Probably 20 kiters hit the secret spot today. Probably one of the only spots in the gorge that isn't underwater Overall was a great session. Here are a few pictures from the day.
Props to Janet for taking pictures

Sweet pics! You guys rock! Hey just curious, what mm suits are you wearing? My thickest is a 4/3, and I'm not to sure it will keep my ass warm while I'm getting drug around the water.

Yeah its was pretty okay wind wise, but I heard 3 cars got broken into while we were down there. Seems to happen more and more these days, its a shame. I'd be careful about leaving anything expensive looking in my car.
Way to go Janet on the pics, and Tom going off da hook!

what about launching from the Washington side? In the second pic you can see people fishing down there, and you can see your cars from the river so you no they wont be getting broken into.

Good thing I took my camera down to the beach, I don't need a broken window in my car. I should have just gone to the spit. Its not worth the extra drive and having your car broken into.

someone broke the window out on my sprinter van while I was out riding at the SS spot saturday afternoon. i'm lucky that i left my dog in the van and the would be crook is lucky that they did't try to go any farther than breaking the window. my dog is know for liking the taste of human flesh.

It sounds like a good idea to save a thief some trouble and just leave the car unlocked.

Down in Brazil they have flames that will shoot out from the driver and passenger side to stop car jackings!

Great day... Too bad about the break-ins...
Hey Henry, come on brother ya must have at least one shot of me unhooked and upside down somewhere. With all the unhooked tantrums and kiteloops there has gotta be something. Kind of a bummer to see a dangle grab shot and two that I let go on show up from that day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I definitely was letting go a lot, okay...more than a lot, as I was trying new unhooked moves... But ya gotta have at least one good shot...

I'll vouch that bam was throwing some crazy shit, unhooked kiteloops and what not.
But you got to admit that "bambam landin" one is signature bammer!
