Don't drive on the jetty. Being self launch/landing capable is helpful. Moto Since 03 Sep 2006 2698 Posts Still a gojo pimp! Moto Mouth Wed May 15, 13 3:33 pm     I stopped by there a couple of weeks ago to check out the spot. Looks like a descent enough launch. Definately do not drive on the jetty - that will get it shut down. _________________ Still rockin gojos, *ssless chaps, and ankle weights! 97031 Since 22 May 2008 145 Posts Hood River Stoked CGKA Member Wed May 15, 13 3:44 pm    east only The launch has worked very well since being completed last fall. The big thing to note, however, is that it is only an EAST WIND launch at this time. West wind exposure is in a wind shadow due to vegetation extending down the jetty. The CGKA is hoping to be able to create good west wind exposure at the site, but that may be a year or two down the road. stevegriffith22 Since 14 May 2006 434 Posts Obsessed Wed May 29, 13 8:21 am     Pics please. ...... stevegriffith22 Since 14 May 2006 434 Posts Obsessed Wed May 29, 13 8:23 am     Pics please. ...... BeerKite Since 29 Mar 2011 471 Posts Obsessed Wed May 29, 13 9:46 am     Check out Sella's link above. It has great before and after shots. We had a great time out there last year when it was christened by the CGKA. Really good East wind launch but maybe a little iffy for west wind. I would recommend Stevenson for the west wind as it is pretty much the same spot in the river.        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
