Mon Jun 26, 06 6:47 am Coastal Epic 6/24-6/25 |
|

Wow, amazing. I can't remember ever seeing so many kites and kiters ever. Even with 6 mile downwinders at times it even got a little crowded out there! Thanks to the coastal locals for letting all the northwest show up at their backdoor.
We stayed at the Summer House: http://www.summerinseaside.com/
Awesome place with tons of room to hang up your wet gear and dry your kites. Tony and Mo are great hosts who made us feel right at home.
The Summer House crew got two epic downwinder days in this weekend, 2 downwinders each day. First day was Sunset -> Del Ray, second were both Shipreck -> Sunset. I did all the downwinders except my first on my 7m Waroo which was a blast. Last sesh was on the 7m and my skimboard, a little tough but very rewarding to ride the waves with.
The coolest part was seeing everyone from the Gorge, Portland, and Washington who all came to tear up some Oregon surf.
Post your pics! I am compiling the shots BettyB took and will be posting them soon. Also I hear that Slithercast was preparing a vid too!

I used to wonder what to feed The RT. I was worried I'd have to sacrafice a goat, but now I know burgers do the trick!
As my sinuses drain and my knees pop back into place here in the desk chair, I have a new question: what does a troll use to soothe the workday blues?
Lurkers: feel free to speculate. LOL!

The coast was a ton of fun! We downwinded from the Jetty to Sunset beach. Even the cops where helpful!!!!
I had 12 people in the back of the truck for the return trip. A few to many by police standards. So the Cop helped out and took four guys in his truck all the way back to the south jetty for us! The guys even got Junior police stickers!

Mark,
You must have met Officer Wood. Cool guy. Former surfer from Calf. He gave me a warning for driving up above the ship wreck after 12:01. Then he BSed with me about his surfing days. The next day he stopped by to see if I had broken any more laws. Then offered me a drive up the beach for another downwinder.

PS- The coast rocks!!!

Man sounds like a cop we need more of! I just hope Officer Wood wore boardshorts over his wetsuit when he was surfing.

Thanks for the props! You and Betty are awesome. We look forward to a great summer out here, out there and out everywhere. Last weekend was so fun seeing just about everybody who kites in the NW and posts on this site. I know RT was in heaven going through his booty of offerings and showin' his might! A 13M all weekend is burly (loose some weight RT, I rigged bigger than you all season last year LOL!!!LOL beeeeooootch)

Hey Griff, good hanging with you and Bam this weekend. That was sweet getting the ride from the deputy ehh - the junior deputy sticker looks sweet on Brad's Cobra .
Brad, Wally and I didn't end up getting back to Seattle until 4AM last night due to battery issues with the Cobra. Man am i spanked...
