Powerman - likewise with my back yard. Wing and skates are best - however we had some open ice up until yesterday in some areas even around my island, so best to know what you have under you....

Pewaukee ice is the best I've ever seen. Thick, hard and smooth. Could have ice skates on it. No snow but that's alright. Fun night. Going back later this week with wing and skates. 10m and kite to...
@PowerManJ316 no snow it's all just ice. Patches of black dimpled ice and bands of refrozen ice chunks.
I hit Winnebago today right off Roosevelt park. Ice where I checked was over 6", but I didn't check everywhere and didn't travel too far. It generally seemed good, some bumpy sections a...
I haven't kited there in a few years, but if you know your way around there drift launch & land also possible depending on wind direction and lake level.
@Ryan Wickens you park right on superior across from either the sisters of st Francis or the arch diocese. There are steps off the bike path by the sisters, or the bike path goes right along ...
Where exactly is that and where's the best place to park?
@Ryan Wickens I didn't see this, but I launched off of Bayview beach. South Shore area is all under construction. Got a nice hour long session on a 12 before conditions went side shore and gusty.
Lads! It's been a while. Super crappy weather (cold, no wind/wrong wind) has not helped but today might be the last day of the year to kite! North wind and 39 degrees means SSYC but I haven't been...
Was nice on the ice inland. 4+ inches in back yard. Rain ain't gonna help though...

Believe Bob Cook running this one, hear they have a website (besides WISSA) if anyone goes looking for it to sign up, sharpenup those speed skiis Jeff (Powerman)!
I'm thinking about heading to grant or Bradford here in a bit. I noticed a slight ice shelf at Bradford but grant was clear
Two of the guys in the video have attended and competed WISSA (World Ice & Snow Sailing Association) world championships when held in Fond du Lac in 2019 and a few years before. I helped ...
@Jeff Vkoeberl wow- some surprisingly soft landings for skates/wing on ice
Another favorite, caused me to start winging more than a decade ago... https://youtu.be/qH7PH9ktkLY
I like the sounds in this one myself. All my obsessions in one video... https://youtu.be/i4tuW92Vd7s
