Looks like not soo much wind and rain in the gorge this weekend.

Hopefully taking the unicorn winch out to the airport on Saturday around 10. Rails, kicker, the whole nine yards. Looking to see who can commit to come out and help set stuff up and rally. I need to jet by 2 but can leave my trailer to take the kicker home.

Edit: ok, so I had a cool utube link to the white unicorn song which rocks, but "embedding was disabled upon request" which is about as gay as it gets. So now you get the story of planet unicron.. Crying or Very sad

Damn dude!
What's the water temp?
Maybe use the "holiday" to warm yourself up afterwards Cool

Sounds like a good day for the wakeskate, don't want to take off the booties.
Not so much a lets go splashing into the water off the kicker day.

I guess they've cleaned up the beach pretty well though.

My mommy won't let me play with you anymore.
She thinks your a bad influence on me.
I insisted it was the other way around--
but then she pointed out your avatar.

I told her she shouldn't be reading that
stuff--it's not for grown ups. Wink

Now she reads EVERYTHING. Thanks.

tell her that Stringer will be your shaparone.

Stringer, you down? I'll bring the wakeskate but I am excited to try and pass off the kicker.

Looking at the forecast, how does Friday afternoon sound?
60 degrees sounds much better than 48.

Water is 39.74 degrees below the Bonneville Dam.

Brrrrrrr, that's why warmer air sounds like more fun.

Doesn't seem too bad after watching this:

All you guys are just a bunch of pan-zzies....!!!
Chanson, mixwell and myself were out at the airport yesterday

The wind was light but we were all able to stay upwind just fine.
We were on 13 and 10m....
I still had my 4/3 suit, booties and gloves.
The water don't lie...Shit was cold as fu@*....
But it was great to be out and riding.

Well, yall better come out and represent. I've got some core wakeboard people coming out to give the winch a chance. Word on the street is that one of the girls is a super hard core rider..like toying with going pro, and she has been driving to Eugene to winch!!

Jake, give me a call this evening as I would like to maybe do the kicker mods we talked about... thinking probably an hour is needed. I talked with Gene (the original homeland russian, not the smooth faced import) about using 2" ABS pipe pushed into the sand and hoseclamped to the uprights of the kicker to "mount" it in the water. Think of like just installing the ramp on stilts. I think it would make things ALLOT more stable.
