I'll be at rooster around that time if you want to organize a downwinder from Dalton or something. Or...if its nuked out and crazy, I'll just go to stevenson and we can do home valley to stevenson. I'll check the board before i leave school around 12:30

Hopefully it settles down a little by then! Embarassed

Cool, so it will be a bit lighter in Camas right?

How about some directions from 205...?

Thinking it might be closer from work cuz there is no way my boss is letting me out early..> asshole!

Thanks

Go for it nate, Have some one drop you off at Camas and do a downwinder to the airport. I'll swing by, pick-u up - grab some beers and fish tacos afterwards.... Very Happy

Nate...Directions?....I'm in....I think my manager just left and all of the sudden, I'm not feeling well...I think a good dose of kiting might help me feel better... Very Happy

Dudes, rooster isn't as windy as it looks... its actually really good 9m-10m right now.

I was on a 11 from 10:30 to 1:00. How was the afternoon wind? Anyone heading back in the morning?

Interesting... It seems like I've always heard that the Rooster sonsor reads low, but looking at the timeline for 10:30 - 1:00 it seems pretty close to what was there... Did they move the sensor, or is it more accurate depending on the direction?

Phil, was that you on the red & black waroo?

Sorry for the fake out guys, camas was shitty. The wind was there one minute and then gone the next...kind of like me. It really isnt as windy is it probably should be. I sucked it up and hit Rooster Rock, which was ok, but still really just up and down. Not missing much if you didn't get out.

Opted for the airport launch at the last minute...Onad was going good when we got there but it started backing off as soon as I got my kite up about 2:30.

A few periods of fun but nuttn special. Glad to check out that launch for the first time.

Dude Just missed you at the Airport. Was there from 1130-1230ish. Good 12m. Got in Rooster tonight just as it died - 16m at best.
