The water? Or BOTH? Reaper356 Since 10 Dec 2006 781 Posts Salem / LC Oregon Opinionated Thu Feb 28, 08 9:10 pm     Come on now, that day was awesome! Smooth wind out of the south west & even blue sky for a while - hard to beat for Jan 1st or 2nd! The Ridge can deliver if you can get by the water quality.

It was definitely blowing! pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Fri Feb 29, 08 6:01 pm     I'm sure he'll post after he washes the human and animal feces out of his gear. Can you imagine what his wetsuit smells like right now? DAMN!! stringer Since 31 Jul 2007 694 Posts Chucktown Flying Tomato Fri Feb 29, 08 6:44 pm     MB, I think you're giving the non-ditch smell of spike's wetsuit too much credit. If anything the ditch probably freshened it up a bit. Post up Spike!! Reaper356 Since 10 Dec 2006 781 Posts Salem / LC Oregon Opinionated Fri Feb 29, 08 9:01 pm     Maybe the Fern Ridge Lake Monster got him??  Oh Damn!  FernMonster.JPG  Spike Since 13 May 2007 1414 Posts Alameda Spelling Expert Fri Feb 29, 08 10:58 pm     wind was a bit too westerly to work well for the launch location, but it was blowing good out on the water. The 16m was good for the launch, but out on the water I should have had a 7 or 9m. I was way overpowered, kinda scary actually. Did make for big lofty jumps though mantisman was out there as well on his Turbo Diesel 1. Pretty hardcore session, not sure how mantisman held up, I had to call it a day before he got on the water... All in all it was good to be kiteboarding again, could have picked a better launch location I suppose, maybe on the NE end of the lake rather than NW...
