First Annual Chicken Loop At New Johns Lake
A friend of mine, AlsoPaul, held the first annual Chicken Loop Event <https://kitend.wordpress.com/2016/08/22/first-annual-chicken-loop-success-in-spite-of-wind/>__ last weekend (August 19-21). Chicken Loop is the premier (and, for now, only) kiteboarding event in North Dakota. One would think that wind sports would have more of a history in ND, but you have to start somewhere.

I stopped by for a bit on Saturday. It was more for moral support than anything since my largest kite is a 3 foot trainer. Unfortunately, the wind wasn’t too cooperative, but a few people did get some time on New Johns Lake. The inconsistent wind meant a lot of boarders would get launched just in time for the breeze to die and leave them stranded in the middle of the lake. Fortunately, several friendly boaters were available to lend a hand.
