I got a little discouraged yesterday. As I finished rigging and was running back to the car for my hood, a hail storm hit. The wind jacked up and quickly the beach was covered with puddles of hail. Sasquatch and I started to question if we were in the right spot. As soon as the hail stopped, the wind completely died.
Fortunately Barfly was there to assure us that the session opportunities were not done for the day. Soon after, the sun came out and a kind 20M breeze kicked in for the rest of the afternoon.
The huge swell made for some fun terrain on the inside and the channel was like being on the Deschuttes. It was magic!

wind slither, you are my hero. Who am I? When you meet me, you will know because I will shower you with beer if you allow me to kite with you.

Did you see somebody down at the spit Ian? I went down to Swell City to check if I could remember where the river was- been so long.
Got a new 6 mil wetsuit- though not liking the snow falling outside now.

Might be tough for Slither to discriminate between #1 & warm Rain Doggers…

Not sure why urine had to enter into the conversation. You guys need to get out of the toilet an out on the water! You've got people here trying to share some stoke!
C'mon Onad! I even gave you the courtesy wind-call!
I'm walking away from this thread.

My smooth bottom is sensitive as you can tell, but I was joking too...sorry, gotta remember those smiley emots to take the edge off!
Seriously tho'. Coldness was not that big of factor. (Although I did keep my hood on the whole session which was a first for me). Of course the coast is nothing like the gorge when it comes to brutal coldness.
Props to all the numb limbs out there.
