Hey! That's MY lake! That's the same place we go snowkite. Actual published average depth of that lake is 17 inches. The wind can be nuking and you'll be lucky to see a ripple. Part of that is because the water gets uber thick with algae of course.....he said he did some color correction to the video to lighten the color of the water spray. He has a vid from last year or the year before where you can see huge black chunks bigger than your footpad flying out in the water spray.

The flyer is the local FS rep - Mike Dowie. Great guy. He's out there ALL the time despite the stink and muck. I'll fly out there (on the water) sometime soon but not until my skills are such that I won't have to drink any of it or dunk my kite into it. I can hardly stand when the dog goes in and has to ride home wet. It STINKS THAT bad. So sad really.

Winter time though? It's on! Can't wait.

thx for the catch, ME / I

im a little off at the moment ... i have some many projects on the go, i cant figure out where to begin. its all fun work but there is so much of it.

actually since I've come back from World Cup I havent had one RedBull. This is half my problem, since I forgot to phone the RB Rep when I got back and just figured that out today when he called me.

inland sushi sounds fine, i think ... probably more exotic fishes.

(sorry for the off topic)
