decent forecast for west wind and sunshine! bring it on stevie! 
Thursday:
An ridge builds over the region but surface gradients remain westerly. With little upper level support, Eastern Gorge sites should be weakening. Central Gorge sites should be stronger with the wind driven by surface gradients. West wind from Swell to the Event site should build to 18-22 in the afternoon. Doug's may reach 17-21 late in the day but Maryhill and Arlington should be weaker in the 15-19 range. Stevenson west 17-21 in the afternoon. Coastal sites look light with SE wind in the 6-10 range. NW swell 6 feet at 9 seconds.

What happened to the ankle? Have you been riding with the ankle weights?

lol, no! Todd and I rode Lyle on Monday, I was feeling like Ruben, and tried to do a 10-15ft loop on my 11m. Kite stalled in front of me and I thought to myself, "Uh-oh, how do you get out of this?" Rear foot came out of the strap, hit the water, board rail hit my right tibia/knee/thigh while it twisted my left ankle.
It's better today though, yesterday it looked like a swollen ball and I could barely walk!

| Oouch, dude take it easy till it warms up, then go crazy. I have stopped doing kite loops, I use the photo you have of me breaking my board at Stevenson to combat the peer pressure.
