Bar was closed.. I would guess for the season

Got a late start today and wound up getting there around 2:30. I had no idea where to go so I chased down a kiter (thx for squeezing me in to my harness!) -Headed back to the car to gear up and grabbed the 9M and headed back out.. -Wrestled with the kite for 75 mins or so (bladder had twisted inside...

Rolling out from the city at 11

Heading out late morning/early afternoon, leaving from the city.. I will be solo, and won't launch unless i see someone else.. Anyone else thinking about heading out?

Thursday & friday are better for me.. How do I check the wind? what direction works best there?

I would be interested in heading out. This would be my first time on ski's.. I am an expert skier and novice kiter.. would this be a good spot?

Any reports from Keegs or MC?

For those who got out yesterday..
What was the water temp like? What kind of wetsuits were you wearing? Booties? Gloves?

Any updates? I'd want to head out in about 15 mins..

Awesome.. thanks!

Anyone have 2-3 inches of kite tape and some bladder repaid stuff they are bringing along? If not can I pick any up anywhere in the neighborhood?
