kiteboarding in missouri???

[knot_moving]

There used to be a small group of kiteboarders in the St Louis area and they had a yahoo group I think - not sure whether anyone up there is still actively riding. Last I heard one of them got pretty seriously dragged and injured down around Dauphin Island and he hung it up.

I actually checked out two lakes "near" St Louis - Rend lake is south of I 64 in IL and it has a couple of reasonable kiteboarding spots, one on the East side and one on the West side of the lake.

When I looked at Lake Carlyle I didn't think much of the area I was at - near the Lake Carlyle Sailing Club; The lake shore is lined solid with really big rip-rap in that area and I just didn't want to deal with it.

Heard some talk of people riding up near Alton where there is a slough off the main river - looked to me like it could work in certain wind directions.

Don't know anything about western MO but would love to hear some more since I will be out near Sedalia for most of a week later in the May
