Mike from White Salmon for rescuing my kite at Rufus on Saturday! Fully wound up on my 6m, got yarded and as I was body dragging to hunt my board down a windsurfer came down a (sweet) swell and ran into my lines. His rig got tangled up in the lines and my kite was doing the death spiral. I ejected and the windsurfer and his gear got pulled straight downwind leaving me bobbing in those sweet swells. Board got picked up and taken to shore (sorry didn't get the name for a proper thank you to the kiter) while I started to swim in. Current took me a ways then windsurfers Gail from Vancouver and Pierre from Quebec towed me to one of the islands saving me an even bigger swim. Swam and tippy toed back thru brush and hot rocks made it back to the launch area and whoa…there 's my board and kite neatly wrapped and tucked away!
Thankfully saw the (very remorseful ) windsurfer who sailed into my lines and made sure he knew no big deal, stuff happens. Unfortunately I was too frigg'n tired to go back out!
Best to all for your help! |
