| Pretty good day, gusty but I was able to stay upwind on my 7, everyone else was killin it on 9s. Got a call from the bank on the way home... someone stole my wallet out of my truck and treated themselves to two $400 purchases. So that kinda killed the stoke. Luckily USbank covers all fraud.....But now I need some ideas how I am going to convince my wife, to make this look like a legitimate reason to buy a new kite. |

Where did you launch at PDX?? I was on my way to Rooster and was looking over the 205 bridge searching for kites!! I heard about launchable sites around the river but never did put my finger on it. Is it East or West side of the bridge?

| Go West on Marine Drive from the 205 bridge. Look for the first boat launch. It's on the East side of the boat launch. |

That sucks Nick 
The current at the airport was ripping, once you got past the breakwater 1/4 mile out you would loose most of your power due to the strong current in the channel. I was powered on my 9m switching between the skim and the twin tip from about 3:30-5:30, after that it semmed to drop off quite a bit. The best part was the short drive home after the session  |

| That sucks about the wallet! Hope your wife understands about the new kite to replace it. I was super lit on the 9M and it seemed just up wind another 2oo yards smother water and better wind. Next time. By the way sitting down to a drink and happy hour just ten minutes after the session doesn't suck! |
