 Sat Sep 04, 10 6:54 pm Where to go on Sunday |
 |

I'm thinking about going somewhere there is wind tomorrow (Sunday). I'm kind of upset I missed yesterday and possibly today out at SI.
Anybody know where it will be blowing tomorrow?

Western Gorge is supposed to be cloudy, cool, and gusty.
Eastern Gorge looks warmer, sunnier, and steadier.

Come on Monkeyboy, I really didn't think it was too bad yesterday at Rufus. The gusts were just fine....when the wind would lull you just had to try to be on a swell and you could stay on plane for the next gust. I had a great day

riding a wake skate with a 5m fixed in gusty 20-30 is fucking nuts.
-even with shoes.
but worth it (almost) when dropping into a sizable swell on a skate.
that's just trippy
river nose is for pussies, lol
power flushed my sinuses in some of those gusts.

I don't think there was anyone to blame really. I will say this though, land from the upstream side of the rock. I came in down stream and stood on the sand bar and I couldn't see my kite when it went over the ridge where Nak was standing. That is until I saw the leading edge pointed toward the sky 
Practice those releases boys and girls. That could have been an ugly one...really ugly.

I'd tell you all that you should be coming out here... But then you would be in OK. And I'm not sure I wish that on anyone...

I left Bingen after the clean-up, headed to Rowena via The Dalles, got scared, then headed to Hood River. When I passed Bingen on the Oregon side, no one was at Bingen anymore. When I left Bingen, there were at least 4 kites on the water. Not very good, huh?
Sunday was friggin awesome at Lyle. 6M RPM with the twin tip. Sure rocked the socks off of Saturday at Hood River. That was horrendous. Was cool to see the sailboats ripping upwind.
