Talking Brrrr!!

Hey who wants to go kitesurfing and then Snow/ice Kiteboarding while riding? Ummm. to cold for my Florida butt.

Got this video from my Canadian friends. Hats off to them for riding in these conditions. They must be desperate for wind.



Here is another one of a farm that had some flooding. I don't think I have ever seen a kitesurf video with hay bails and snow.

The second video reminds me of riding at Sunset Beach at dead low tide. But without the snow and the danger of hitting a floating meadow muffin!

I was in Montreal 3 weeks ago and I love to kiteboard but doing it in that kind of weather is simply "not fun". It just hurts being outside and i could not imagine falling in those freezing waters. I do recognize the "big cojones" they have for doing it.
