The verdict is out! M is officially for Level 2 riders (PASA or IKO) I guess Level 1 riders are now subject to learn at Wolf Lake which seems like a logical...
Wolf is not good for beginners due to power lines, a major wind shadow, gusty conditions, and crowds of pole boarders. I had a very frustrating beginner...
To Tim and Mike: Guys, I just wanted to say "Thanks" from everyone in the Chicago area. You guys have spent countless hours of your own time resolving this...
I'd have to agree, I've only been to Wolf once, and it's really sketchy, especially as a beginner. As a beginner, I think the best places near Chicago are...
We solved the problem of small space for learning by using 10-15m lines, at Whihala northerlies hit slighlty more sideshore than M, so the surf is not as bad ...
Just to confirm that Level II PASA or IKO kiters can ride any time at Montrose for the rest of this year and use the whole beach at Montrose except for the dog...

The PAsa Level II Certification is apx. equal to the IKO Level K-3 or better yet L-3 Certifications. L-3 is the first level where you are able to go upwind....
From Intellicast it looks like Racine might work tomorrow, Sunday. Although I hate the 2 hour drive it shouldn't be bad with mid holiday traffic. Suggest...
Well Hurricane Frances has officially ruined my chances of getting to Ft. Lauderdale this weekend. The wind gods have a sick sence of humor sometimes!...
The winds all over are messed up. I just checked Chicago, Corpus, and San Juan PR..... all looking poor. A few of the guys are in San Juan today. I hope they...
Per the NWS the backwash of the counter clockwise flow of the remains of Frances will give us a few days of steady North winds starting Tuesday. This might...
Is anyone going up to racine today? I have to be back by 6:30 p.m.... but, this looks promising. I will leave by noon if anyone is going! Ryan. "Grossnickle,...
Indeed. There is a grace period at Montrose. I thought that was for obtaining and allowing for mailing of the certifications, not to allow free-for- all on the...
