Just to clear up some facts. This a tragedy for sure. This person was not a local rider for Ocean Beach. The average kite out was a 5 m to 7 m and scary with gusts to 50. This was straight onshore wind from a low pressure system, very gusty. Word is he had a smaller kite that had some maintenance issues, so went out on a 9 m slingshot RPM. It was high tide too with hardly any beach between the water line and the parking lot. We still do not know who it is.        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
