Kite surfing is the snowboarding of windsurfing, although it seems to be more successful. I tried windsurfing as a Jersey boy, but, difficult sport to learn if you have to depend on the wind.

A measured 8” of cement with a ruler
I’m done with the snow blowing shit.

I used a snow blower for years until I bought an ATV . Kawasaki 360 with a 4’ plow and chains on the rear tires . I must say it’s downright fun regardless of the snow weight! I’ve had storms in the past that have started out as snow and turned to rain and in a few hours became 4” of masonry shortly after a cold front. My snow blower blocked up and was useless.

With larger snow storms a couple mid storm sessions do the job pretty well.

Actually nj has some of the best windsurfing/kiting in the country.
Barnegat bay from seaside to lbi

They look like they scoot along well...similar to the racing sailboats.

Just skied Red River today, just north of Taos on the Enchanted Circle in...Red River. Free over 70. Very cool little mountain with a lot of steeps, but a lot for everyone. Would love to be there with a fresh foot of snow. Grilled cheese and fries, chicken wrap, two fountain sodas for 22 bucks. Lots of what looks like affordable lodging and some bars in the town at bottom. Highly recommended if you're on a road trip.

I was comparing depending on the wind to learning to ski pow while living in NJ
