Wind is starting to look good for Sauvie.
A couple of us out there yesterday trying new gear for the 2015 season! It looks like today and Saturday may be good as well.
A couple of aerials shots and the associated VID.

Hi Muthergoose, no, I was not on the trip. I was flying the drone My buddy Steve is the one flying it. It looks like he was having a blast considering how light the wind was. My guess is that it was between 9 and 12mph at best yesterday.

Other kites to consider are the Cabrinha Contra and the Slingshot Turbine.
I was riding my 15m Contra later in the evening yesterday and the wind was even lighter: no more than 10mph but still had fun. Most people would go with 17m though.
