 Sun Jul 08, 07 9:02 pm first walk of shame :( |
 |
|
Went to south beach in Newport and the south current was very strong, adding to that a NNW wind, It was near impossible to stay upwind if I wanted to do some "tricks" (Jumping off wave faces is fun  ) I would imagine there would be less current if I would ride closer to the jetti. Anybody have any advice on this? Where the best place around Newport is? I saw one other kite north of the jetti at Nye Beach. Red C-kite, anybody know who that was? |

Ride a bigger board and or rig a bigger kite. It is that simple.  "Mocean" is the local down there. I think his real name is Steve.
Off TO the the beach  |

Where did you launch from?
jumping will also take you downwind, just pinch and maintain enough speed to get over the white water. |
