Wind even better today then yesterday, and fewer clouds so maybe less variation.

Swamp was fun. Wind was up and down, but 10m seemed like a good choice, solid 25mph at times, weak 15 at others, until it shut off around 3pm. Weeds are getting thick already- drift launch would b...

Whelp, Winnebago was good for the first hour, nicely powered on a 14.  Then one of those rain squalls moved through, thus ensued one of the more terrifying kiting experiences I've had.  G...

Fair session today in back yard, testing of raft went well, excited about possibilities it opens up for me.  Wind fell off earlier than I was hoping but good enough day. Stafford, regarding r...

drift launch is possible at Boxhorn.  water is deep, wind is o shore

See you soon

Heading out myself soon, here is Muskego wind.

The swamp is on right now.  Direction isn't great, but not the worst either.  

Stafford, one more quick note about raft.  It is 16' x 8 ', with NOTHING on top that can catch a kite line.  I anchor from back (now by motor & flag).  This has always been great...

@Mitchell Noyes Mitchell, I have often drift launched off Boxhorn but it always depends on conditions.  Often between Boxhorn and opening it is deep enough to avoid weeds if you launch 'effici...

Stafford, those are the right things to think about!!  And over MANY years, I have worked on answers and solutions.  First, YES, you can anchor a boat/raft and leave it, as long as you ar...

Can you drift launch with the weeds at boxhorn or is it better to launch from the parking lot?

Yeah, the weeds are bad earlier this year than in the past.  The rule is no crashing the kite.  It's not a great direction, but it is windy here now. 

I'm contemplating a late afternoon session on Winnebago tomorrow.  The weeds at the swamp were pretty bad a month ago and I imagine they are worse now.

JV, sweet setup.  I have often thought of something like that for kite launches but it would have to be so much bigger than for wing launches.  I also wasn't sure if it is OK to leave a v...

Looks like maybe a little west wind today (Wednesday), but then possibly a lot of west-ish wind Thursday & Friday, possibly into weekend.  Inland lakes should be good, and higher water lev...

It was good while it lasted but didn't last too long. Wtaers warm and the beach was freshly combed. Life is good.

12m and TT down at McKinley feels like it will work.

First session in 5 weeks today! Good afternoon at the big lake. Myself, Stafford, Bill and another guy from Kenosha all out on big kites for about an hour. Just caught the window for it being windy...

I can't get the Lakefrontcam.com to work, but it may be windy down there right now.
