Keeping an eye on Manzo cam this week. If it shows signs of clearing, will head out from PDX at noon. Typically use the southern launch at the border between the town and the state park.

Pretty good day, 2 10s, 1 11, and a 12m from Shipwreck to Del Ray. Manzanita looked a bit windier from ikitesurf, maybe 9m

I should have checked here sooner. I wanted to do a downwinder but didnt find any shuttle partners. Need to check here more often. I ended up riding in the young bays bridge area into Warrenton instead, was super fun spot. Tempted to jump the bridge, is a nice thought but too crazy for me.

Good Ten meter conditions for the Ft. Stevens downwinder on Thursday, Stringfellow killing it on the strapless foil, sorry no pics. Only 4 kites out, Sea Lions and whales a plenty.
Heading out to Shipwrecks again today 12:30 to 1pm should be great.

Good to know it was 10m since the Clatsop sensor was only showing 13. It really is low on those NW days. Probably 20 eh?

My 15m Turbine turned out to be a Jones killer. Who knew?
Im 215, and could have ridden a 11m with a flat board, but I stayed on the 15m and my 136cm TT. Great session of floaty air.
Good to ride with you Erratic.
