Sauvie delivered in a big way on Friday...I don't recall ever inflating only a 9m and a 6m (6 was for my 10 years old son) at Sauvie and having a blast. And it seemed like many got the memo and got to enjoy the day there. Here is a video of yesterday's action

Yep they don't happen often, but do happen. '06 is the last time I personally experienced a day. Was super lit on my 12m C kite which = a 9m SLE kite today. That particular day I was thinking about pumping up my 8m c kite; 10m would of been perfect.
SO COOL you and your son are shredding together!

Sauvie served it up for sure. I should've pumped up my 9m but thought, "It's Sauvie..." Barely kept an 11m down, definitely overpowered, and then inverted my kite in the punchy wind. Plenty more to learn.
Big thanks to a kiter named Serg, Bryan ( I think..?) and a Jetskier-Don who shuttled more that one of us. Saved me a 45min swim back from the channel.
Edit: Just saw the video, duh. THANKS!! @sromano1995 Really appreciate your help and definitely owe you a beer to say the least.

Raj! Let's do this again...(minus the inversion on the WA side ) Forecast looking decent for tomorrow. Probably not 9m conditions but I am hopeful for a 12m fun session (with a big kite as backup as always). This evening (Monday) turned out much better than I would have expected. Started slow (but very rideable on 15m) and built up to nice 12m conditions. Tomorrow's forecast looks better than todays'. So hopefully it will another great one.

Sensor is looking good.
I've committed to surfing shorties today but I'll definitely be back out there this week if it keeps up!
