That was a solid session, 14m felt great. A little gusty and chilly but great to be out. Thank you Jeff for the pump loan!

Inland wind up and down, mostly down. Sorry I missed the downwinder! Given the conditions, surprised Dalius didn't wingfoil that trip...
Just finished up at Grant Park area. Wind was great, but gusty! Was out on an 8m and it was perfect. Ran into a few guys named Ryan, Joe, and Dallas.... all 3 kiters started out at SSYC and did a d...
@PowerManJ316 Thanks! I'll plan on bringing my 9m to start, appreciate the insight!
Unfortunately my window of opportunity to get on the water is going to be too narrow to spend part of it driving downtown and then back. Going out in my back yard instead but wish I was on th...
Don't see any kiters at SSYC but see some vehicles parked. Wind looks solid. Starting on an 8m. Probably could go 10 as well. If I don't post back up y'all know why 😜
Looks like 3 kites are out at ssyc currently. Probably going to head straight there after work at 4pm and hope the wind is still on.
Got a late start, just arrived to Grant Park. Winds are good, side shore out of the north, but gusty at moments. If folks end up at SSYC, hit me! (920) 334-0350
Stopped by South Shore on my way to work. It's definitely lighter at shore, but lots of wind out by the wall. I will hopefully be back after work this afternoon.
Thanks for the info everyone. Unfortuntaly won't be able to get out until 4pm so hope it's still on. Planning on checking grant first as that's the closest and then ssyc if I don't g...
I cannot get out until after 2:00, SSYC or Grant if enough E in the mix. Also, welcome Cavan. I believe Cavan's proximity to SSYC may come in handy sometimes for update on conditions... ;)
I like the flat water inside the break at SSYC on a NE. -planning to head there tomorrow too
Cavan, welcome! Mitch, in general going to a location more south when the wind is out of the north works best. There are exceptions of course, and the south shore bluff kills some wind ...
Hey Mitchell. Cavan here, just moved to MKE about a year ago. I'm new to this forum and new to kiting in MKE/Lake Michigan in general, though I've got about 9-10 years experience kiting off and on....
Looking like a north coming through tomorrow, trying get out after work for the first time in a long time tommorow. If the forcast holds as predicted, where would you suggest a kook gets out? SSYC ...
On weekends in particular, McKinely beach is better than Bradford. My first session was strong from McKinely, but I was too late in the day for it too last long. By 4 pm the wind ...
Summer conditions are definitely here. Bradford was a zoo and the weeds are a hassle at the swamp. Managed an okay session at the swamp on a 17
That should be more ideal, won't be free till after 2 today. I'll keep an eye on the thermal.
Bradford might work with a thermal.effect bending the wind onshore
