/83L early in the day (noonish) when Diego was on a 5.0/114L and a couple others were on 5.8's...flattened it out as much as possible when some came in to rig down. Then I finally came in and re-rigged a 5.2 and...

Did you get your old job back yet?

If it is on, I hope to see you there.

Coach - If you have any 430 masts or big wave/slalom carbon booms you are looking to unload let me know...had a 430 break the day after the big day up at Superior, likely fall out from the waves... I have both bought and sold on iwindsurf and have had good experiences every time...though the first s...

Quick note to the Superior crew from last week...check your air filters, intercoolers, etc. I spent a good three hours today sucking, shaking and swabbing sand out of my van's engine compartment. Removed about 6 cups of sand from cavities within the hood alone! There was about a half of a cup in my ...

Bear with me as I am operating at about 11% capacity right now. With only one previous Duluth session under my belt and only a few years of sailing experience I was so anxious about going up today that I woke up at 2:45AM....churned out some work, sent some emails and was in duluth before 7am. --- K...

Schedule cleared.

Only been to Duluth once a couple of weeks back, but had a blast on a marginal day...keeping my fingers crossed.
