Heading to st Francis before the rain/snow. It is ripping down here, 10m for sure
That got pretty wild! Wind definitely came up, was overpowered even after going down to my 12. Ryan was on a 10. Water is still pretty chilly. Really solid afternoon
I know it's supposed to build but right now it's probably 14m for me, seems a little light on shore
I'm heading down to Bradford in a little bit. Will try to post conditions when I get there
Definitely small kite day today. Need to fix my 7 as the 10 was too much. Super gusty at the swamp. But hey, didn't snap a line today!
Whelp, snapped a line as I was launching. Jeff and Ryan are here and it's blowing
There is a shooting event happening as well, so it's a bit crowded at the rigging area and I'm debating on the best way to get out. Only really the east half of the lake is open
That went about as well as it could in these conditions. Really actually a very nice session today. Absolutely lit on the 10, overpowered even at the end. Some ice chunk fields by...
I'm going to hit up the st Francis launch today around 11. I checked it earlier, ice shelf was minimal and only the occasional ice chunk floating around in there. Grant looked similar b...
Sorry, I haven't checked back here to see this! I would be interested in pads, I do use some. I just hit big Muskego this morning with the wing and board. I want to use the kite w...
@Ryan Wickens for what it's worth, grant doesn't have much for an ice shelf or floating ice in the way Bradford seemed to. But sw is no good there.
I opted for a wing and modified mountain board at the swamp. Did the trick. Still trying to dial in using the kite with it. However, was super gusty at the swamp and a kite would ...
In an effort to try something different on bumpy ice I ran a bunch of screws through the tires of a mountain board and gave it a go on Muskego this morning.... It was comical at best and will need ...
@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...
@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 ...
@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.
I'll file that under scratched that itch. It was not great conditions, onshore wind, big shore break, lighter wind, oh yeah and cold.... but it was still nice to get out.
