Wow there is someone in my neck of the woods, I am too chicken to try it on bare ice but that looks like fun! I have not done this yet on skis static only I think I will wait for snow.

Good to see Northern MN Kiters on the site!

I live in Bigfork, MN and have been talking with the VCC Outdoor director in Ely about a potential kite clinic gathering for his students. If we get a date nailed down it would be nice if you guys came to meet up and hangout.

The classes at The University of Minnesota Duluth are open to the public, that is how I got into the sport. Check the University web page under outdoor recreation activities.
