Anybody else ride today...?
So it was Chanson, G man and myself...
We trek'd over to wintler park in Vancouver...
Scoped it out and gave it a shot.
Probably one of the best light wind sessions near PDX...
The wind was crazy light...But with the current being so strong, we were lit...
Not bad for an "after work session - only 5 minute drive (10 min with traffic)...

I think it was Hein who said 90% should be steez. Although, if you had some naked hot chicks with a Hein board you might get less complaints.

Hein's right...I say from here on - it's time to bring in the poser shots...
But Like Rico said, extra points for naked hot chicks.
Now we're talking...

the funny thing is before I posted - I asked myself is this post Hein worthy
the litmus test:
naked chicks
magazine quality photos
pumping surf
boots n rails
exotic locals
maybe not but its the Couve
your experience may vary from Team Uberstoke

Is kiteboarding where you sit on the beach in street clothes next to your kite?
You can take the kiter out of Sauvie; but you can't take the Sauvie out of the kiter.

Difficult standards to attain for sure. I would only like to add, that COLD BEERS has to be added to the litmus for me in order to post pics of my sweet sessions. . .
What was the favor of the day yesterday? WSW winds at 10pmh? If I remember correctly, there is a pretty strong current right there, and it drops off instantly from shore? Still the case over there in Couveghanistan?
Short commute and session. 
Nicely done!

Super strong current, which made a nice rip/swell wave right by some pilings, nice for ollies and soem gaps...
The sensor at PDX was reading 16-23mph when we left...felt more like 13-18mph on WA-side..
High Life was the drug of choice! 
Actually had a nice flat water area just west and a large harbor which made for some nice peanut-butter-jelly-time!
In addition to a mini-sandbar and a short-trip home, this was the spot!
