Trevor is dangerous, don't listen to him!!!  
Phil, I expect to see you out there. If not kiting, just drinking a beer, pulling people's "Oh Shit" handles on the beach... I don't remember you doing that, but Trevor blamed it on you!

Its only safe if you use a Board Leash, and no helmet. |
And a "C" kite because they don't have 3000% depower  |
OK> Gear check of a person wanting to "try" your gear at the beach:
1. 2002 or older kite
2. Make sure your "Demo" board has a leash so they don't loose it
3. a C kite is a given..its 2002 or older, they have like 2 or 3 inches of throw should be enought depower right?
4. Make sure Trevor is around to verify your safety system is working as expected while you are flying it.

Anyway I am so beat from yesterday, don't think I will make it... or will I? |
Very true phil but I think with these warm temp...It should blow way past your bed time...It was blowing way past 9pm last night...

| I'm pretty sure the Sauvie's sensor broke (probably from spinning too fast), 'cause it hasn't updated since 7:00 still.

| I don't really know, but 15-19 is what was forecasted on ikite. Thing is, who knows where the sensor is actually on the island (at least I don't have a clue)... and it always seems windier than the readings. I think the sensor was showing low 20s when Amery was on a 5m earlier this year. The Seattle-Portland pressure was like 0.06 steady, so that's probably not helping a whole lot either. Just need some good HEAT in Portland!
