Charlie don’t surf! (& neither do we with no wind)
Mark: You either surf or you fight.
Ryan: Are you crazy God damnit? Don’t you think its a little risky for some R&R?
Mark: If I say its safe to surf this beach Ryan, then its safe to surf this beach. I mean I’m not afraid to surf this place, I’ll surf this whole f…ing place!
later that day……..
Pete: Your mission is to proceed up the Cuyahoga River in a Navy patrol boat. Pick up the Don’s path at Avon, follow it and learn what you can along the way. When you find the Don, infiltrate his team by whatever means available and terminate the Don’s command.
Ryan: Terminate the Don?
Vic: He’s out there operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct. And he is still in the field commanding douche bags.
Mark: Terminate with extreme prejudice.
Pete: You understand Ryan that this mission does not exist, nor will it ever exist.

Gonna hit sometime saturday, hoping to get out of work more early than late……..
Saturday is going to be the season opener for me.
Anyone else?
If it starts early, looks like I’ll be a sacrificial lamb. Need to be heading home around 2 on Sat. Have the whole day off friday, so maybe I’ll get lucky friday.
Where are you guys thinking of going?
heading to Fla….. no wind in the forecast there……..you should have some good sessions here… compliments of yours truely
thanks, no matter what everyone says you’re all right in my book!!!!!
Thanks Don! You leave and it gets warm and windy. Got my first Point Place session of the year last night. 15 Rev, overpowered to not powered.
Made it… warm and sunny….. the wind forecast is GREAT! …. 5-10 for the next 5 days!

There family is supposed to come over to Toms place for a night around his firepit……damn, I’m so outta place! How f ing funny is that!
Did you have to flip a coin to find out who was “pitching” and “catching?” LOL
Pitching!

he is a catcher holding a hot weiner…..hmmmmm…..very good observation Pete.
Leaving for FLA tomorrow back Monday AM……hanging with the in-laws!!!!!! Don’t worry, no fun planned. I’ll start a new blog post when I get back……
Ok I got a late start….but my season has begun
rode till my hands were not functioning……it didn’t take too long. LP had nothing when we swung through- ended up at Maumee Bay, put about 2 hrs in with Don, Ryan showed as I was whupped……sitting here at work STILL cold!
I still haven’t been out.
I’m thinking MB for my first water session this year. Anyone going out tomorrow?
I will try to get out after 4pm, but it will be at LP, I suspect.
quick 2 hr ses…. 12m… had to jump over an ice flow 1/2 way out….. on each tack….. landed on it once it was like hitting rock….ggg
Monday looks like the day….
SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY, who’s going out on sunday and where cause the wind is looking pretty good…i’m back from some good times in charleston, sc and ready to go
peace
I’m thinking MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY….night
Went by LP Saturday, completely ice free.
Dodging icebergs at the power plant… 12m then 9m…. no waves… the ice kept it flat…
300 yd “hole in the ice to kite in…. Cleveland Mark, Chris first sess… as we were leaving
then Luke and Joel were heading out. fun time
This just in: Gary scores the first water session of the year!
WOW… cool I was looking at Thursday at the PPlant…. but it is fizzing out….do you guys have open water yet?
not much….yet. I’m gonna guess anything onshore will bring ice with it.
Nice job Gary!
Awesome!!!! I’m looking forward to getting out there too!!!!
That being said, perhaps it is time for a new blog for kiting…
Perhaps……
“perhaps it is time for a new ……”
KITE !!!

Does anybody know who was flying the old Takoon 9m in the Perrysburg Soccer fields yesterday?
By the way just got back from 2 25knot sessions in the warm waters of Naples FL.
Hey Pat
That was Zack, he was the land boarder who posted comments during the summer. He said he had a great time out there. I go to school with him
Mark A
Big day at the bay. Don rolled from C-town in 4WD with a last minute call out. Mark A and Zack helped me keep C-kites the majority. Pete was a little late and non believing the slew of 7′s and 9′s in the air but added another 9 to the mix. Gary…I don’t know how you didn’t get cold! Thanks everyone for the great turnout!
yes that was fun…great wind and snow…..sore!
good turn out…. now I just have to try to stay awake
at work all night….
Yes it was a great and I am looking forward to the next session.
It was also nice to be out there with so many other kites!
Where you guys at Maumee Bay?
We were on Maumee Bay, but not at Maumee Bay State Park.
Anybody down for some kiting today? Let me know where you are going.
Anyone down for a session tomorrow at 9:30 at Point Place?
Slightly underpowered on a 13 at Pburg soccer fields. Still fun, but the snow was pretty light
Wednesday is looking good. Ryan, you off?
Not until 4. I’d be game for after though. Should be plenty of light for a night session.
I get done working at 1:00 tomorrow and will meet up with you guys if you have a decent place to ride. Give me a call 419-350-0089.
I can probably cut out of work early and be ready to ride by 4:30. Cullen park? Is it still frozen?
Sounds good
I went out there to check out the conditions and there is plenty of ice but the snow on top is thin and patchy. I am going to try and find a spot with better snow conditions.
So Sunday……Where is it safe to go?
I’m working until 5 and then might hit the ice near Cullen Park. Safe……something with grass under the snow?
Gary and i scored a quick snowkite session at his house.
Hmmm snow coming. Will there be wind?
Merry Christmas!
Mark and Chris…… had an epic session this AM at bayshore….. 12M way over powered…. me….well I do
have a family……ggg and did not want to end up in the “dog house”
Well, is that it? Looks like ice is coming in.
Jon was at boobs

MB Wednesday morning… Maybe
Boobs was lots of fun today…Had decent wind until 1:30 when it started to trial off.
Jon was good on his 11 while I was slightly overpowered on my 14
Not looking very windy around here. Anyone up for a trip to the East?
Boobs it is!!!
Well, if it is south west, Jon and I were thinking about hitting up Boobs, but I will leave a message tomorrow morning before I leave
You’ve always been a little bit off.

But it depends on the wind direction—if and where
so Pre-Turkey riding on Wednesday to build an appetite for Thursday?
