In any case, this rescue is amazing and brave. Just another fine example of the kiting community. So proud and in awe of the pilot.

Can you imagine being in cold water and seeing the fire department unable to assist. That guy is a true friend. Free beer for life! _________________ Hey, I'm being hahahahahrassed!

But you don't know which way its going to flow full force in or out. Read this http://www.gi.alaska.edu/ScienceForum/ASF6/620.html These tides are so severe that they could, will, generate energy someday. Often people, and animals to collect stranded fish etc. and the tide comes in and they drowned. This is no average tide. _________________ Hey, I'm being hahahahahrassed!        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
