Looks like an epic week ahead of us in Oregon, but I got to leave town for work. Going to San Diego for a conference, will be out for a week. Bringing my kite gear but they have very little wind down there (15mph+ day is nukin for them. ) I will see you all when I get back... have fun killin it without me! pacifichigh Since 11 May 2005 1004 Posts ATX Texan Sun Jul 24, 05 3:20 pm     Pack your biggest kite & head for Silver Strand. Its a sweet spot when it actually blows pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Sun Jul 24, 05 3:50 pm     Yeah I hit Silver Strand last time I was here, never got on the water though it was just too damn light. Tuesday has the best forecast with 11 KNOTS!!! Awesome, good thing I brought my big kite (13m.)

TSP is the north-most end of Pacific Beach and there should be kites up if it is sailable. Good surf there too and good parking.    xml.sa.mapquest.gif  tonski Since 11 Jun 2005 332 Posts NW Portland Obsessed Mon Jul 25, 05 8:05 am     PKH, I grew up near Tourmaline - be careful, the surfers tend to be very territorial and the break gets crowded when it's good. pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Mon Jul 25, 05 12:53 pm     Cool thanks for the info guys... I got to do some stuff for the conference this afternoon and Thursday, so Tuesday/Wednesday are my days to make it happen. Silver Strand is actually 11-15 right now, too bad I got to work... oh well maybe tomorrow.        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
