Got there around 1:00 with JP and Tucker, but the wind was super SW so we just waited it out until ~1:45. By then Tucker had left and the wind came up to powered 13m! A couple other guys were out, but with the fluky, up and down wind, they eventually left. When we left at 5:00, one guy was just getting on the water. Overall, good day, and awesome not to be in a suit!!! Very Happy Thanks to Nhien for takin' pics! Thumb's Up

Nice shots! Water level was quite a bit higher today. I like it more when its flooded like in your pics.

I am curious, how long do you kite out in that cold water w/o a wetsuit when it is sub 60 degree water?

looks like the water temps are ~58.5; still pretty darn cold in my book.

I rode pretty much the whole time... Not in the Klickitat or channel though. Stayed where it was the warmest in the puddle and close to above the sandbar. Probably ~2.5 hours. The water at the airport yesterday was a lot colder, but the crazy air temps help. Still wouldn't wanna be swimming.

I slogged along yesterday at the airport in just a 2mm upper and was fine.
