Jim thanks for posting the awesome pictures. And thank for catching my kite when my center line was half hitched around my bar fully sheeted in after a darkslide kite loop attempt had gone horribly wrong.

Fun times, did a dw'er w/Stringing, Gman, bc8622--thanks guys. Awesome terrain, wind quality was 7m steady.
At the end of my Dw'er I found a dakine spreader bar. . .Pm me with the length and I'll try to get it back to you.
Thank you Wind Gods! |

Great shots! What an October. Better than....August...I couldn't help but notice....John, let me get this straight....you had a center line hitched around your bar in sustained 40mph and your still alive? How were you able to control and land the kite? Do tell... |

Luckily the wind had backed off. I assessed the situation and was ready to eject however the kite stayed pretty calm allowing me to body drag to shore where Jim could catch my kite. I think if I were facing the other way it would have been a different story and would have been pulled to the Washington side or got yarded trying to send the kite to the Oregon side.
Mostly luck had things going my way. I even had my board delivered to me as I untied my line. Thanks Hannah! |
