Gotta get upwind to Wells Island, it's one huge kiddie pool. Also, down in the Hood River is pretty nice too, and bigger than the kiddie pool.

just where a full 3/2mm suit or similiar and go play in the Hood River, some awesome flat water when the wind is ripping. careful tho, cause it is super shallow when the water is that low.

Must work till 5....... today.... arg.....

you guyz, I know about Hood River. It just doesn't always set up right, you need more wind because the current pushes you downwind. If you have plenty of wind and you can setup powered stuff next to the glass near the shore then its really nice (better the kiddie pool even.)

Wells is good too, but not really glassy, and its a journey to get up there and back.

The real schweet thing about the kiddie pool is you can kite right in front of your bros. But that's more of a weekend thing anyway.

Anyway listen to me, I am so spoiled already... I complain about water that even wakeboarders wouldn't scoff at. Very Happy

Forrest - not sure where to head today, was originally thinking Stevenson but looking a bit too cloudy. Maybe I will see you at the bar (probably be there around 4.)

That is what 8 of 8 days of riding in smooth SPI water does to you!

Dawn Patrol was sweet from 7-10am.
We ran a clinic for one of our employees on a 7m2 bow and the rest of the crew flew on 9's and 11's all by ourselves.

The only other guys to show up was a couple of kiters from Bellingham.

Good stuff!!
