The Rock is at 25 mph out of the east. Is anyone going to take advantage of it? I am stuck at my desk.

If I would have left Corvallis a little earlier today, for sure. Kept on waiting for the coast to see if it would come up though. Oh well, if it still looks good when I get back into town, might come out and watch...

That's amazing, but you really don't even need a kite, just a squirrel suit!

several kites out at RR. Looked to be pretty small, one of the windsurfers said someone out on a 5m earlier. I windsurfed, will try the 7m kite next time.

I was out today lit on my 6 m. Couple guys on the beach had a wind meter when I was coming in was blowing about 30-40.

D-Dawg Report 10/21/05:
Got to RR around 1:30, just in time to see Takashima self launch (he was the 5m the windsurfer was refering to). Jeff held it together and was well balanced through most of the gusts & caught some nice airs.
Sasquatch, Jimbo & I watched for a while as we only had 8m’s and larger. Sas and I went out around 2:30 on an 8 & 9m respectively. The wind had mellowed in speed, but the gusts were peaking near forty as I watched the water smoke off the swells.
It was all fun until the 98mph nuke blast came through and we all ended up in Troutdale with a long hitchhike back. The crazy thing is the RR sensor also registered 98mph at 3pm............ ~D-Dawg out
|
This is a NWS sensor located near Corbett. Feedback from sailors / kiters indicates that it generally reads 10-12mph SLOWER than actual speeds on the water. |

Damn if Tak was solid out on his 5, I guess I'd be screwed on my 7... That sucks!

You'd been OK when we went out. The wind came down when/after Tak came in. why are you typing & not driving to RR? T & D OUT....
