Hahaha yep I tried in the middle of winter back in 2001. Very windy, but super gusty. I left my shoes on with my 3/2mm till I got my kite in the sky and well as soon as I took them off the gust's hit bad, getting pulled over the sharp rocks was not fun. Girlfriend at the time running after me and laughing. I got to the water's edge and the kite fell out of the sky again and bam massive gust, into the water/mud face first!
On the back of my truck I geed up a large tub of hot water to pop my feet in.
Second go was just as bad as the first and I never did get up and riding on the water that day. **** it was cold.
Good luck on the lake if you get up and riding and post some pics if you get off the shore. You can see the wind line but its just very hard to get there!
Good luck with that one.
I would these days be sitting in the Jindy Pub watching and having a great laugh....
