Congratulations on a very well run event. Great job by Twin-Fin and all the other volunteers. Especially the guys on the jet skis, freezing their asses off for a couple hours. I had a total blast.

Congratulations to Corey for the win, in I believe a new record time of 44 min.

Pretty fun to see everybody starting. Never seen that many kites at Stevenson before.

Absolutely, freakin awesome!! My best session of the summer!!!

Thanks for all the hardwork and excellent beach support.

Especially a big thanks to all the volunteers that got us all on the water super quick and ran sweep up and down the river on the jet skis. (rumor has it that one of the jet skiers even enjoyed some swell rides on the ski Rolling Eyes. his new forum NWjetski.com will be going live very soon Thumb's Up )

Cheers to Corey for setting the benchmark even higher with the badassed 44min run!

Pat/Splaterwin - great job on the ski man running rear clean up. I grabbed a couple kiters around Viento and one board.

There was some carnage for sure but glad everyone made it back safely! Very Happy

Cheers!

p.s. posting times now...

Twin Fin, Steve and the other workers; you did a great job. Nancy and I were at Viento. Nancy counted 89 kites going past Viento. It was a beautiful view with 90+ kites moving along the water, a great splash of color
Corey came through Vieto first and it looked like he was flying. Several minutes went by before the next racer. Jimbo was in the first ten but must have caught the rest of the kiters to finish second.
Four racers came in at Viento, two kite inversions, one broken line and somebody else. We filled the Suburban and went to the event site.
It was a beautiful day, great wind, maybe I'll race next year.
