WOW Awesome sequence!
...it's pretty cool to see guys ripping towards the shore, send the kite the opposite way and lift off right above the sand!

Hey Amery......How late do you usually stay at Sauvie's....I'd like to fly some demo's but can't make it till 6:30/7...mop up what's left.
Was the wind solid late yesterday? Should I even make the drive? Anyone know the DL?
Thanks!

I'll stay out there late if I go. I reneg on my previous prediction of good wind out there. Conditions have changed since last night and its a little up in the air right now. Sauvies still could go though. Just need to keep an eye on the temperature at the coast. If it stays cooler than Portland, there's a strong northerly gradient that can kick in and deliver.
I'll check back in a bit

Nice Tucker, that's not only a huge kiteloop its just huge!
How fast are you coming in on those? full jump speed or half speed. I usually do most my loops at half speed because I am a wuss.

This looks good. Not a guarantee, but chances are very good! I'm heading out.
Takashima doesn't believe me. If its windy, he's buying me lunch!

Amery, don't leave yet.....Give it another hour bro....
Those east winds look like they are picking up....The battle between North and East is starting to shape up.....
Yes amigo, the pressure and temps at the coast look good but that east wind can sometimes Fu** things up....
For the love of god...wait about 1 hour....Aaayyy dios - este muchacho is mui bruto....Pon atension....!
