Very light + fluky. Weird, still 'cappin at the 205 bridge. Also weird, Stevenson seems to have shut off at the same time... I,m open to riding if there's wind somewhere... Nak Since 19 May 2005 4314 Posts Camas Site Lackey CGKA Member Wed May 21, 08 3:49 pm     'Caps to the west of me, 'caps to the East of me... Somewhat of a wind shadow here. WTF, I'm going to give it a try. I think (hope) once you get away from shore it might be better... Nak Since 19 May 2005 4314 Posts Camas Site Lackey CGKA Member Wed May 21, 08 4:35 pm     Very rideable here at the airport right now. Kyle's out on an 11 and a plywood glide. Powered at times, slogging at times, but overall staying upwind easily... My drysuit tore a seal, so I'm just watching. kyle.vh Since 11 Jul 2007 713 Posts city of angels Addicted Wed May 21, 08 6:23 pm     Sorry you tore your drysuit, Nak! I could have used the company. I was actually a bit over-powered out there, only slogging cause it was my 1st time on that glide, and I couldn't figure out how to go downwind! I suck at going downwind more than anything else. Is it even possible to go fast downwind? Thanks to the guy who gave me a launch! I was out for 1.5hrs, and it was still rideable when I left at 7ish. Nak Since 19 May 2005 4314 Posts Camas Site Lackey CGKA Member Wed May 21, 08 8:27 pm     Looked fun, thanks for the on the water report. I thought it might be stronger than it looked. Glad you had a good time! Like Gman says, Always bring all your gear. I should have had my wetsuit with me!        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
