What about all that snow and wind on treeless undulating terrain you've got? That looks and sounds pretty sweet to me. |

Should be plenty of south winds on the north coast today. I was thinking of heading out, but it's not gonna work for me, logistically... |

I do have epic snowkiting 30 minutes from my house that blows most every sunny day. But it's cold, and there's no one in bikinis.

21 sessions in Aug in the gorge, a new personal record for Aug, going back 10 years. Some of those days it only blew for a couple of hours. The secret to my my success is being retired, with a view of the river and weather to the west.

Someone should run an experiment and compare the number of no wind days to the number of agro posts on nwkite.
Based on the number of agro posts recently I'll venture to guess august and september sucked ballz for wind
