WAK kiters have had a lot of great sessions on mighty Lake Winnebago this year. We are lucky enough to live near this great resource, and even luckier to have so many friends that love the power of wind. We are also fortunate to have found our new buddy “4k Dave” who has been video recording some of our sessions and publishing his work on youtube. Here is a session Dave captured from Roosevelt Park on June 5. Thanks Dave!!! Keep up the good work !!
A bunch of Wak riders showed up at the Walleye Wagatta Windsurfing Race on May 7. Winds were great in the morning, and tapered off to a light breezy by 1pm. Scott, Jeff, Jason, Ed , and Dan pumped up early and rode with the windsurfers. Dave a local photographer and videographer captured some boosts and riding . Heres the link
Some of the BEST Snow Kiting in the Midwest is on Lake Winnebago near Fond du Lac, WI. Fond du Lac is filled with kiteboarders, and people who love kiteboarders. Lake Winnebago offers hundreds of square miles of kiteboarding thrills and adventure. The ice and snow last for months, and the wind is smooth and regular.
So , stop out on the Lake on Feb 12 -14 for the Sturgeon Stampede kiteboarding Classic and Enjoy winter at its finest. We kick-off Friday with Kite Course set-up and testing, Followed by LIVE Music from the Josh Schneider Band and D’ Willy and the Souvenirs. We also have the lake’s BIGGEST Bonfire and Fireworks to follow. Saturday brings more snow kite racing, speed drags, and “Big Air” competition. There will also be live music on Saturday with lots of Beer and Food. Sunday brings more of the same.
The Shack has been launched and the Stampede is right around the corner. The WAK Shack is 1/2 mile off the Shore of Sunset Grill and Bar. There is a road plowed to the site and over 15 inches of ice. Better yet we have a good 4″ base of snow and lots of ramps and features. Kiters riding every day, and loving winter on Winnebago!
2016 Rang in with some epic kiting sessions at “Little Utah” near Mount Calvary. Don , Ed, Jason, and Dan shared several sessions at our favorite terrain park. Little Utah has rolling hills, huge drift line, and deep valleys for exploring, slashing, and super boosting. By the end of 4 days of kiting, the face of the steep slope was so diced up that Ed renamed it “scarface”
Several Kiters and Sailors were out Saturday and Sunday enjoying the frozen lake off the shore of Roosevelt Park. The entire site has great ice conditions for setting tents, making rinks, and soon to be plowed roads. The last know thickness of 8″ was measured last Wednesday and we’ve been makin ice every day since. Now, We need snow
