Keeping an eye on Wed through Friday. Looks like the big pond may work well. Not a great winter for ice but looks like it could be an early start to water season.

Yesterday, Wind Lake is 90% liquid, and Big Muskego was at 20%. Overnights below freezing put a thin sheet of ice back, but it breaks up again in the day. I'd love to get to 70% or more to get on on Big Muskego this week.
Bradford might be the spot on Thursday. I'm keeping my eyes peeled!
Looks like Bradford is starting to kick in but I bet today's wind didn't get to beach. Sheboygan usually works when wind is too far out at Bradford.
Yes, Friday at Big M would be ideal. Remember when I rolled over the ice to get to the water Stafford?!? Still gotta share that video brother.
Bradford or Sheboygan Thursday. Get your bikinis out of the dryer!
Jeff, what time you heading to Bradford? Will try to be there.
For the record, I can no longer say that I have not gone through the ice yet this year. Back to normal... Big pond best place to be tomorrow!
I am off all day so I'll be out as soon as I see good wind. Will post up and text. Hope Bradford works.
No wind on the beach at all at Bradford. Not entirely surprised, but not sure kiting is going to work.
Wind underperforming inland too.
Any idea how Big M is looking? Might just wait for tomorrow if Big M is pretty open.
Out at Bradford again. Wind's enough on shore that a big kite should work.
Sheboygan was pretty decent. Started on a 14 then went to a 17. Couple other riders out as well. Not bad for early February!
Bradford was mega powered. Holy Shiitake mushrooms. Started on a 10m and things were pretty tame until the weather front passed. Then it was ON. Stayed on the 10m but could have been on 8m or smaller.
I wish I had my jump calculator on... definitely some of my biggest ever. Super warm and sunny out there. Start of a good season.

Started on a 17m fully powered at Bradford and by the end was on a 10m de-powered. Changed over kites real fast when the wind came up!
Jeff, I had 11.2 meters on the Woo, so you must have been up near that mark too!
You were definitely going big. I'll assume I was around the 10 m range based on what you're telling me. Definitely the bigger ones that I've ever done. I'm heading over to Big muskego shortly.
I'm at Big muskego and I don't think there's any way possible to get out on the water. It's still 90% ice and relatively thick at that with just a few openings here and there. But not enough water to have a decent session in my opinion.
