So the unicorn winch gang are meeting tonight to finish up the rails and kicker. I thought it would be cool to have a session for all those that kick down funds to the project and really helped make it happen. It really couldn't have happened without your support.

Thinking saturday at the airport as its not supposed to be raining.

Thanks again to all those that helped:

FoRRest (foRRest)
Jon Gillman (Gman)
Brett Edlin (tiny E)
Michael Kirnak (ooops. that older guy who never seems to work..oh yeah NAK)
Phill (pkh)
Collin Jacobs (guido)
Drew Burchette (drewb)
Jackie Augusta (JAX the lurker)
Hal Bodman (Hal)
Jim Stringfellow (stringfellw)
Jane Sebastian (kitebroad)
Collin Campbell (vancougar)

There is one other person who sent me a check directly, don't have your info on me but we didn't forget you!!


Thanks a Bunch Guys !!!

geeeez, gues I should have connect the dots on the michael Nak thing. Embarassed


Big shout out to Mike and Hal for the use of the chop saw and welder. It would be hard to work with steel without both of those things.

Wait until you guys see the candy mountain kicker!!!
SCHWEEEEEEEEEET!!!

No too much under the radar though. You did manage to see the shout out for saturday. Its the final stretch to get the last slider done. Looking at about 2-3 hours worth of work.

barring death or dismemberment we should be good to go. Wife has yoga in the morning so I am shooting fo being there at 12:00.

Super easy to get to. The airport beach is just west of where NE 33rd dead ends into airport way. Take a left. Go about 1/4 mile, you will see a public boat launch and big parking lot. (that is where we sk8 kite). There is a small public parking area immediately east of the parking lot (it fits like 10 cars and accesses a riverside trail).

i think the best way for you to get there would be 205 south to the columbia river exit, head west, hang a right on 33rd, heading north. (you will wee an overpass on 33rd street).

Hope to see some peeps out!!!

I'm going to scare up some wakeboard people.
