Start of the kiter cross race where I’m in 3rd place…not for long though!!
This past weekend, Paul, Woodette and I headed to Winnipeg, Manitoba for another kiting event called ‘The Wild Winter Weekend’. This awesome event was hosted by Boost Kiteboarding of Winnipeg. Boost, along with their volunteers, did a terrific job organizing the event held at Oak Hammock Marsh. Free food, Free drinks, and they had a prize for everyone that registered! Oh, and guess what? Registration was FREE too! Now that’s a deal eh!? There were almost 40 kites in the air at one point when I counted, so lots of colours flying in the sky making for lots of stoke flying around as well. A real fun part of the trip was staying with our friend, and Team World member Roland, at his house in the city. Roland aka “The Ironman” was a very gracious host and did a real fine job fussing if everything was ‘just right’ for our stay. Great times and lots of laughs for sure! If any of the Minnesota kiting gang reads this post, be sure to mark this event in your calendars for next year. The Wild Winter Weekend Rocked!! No wonder they call Winnipeg the Rock Capital of Canada!
Have fun

Wow, the kites are pure eye candy. Awesome. Yes, Winnipeg is the rock capitol of Canada.
Having fun in the winter under a blue, bright sky makes it so much more enjoyable!
Back to the big, windy city tomorrow for some splashn fun with the 3 Kinder

Great pics and a fun time for all participants at Mille Lacs and here at home at the Oak Hammock Marsh ‘Wild Winter Weekend’. This kiting community we have is as much fun as the windsurfing community; many of the same people. I really appreciate remarks made by Woody on his endorsement of Winnipeg kiting. We had a lot of fun and it was nice to be able to show our stuff and have the privilege of having the ‘Woodies’ and Paul at our place. Hope to get together more often.
