High water launching at HR

I'm heading up to Hood River today; I'm curious, where do you launch when the water is this high?

looks like a big kiddy pool today. Very Happy

Launch at the sand spit. walk down the small beach to the water and rip.

Thanks Mark! The wind always seemed kind of squirrely there to me untill you got North of all the bushes...

Yeah its not the best. You want to get the kite up high as quick as possible. What time are u riding today? May have to join you.

I'm thinking pretty early. Maybe leave in an hour or two... (The wind is looking better at Stevenson right now) What time are you thinking?

I will have to check the weather. lunch at Sburg would be sweet. Not interested in kiting in the rain.....

Me neither. Right now no rain on the radar. Hopefully it'll stay that way.
