| So where are you all? Just scoped the river and don't see any kites. I'm in the tallest building downtown Vancouver. |

Drove out to check it out, but the wind had dropped significantly. I think without the current being a factor it would have been no problem riding, but with the current it wasn't enough wind.

Drove over for a look but wind was looking a bit iffy, current was ripping, probably take about 5knots off the wind. Seems to be getting a bit of south in it as well. A guy was having fun with a trainer but I forgot mine.
So no one ever gets hassled here by sheriffs or FAA for kiting so close to the airport? Can it be kited in Southerlies if you leave a car over by Winkler? Would be upstream of the sewage coming out of the willamette |

yeah i think there is a rule/law about how far away from an airport you have to be to fly a kite. Also i heard a guy had his kite destroyed in a flat spin caused by the jet wash from Iceman's Tomcat. We'll miss ya Goose.
