I've got a bunch of boards.... 
I hope the forecast holds...looks kinda weak right now.
Let's keep an eye on it...Carl/Tony...you guys might need to bring the 4-5m foils!!

Just thinking about it...if anything we can meet them and drop off some boards, or go after the session...or before, then ride all-night...??

Well, lets get our priorities straight....
first, If the wind blows, we hit the airport, toss a few trainers, grab a skate, and pound a few beers....
than we head back and move the couch....
The wind comes first......  |

Sure, bring the ROO for sure, just don't crash it....
But, I would say make Carl and Tony bring their big foils...!!!
It still looks light here in town, so maybe Forrest should cruise by the Chinnok LAnding lot and see what the winds like there.. 223rd and Marine Drive.

Only if you want to remove some skin from your torso....
I was fully powered on my 2m yesterday. The big kites are allot slower and pull like drugged apes. Worth a try though. I can't make it today unfortunately. |

That shit is fun to watch - got one gust on the 3m and let it rip - was launched like Bob Beaman when I decided to bail - can't recommend that
Onsite report? doesn't look like its going off |

| I trust ikite for the airport as it normally seems to be fairly on, but it's dead today... Yesterday said ~20 gusting to 25-30 and that's what it felt like. Definately a lot lighter at my house in Gresham. |

| Heard from Forrest that it was a mirror - Chinook Landing could be good but I don't think it is lit and looked like they shut it down at Sunset |
