Martin just got to Jones (it was a fire blocking the hwy and they eventually got thru). He says no other kiters are there yet, and it's blowing 20s to low 30s.

I did finally get through - it took us three hours - which totally sucked. When we got there - there was one other kiter and as soon as we got out it was gusting into the high 20's maybe low 30's. I got out my 7M and started pumping and then the wind lulled and didn't really pick back up again. I got my 7 all pumped and then had to break out my 16M vegas. I rode that for two hours and then the wind finally picked back up again and then I was lit on an 11. Good hour and a half session on my 11. Totally money today. I'll post some pics probably tomorrow.

| Any chance jones could work today? There's a .4 pressure drop from astoria to kelso and I imagine a big temp difference to match. Never actually been there, but if someone tells me there could be wind I'd make the drive.

Yeah Tatiana is totally rocking it!! She gets up on her board just fine, can ride all the way to the other end (even through the swell), she can stay up wind, and now she is working on her turns. It all came together at once - slow progress to begin with but then all of a sudden i see her riding back and forth 
As for the GoJo - dude, I gots me one of those low profile GoJos
