Looks like the Fremont is blowing 14 right now and should hold out till this afternoon. What do you think?

EDIT: and its a sunny 50deg out.

I think it rained a shit load in the past day. So in terms of CSO, I do in fact mean a shit load.

but sans that, go get some man!! I think I scored the first Sauvie ride last year and it was in March or something.


Edit: correction, its blowing out of the south. Sauvie hardly ever works on the south.

While opra at 0230 does sound temping right now I am going out of my mind due to the lack of kiting. But south does suck and my drysuit is more dampsuit right now. Any other suggestions on location?

Yeah, the coast is the ticket right now...
SW-S winds...can be pretty good...Little rain wont hurt the kite...
I'm hoping S winds can deliver for Sunday...Still too early to tell...

I, Jake Chanson, am not responsible or accountable, for any of the following suggestions:

If it's a gusty, stormy, south you want, you might want to try the WA-side of columbia, maybe wintler, or even frenchmans...
sometimes, if the south is strong enough, rooster can blow west... who knows...

i'd go skate-kite if it dries up..., the airport is gusting to 26 now.
