Vernal equinox delivered some coastal goodness today with solid wind and big swell. I love kitesurfing after working my job as it washes all the work grime off and makes me feel like all I did today was ride waves and have tons of fun. Included some POV of some of the finer moments of the day.

Ya man! The smooth!
Can totally relate to the grime washing effect. Makes it all peel away. Looking good for today. Rock on

Smooth as far as you can see! You coasties have the goods man.

I had a sunny solo Rufus session yesterday with 10m fan like wind from 4:00 to 6:00. It's a physical and mental reload for me as my best work "vision" comes during my water time. I'm sure everyone here can relate to their own personal benefits but there is a special clarity you receive from nature when it gives you something so enjoyable.

Gorge is shutting down so it seems like the Coast is the call for the weekend. Ponds would be fun if it goes or wherever Windian or Aeolous go because they seem to have it dialed in. Let's chat Dog!

Per GorgeismyGym;

It doesn’t look like we’ll see much wind in the Gorge over the next few days, meaning the road bikers and kayakers and folks with big hair will be quite happy. More specifically, we’ll see light wind today with a midday bump to E 15-18. Tomorrow brings E 21-24 for a short time. Sunday just looks light. If you are in need of wind sports, try the coast. 20-30 everywhere today (more at the central coast) with a 7′ swell at 13 seconds. Tomorrow looks lighter on the north coast, but the central coast should see 20-25 with 8′ at 15 seconds.
