Re: Kitestorm: Kite Swap, racing, demos ++

Rachael,
I am psyched for another great event. Clearly, if the snow holds, this will be the best conditions ever!

Re: 62° Parallel Snowkiting

Nice. It looks like a spectacular location. A bit crowded, but not with humans.

Re: Krug: 59.1mph; 12 going on 35(mph) and boarding on black

The switchblade is good fun, but I have much more to learn about its speed characteristics. I just picked up the SB3 from Todd Hansen. It has an adjustable bracket that allows the blade to adjust out from the board edge. I had it out the other day and was digging in pretty hard. There are lots of va...

There's nothing wrong with ice in drinks. A good 20 will get a good set of skis going up to around 50. 25 can get you close to 60. Then there are the magic gusts to create huge accelleration boosts. Good stuff.

Skis are faster. Snowboards are generally below 50.

Re: Snowkite is Ready on the Lake Champlain near Plattsburgh

Its never skates for me. Ice is for sharp skis and snowboards with the Switchblade. There are some light patches of snow, today. Hopefully, more on the way. Not super promising, but here's to hoping the storm track is a little more inland.

Re: Snowkite is Ready on the Lake Champlain near Plattsburgh

Hey C, I got out at Sandbar this afternoon and it was soft ice. I played on the snowboard with a Switchblade. It is not a huge area, but plenty of space to play. Speed runs yesterday, with my best snowboard speed of about 47 mph. The wind was about 15 to 20. Wind was light today. Hoping for some bre...

Re: Snowkite is Ready on the Lake Champlain near Plattsburgh

The ice at Sandbar south side is good and thick, but unfortunately, the snow all melted and it is just ice. Going out on the water today to start the year off right, then an ice session...

Petril,
I wish we had those conditions. By the way that is a very respectable speed. Keep up the good work

Happy Holidays
