I think the first time I saw ice sailing was on some tv show in the 80’s . I was hooked! I thought this was a very dangerous sport running those speeds, but that’s what makes it so exciting. it is wild! I have a lot of respect for these guys, they have got to have a big set of balls is all I have to say! Thanks guys for doing what you do! Enjoyed watching from south east Alabama USA ☮️❤️

When a man gets off of a boat giggling you know it is a rush. Inch's off the ice at those speeds ....oh yah.

Well Done!

I so want to do this, but moving from Wisconsin, to the wet world of the PNW where it’s not conducive to ice at all, kinda limits the possibilities.

[@toddlong8672]

Why would that require stop sailing sailboats? People are ignorant
