iceboarding - ice sailing

60+ y/o riding a 3-bladed homemade iceboard on Lake Champlain in Vermont, USA. Video taken by his patient frozen-fingered partner of 40 years so he can share this dance with the wind with you. The ice board has 2 blades in front, connected to a skate board truck for turning. It handles like the windsurfing short board of your dreams. The single blade in back provides stability at higher speeds. Enjoy...

Same story here except when there is good ice a 3-bladed ice board is still the call.

Be Like Smilla!

Got a few days in on the Ice here this winter. Quite a crowd active on the Massachusetts Ice.

Mr. P_ _ _ M_ _ _ I presume. Don't know what Smilla is... News item: we got the State of Vt. to pull 4 trees they planted near your old windsurfing building to provide a safe kite launch. Your history helped sway the argument in terms of precedence... respect! ...KE

[kenecando]

your too kind. you have the same name as the guy who developed a three-bladed ice board and called it the Champlain Flyer - any relation to him?

I had one of those. Duck jibes are easy. I even learned to monkey jibe.

Haven't used it in a long time, since I took up kiting.

You Presume correctly.

Smillia is a good friend of Phelps and mine from way back. Ask him about her.

My History? I never ended up in a tree.

That was GKjells forte'!
