| I was at the spit on a 7.5 fully powered, but did not see any of the usual gang. Did people head east? |

I took the day off (from sailing) and stripped wall paper all day. Didn't mind too much though as I went 5 for 5 last week.
Mon: North @ SI 20M
Tues: NW @ South Jetty 16M
Wed: East @ Lot D 20M
Thur: East @ Lot D 8M (steadiest 8M I've ever had)
Fri: SW @ Seaside --> Delray 20M
Sweet summer shizzle! |

If you don't see your crew, your in the wrong spot! 
I think I had my best Rufus sessions ever today... First on 9m, second on 7m... both times were good for those sizes. Both times did the downwinder through the ponds, super fun.
Tomorrow looks a little lighter, thank god! This is fun but I don't know how much more my body can take! |

Hey PKH,
Was Rufus crowded yesterday it looked like one of the only good spots? Kite Karl and I were on the coast all weekend, light wind but fun!
Thurs- 4:00 Area D 20m missed it, two guys came walking buy with 9m and said it was good earlier.
Fri- All day Manhattan Beach 15-20m down winders.
Sat- Nehalem Bay 10:00 15m got a good 1.5 hr in then the wind died but that place is fun. (Steve you missed it)
Sun- Back to work

Mark - Not a very newbie friendly weekend, especially at the sandbar. Maybe go down there with a surfboard and a trainer kite... other than that you could head far east or to the coast wheer winds are lighter.
Tim - Rufus wasn't too crowded... there were a lot of people there, but it was blowing all day so people were out on the water at all different times. Also if you went way upwind there was nobody, dodging poleboarders was interesting though.
I will have to keep an eye on the coast... bummed I still haven't been out there yet this season. |

Sunday & Monday at Rufus was some of the SICist 9m R5 riding I've had in some time.
Nothing but altitude SICness if you wanted it!!!
If that wasn't your 'bag' head high glassy swell was up for grabs at the wall and shockingly, the whole stretch was was never crowded!
cheers,
