Who else wants to play in the sun? I think Tucker and I are going to head to the airport (currently - 14 gusting to 26) ~2:30... Just don't feel like drivin' too far. chanson Since 31 Jan 2006 1873 Posts WISCONSIN Chimey Tue May 29, 07 12:24 pm     which launch at the airport are you guys headed too..? the sandy beach area..or the shady rock/grass launch..? I might be down after work. _________________ Shallow Dive Design, 2nd Wind Sports, Airush, Trident Sports forrest Since 21 Jun 2005 4329 Posts Hood River Hick CGKA Member Tue May 29, 07 1:24 pm     Leaving in a few, meet you guys out there.

I always get skunked there. Its always one thing or another at the airport. I think there is some kind of curse there. chanson Since 31 Jan 2006 1873 Posts WISCONSIN Chimey Tue May 29, 07 6:35 pm     Quote: man, If that place ever got good wind, it would be killer. To bad the wind sucked. I have been there on a strong east in Dec....and once you got on the water the wind filled in a bit...but still gusty...where isn't it gusty on the columbia though... Also, I have heard of guys riding on a westerly too. What was it like out there? _________________ Shallow Dive Design, 2nd Wind Sports, Airush, Trident Sports pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6548 Posts Couve / Hood Site Lackey Tue May 29, 07 6:39 pm     Its gusty but usually chop is super confused too... still good for a fix and its in the middle of Portland which is nice for P-Town folk. Kataku2k3 Since 14 Aug 2005 3753 Posts Los Angeles, CA Videographer Tue May 29, 07 7:58 pm     I got ~30 minutes total in a 2 hour period on the 13m. There were times that it was perfect, solid wind, holding/making some ground, on the super flat water, but then it'd lull out and I'd have to walk... Second time with no suit this year (first time in deeper, colder water) and it wasn't bad at all! The wind would have been perfect for Sauvie's, just not with the current running with ya.        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
