Get out to Rooster if you can get away. I am stuck at home with my kid.
Damn those parent/teacher conference days!

was that you on the kite at rooster Bamboo? looked like you rode right across the sand as well as the water!!! i was on windsurf gear ( though i wanted to kite) was overpowered on a 3.7. just before leaving my windmeter showed from 11kts gusting to over 30kts up by the parking lot just as gusty but stronger out on the water - nice and sunny and warm though

i doubt that was me...i was the guy who put in at rooster and took out at the airport. the air traffic controllers were flagging me in on concourse C and i docked at gate 54. i looked ridiculous in baggage claim with my 4/3 full suit.

ok from your post time you were already at PDX by the time i got there. Must have been someone else whose last reach didn't stop when they ran out of water. one of the windsurfers headed to the ER with a finger dangling by just some skin............i have no idea how
