Winds 24-36mph semi-onshore enough to make a peak riding experience and lots of grins.

some dog situations.... dogs running into the pre-launch lines, of being chased....but they couldn't catch us!

I used Coyote Rollerblades which I rode some speedy runs in one direction slower on way back .. did some light jumps.

Winter Powerkite training!

I keep bringing buggy and leaving it in car while pulling on the 'blades as I'm on a streak and enjoying the ski like aspects and such.

Way to go Brian. I agree!

Anybody jonesing for that snowkite experience really should grab some Coyotes and hit a hard pack beach. It feels very much like snowkiting with short dull edged skis.

Coyotes on a dry lake compares well with snowkiting with sharp skis on early morning corn snow.

Pity nobody got footage of you taking the Coyotes for a run!

Plenty of strangers took pics.... I'm the only one that ever takes pics. Next time I'll hand somebody my camera so maybe I'll have something'.
