Sunday sounds good! If all goes well I'll have a new wetsuit and new board to ride. Anyone want to carpool?

Little early to tell, but I think the coast will be good just because of the slightly warmer water. What do you guys think?

Thinking coast too... I'd say its not a sure bet like Rooster, but I'd rather have the "warmth."

Then again Saturday looks like maybe some west wind in the Gorge... Lyle maybe?

i am praying to the wind gods tonight that conditions will line up tomorrow in Hood River good enough to go out and have a sesh because i have a 14m T2 that i want to try out. Cool

and well, if the wind blows harder than what is forecasted, i'll just have to get out my new fuels and take them for a ride!!!!

I have never flown a bow kite before, but this is a sicky kite, i can't wait to try it out. I will post some pictures of it soon.

Mmaker: sounds like you have a nice plan!

I am thinking some downwinders on Sat at Sunset, then hopefully Rooster on Sun.

We might get some sunshine on sat. Cool
so can't deny that.

Coast sounds good too. Hate the salt water, but a little warmer is good. North or south wind? Haven't checked the forecast yet.
