I am jealous. The water here is still pretty cold. I think it is around 50.....


Been a pretty good season so far. I need to get riding, I just want the water to warm a bit before I turn hypothermic. I only have a 3/2. I know my first few times out will be spent in the drink trying to relaunch and getmy board. SOON.....

Can't wait.

Oh yeah, I rode Saturday, all day!! Now kiting all day and wakeboarding all day are quite different. Wakeboarding all day means being on the boat all day and riding 3 or 4 15 minute sets. kiteboarding all day means riding your board ALL DAY!!!! i came in for a couple of 15 min breaks to eat and drink, and was back out there. Im so sore. its windy here today, so im headed out right after work!

jealous,

they are starting to cramp down in and around chicago, I just heard one of the beaches might ban kiting now,

I just dont get it, this beach is so isolated and no one ever goes there except to kite,


I have gotten a couple of sets in over the weekend on the wakeskate, good to be out,

the authority around here is so harsch

talk about killing yourself, I went wakeboarding behind this dude's x-star friday morning (friday is the day off here), then went to breakfast, then went to the beach, luckily i figured what the hell and threw my big kite (fuel 17) and big board (flx 142), basically my light wind setup, into my car, even though the forecast was for absolutely no wind. Of course right when i get to the beach the wind picks up to 18 knots and i'm out getting ripped around on the big board, was wishing my stonker 137 would appear out of nowhere to save me.

anyways so apparently i had messed up my back and neck in a couple spills wakeboarding, as well as pull every muscle in my legs. I just compounded it by kiting for an additional 4.5 hours straight afterwards.

Jason, i hear you on the wakeboarding vs. kiting thing. Wakeboarding is more tiring in action, however you are only wakeboarding a 10-15 minute set then taking a break. When a kiter says he kited all day, he literally means 6-7 hours straight.

Although I do love the feeling of coming in after a good session, landing your kite, then collapsing.

Wind has be strong, but dying fast, a lot of people have been getting skunked over the last two weeks.


For such a large major city like chicago, they do not embrace new sports at all. Especially the ones that include a board.

But if it is softball or soccer, the world will stop. Chicago finally made their first skate park a few years ago. 1 and only 1 skate park in chi town that I know about. What a joke.

These politicians are so old school and conservative it makes me puke. Even though chicago is labelled at times as a democratic city, they sure act like conservatives to me.

They will allow dogs to run all over the beaches making a mess for everyone else. But a 1/2 mile stretch for a kite, not acceptable.

Oh well. sooner or later you will not worry about any bans, because it will be banned everywhere.

nah, if anything, i think the bans will go away. Once people figure out what it is and how it works, it wont be an issue.
