I am going to foil Nehalem bay which is averaging around 20. Viento or the airport would probably be a lot better than rooster!

Not me - but swung down to take some pics of the EPIC WIND and who was there to answer the CALL OF THE ROOSTER...THIS GUY

Mark was the only human - charging on his 1.7m sail & Gorge Animal glass board - happy to report he did return to shore mostly harmless.

Trees down in the yard and lost a side view mirror to a freak gust...BIG WINDS in our little gorge...

Maybe we need to host a Frozen Hawaii BAKL event here would love to see those kids flying by my house level with the deck - lol

Reminds me of an old WS movie called "Hard Winds A Blowin"

The crew braves a big East Nuker.

And how is it we're in an Air Stagnation Advisory when RR is gusting 90?

C'mon only 855 Views in all these years?

Consider it a history assignment - see if you can spot Dale Cook & Maui Meyer
and extra points for the WIND WEAPON sequence for you WINGERS Smile

Heck - a few of those guys are still on my hockey team...

Great Flick'

Classic! That was Mike Kitts (of Mike's Ice Cream). Rod Parmenter film. Main reason I moved west!

Edit: I think the scene at Rooster when Mike's sailing in ~70 MPH easterlies may have been in a different Rod Parmenter film? I'll have to check my collection (digitized them all years ago).
