Fri Aug 01, 08 5:35 pm Oregon Coast Aug 2 - 4? |

any experts who kite on the coast want to help a rookie out? What are the chances for wind in the Newport area? Thinking of going but would like a locals perspective before making the trek.
What size kite is normal for this time of year with a 150 lb guy on a surf board?
Thanks |

Forecast looks really good for N at Fart Stevens!
Take all your kites and a big board. My hunch is that it's going to be 11meter and a surfboard for me. I'm a light 220lbs.
Look for a big group of people flying waroo kites! _________________ Hey, I'm being hahahahahrassed! |
