Even if you weren't right next to water...be fun to glide around like snowkiting...I am not as familiar with the PC dunes but Florence would be kick ass!

Last Sept people were hucking themselves off the dune and landing in the water WAY downwind. I think these people had no more lawn to mow, so they were trying something different. Never seen anything like this done on the Oregon coast, but I bet there are some nice dune between Florence and Coos Bay that have the right orientation with the N/NW winds. corey4x4man Since 13 Jun 2011 134 Posts Beaverton, OR Stoked Thu Jan 12, 12 3:45 pm     I know the guys on the tv show catchin' air did a piece on the Oregon dune where they hiked em and tried to boost off them. I recently watched it and they could have chosen some bigger dunes but the concept is there....

It takes a NW (all summer long). Fun for speedwings and paragliders too.    DSC_3057a.jpg     DSC_3075a.jpg     Resize of DSC_3165.jpg     2011-10-23_18-07-49_442.jpg  _________________ Lets FLY Sella Since 21 Apr 2007 1794 Posts Doin' The Dalles FLY'IN HIGH PIE GUY Fri Jan 13, 12 10:04 am     I knew Dunes would bring the goods on this thread.
