This winter has seen few storms along Minnesota's North Shore of Lake Superior. After getting slammed by a couple of big snows in December its been relatively quiet. No big low pressure systems coupled with NE winds has made for a relatively quiet surf season.
We did have our first rain of '08 last Monday, which made for an ice covered mess and forced over half of the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon teams to drop out of the longest race in the lower 48 states. Bummer as many of the teams had come from quite a distance and all had trained hard. In case anyone is interested, Jason Barron of Lincoln, MT won the race and more details may be found at www.johnbeargrease.com
If you are interested in trying snow kiting check out UMD's RecreationalSports Outdoor Program for its Snow Kiting Expo on Island & Boulder Lakes. Hours are from noon to 5 pm both Feb 9 & 10. www.umdrsop.org

Designer's notes on the new Think Legend:
Fall WrapHard to believe but the Labor Day weekend is already upon us and, despite the calendar listing 9/23 as the start of Autumn, it signals the end of summer. Don't despair, however, as some great paddling is left whether just out & about or looking for that last race or two. Then comes surf season! The big news is the Chicago Shoreline Marathon coming up next weekend on 9/8. Please check the events page here or go directly to http://www.chicagoshorelinemarathon.com/ for furter info. This should be a great event offerig fun, comradeship & challenge for all. A number of paddlers will be traveling to the event so check in should you be looking to car pool. We will be at the event with boats and other paddling equipment to demo so please stop by our booth at Leone beach, where the race culminates, and check us out. Then, if you still have more go, don't forget the US Surfski Champs in San Fran at the end of September. Presently overstocked on kid's equipment, so if you're looking for a great deal on a kid's boat, paddle etc. please check in with us and we can make your young paddlers Autumn, Christmas, Hanukkah, Qwanza, birthday...a great one. Hope to see you in Chicago! Visit Us at CanoecopiaYes, it's true! Superior Surf Systems will be displaying its goods at Canoecopia Spring 2007.
