The powerkiting continues

Yesterday was a sorely needed wind-day to compensate for the "kitemares" as of late. We went to a nice little field last night and learned some new tricks and got some more controlled speed on the board.

We are also starting a little club/business/thing to spread the powerkiting love. We will hopefully soon launch a website at www.powerkiters.net. Check it out!

17 Mai Celebrations

Today has been the Norwegian Constitution Day. We decided it deserved more attention than it had gotten over the last few years and, luckily, it fell on a Saturday this year. We invited a few friends to come to the St. Anthony sand dunes to barbeque and have some fun. When we arrived and were getting the food ready, we realized that no one had brought matches! We rubbed sticks together (with some close results) and used the car lighters but did not achieve any flame until about two hours later, when someone went to a nearby camp and borrowed a lighter. Anyway, we ate, played, and had fun. It was a decent little 17 Mai celebration.
