I'll probably try hit Manzanita in the afternoon if I can sneak away from work. Today didn't even look like it was close to happening. Let me know if you're heading that way.

Hope you guys got some of those glassy walls @ Mazo. I opted for the Hatch & Wells - Super, Super nice & smooth 11m 3hr. sesh. Nice and toasty in the Gorge today. How was the coast? -C

Got some alright. Was awesome riding for over 1.5 hours followed by an awesome kitemare at the end of the downwinder when the wind shut off and I ended up self-rescuing for over half an hour as my legs got more and more tangled in my lines from me kicking in an effort to get closer to shore. Going through the break zone was the best part. Then spent over half an hour at the beach trying to untie myself from my lines. Luckily some curious fishermen came by and helped with the job. They said they'd seen some tangles but never anything that bad. At least I got some good rides today. Pretty lit on my 8m and surfboard with occasional waves over head high.

Manzo was tasty on 7m, small board and surfboard, nicely spaced bigguns...

I still got a lot to learn on that surfboard.
