LAKAWA

Rode Calhoun Sat evening and it was pretty good..
there are patches of ice (especially in the middle)
but also areas with nice soft snow (in particular the west side) which are fun to ride
and to jump on

I got the Ocean Rodeo Soul as a xmas present last year.. so far I like it.. (I have got around 20 sesh with it) pros: -it stays dry (I have had several time in which i did several minutes of body drag to get back to the board and no leaks) -quite easy to put on and take off -easy to move wearing it ...

Yes, it was me :D .. You left at the right time! After you left I ventured in the middlle of the lake attracted by the whitecaps there.. but it was a trap.. at around 4.30 the wind sort of died and getting back to shore was a lot of work.. :D but the colors were absolutely worth it... and it's true ...

if the wind clocks a bit toward south the bike path launch should work ok...
I am thinking of going there too.. 4 pm or so..

so get to the Wak around 4.. wind is minimal, parking lot is empty, but there is a ray of sunshine filtering through the clouds.. you can smell the spring so I say I'll just sit on the shore 5 min and enjoy the timid sun after all the rain... well as i am sitting there I see patches of wind out ther...

wind is blowing again from the western sectors,
thinking wak around 5pm today..any takers?
I know it is wet and cold, but so is the lake, anyway

It's great that you were able to sneak a sesh in between the rain!
In those early afternoon hours conditions really looked epic..
I was also hoping to make it out there but
at the end was not able to.. which size were you flying?

Hey Alex thanks! the photo is really spectacular!!
too bad the wak is not open but on the positive side Medicine seems pretty open now..
I plan to hit south beach around 4.30 today..

yes, I am also curious about Waconia, as the wind this afternoon look good,
but I do not want to drive all the way just to find ice..

I am also looking at the medicine lake webcam and it looks there still quite a bot of ice there...
really hoping to score a mn liquid sesh soon!

flew delta and spirit last week with board (142) and kites in a ion bag with golf logo on it
and I was not asked any questions nor charged any extra

so the big question for tomorrow is to go or not to go?????
I would like to go out but possibly not alone..
Calhoun maybe?

whaoo nice catch in gasparilla..yet, despite shark fears yesterday conditions were too good to pass up.. had a very memorable session in the gulf yesterday.. sunset, warm waters, big waves and steady 20+ wind (just-right-powered on my 9).. first time kiting in the gulf and I liked it.. had me thinki...

mmm I am actually in Captiva FL springbreaking with the family.. I've got all my kite equipment but so far the wind has not cooperated so it has been all shelling and sandcastling.. tomorrow though the forecast look promising.. now all this shark business makes me nervous.. will let you know tomorro...

thought about it too.. but then chickened out.. :lol: :lol: I thought the wind could have been possibly manageable with my 7 but.. i rode Fri and Sat so I was still pretty happy ii the surface did not look that great (I know, this season we are spoiled..) iii enough of the cold.. I am now waiting fo...

Hiall

Forecasts just got a bit better and an afternoon sesh looks feasible
so we can take advantage of the new pow before it gets crusty..
thinking club med or calhoun around 4pm..
anybody in???

I had a garmin 205 worked well for many years then broke in two pieces, bought the a newer model of garmin (610 or so) and it lasted 6 months.. returned to REI and got the SUUNTO ambit 2s.. like it a lot.. -pros long battery life looks good so I use it as every day watch catches the GPS signal ultra...

Unfortunately can't make it to KI this evening, was there Sat. for the first time and loved the location!!
but I'll try to squeeze in a quick sesh at Calhoun around 3-4pm, hope to see someone there!
ciaoo

great great pictures, in particular #55 is spectacular!! how high were you? but it is not just the jump.. I love the open space, the sky, the feeling of freedom it gives you.. thanks for sharing Could not ride yesterday but as I was driving in the afternoon I thought they might have been once in a l...
