I wouldn't be caught without mine. andy Mark Since 20 Jun 2005 3678 Posts I need my fix because I'm a Naishaholic Sat Mar 14, 09 2:16 pm     Agreed. GoJoe has brought alot of joy to my life. _________________ Cleverly disguised as an adult... www.naishkites.com forrest Since 21 Jun 2005 4330 Posts Hood River Hick CGKA Member Sat Mar 14, 09 2:48 pm     Alright, before everyone starts making fun of the GoJoe, you have to ask yourself if looking cool is better than loosing your board... DO NOT USE A REEL LEASH or a lease of any kind. pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Sat Mar 14, 09 3:25 pm     What the others have said. because of the current in the gorge, pretty much everyone in the gorge has a go joe. You can get them anywhere. I think Blake at Gorge P was super excited about the new color scheme. bustingbladder Since 12 Jul 2006 387 Posts Seattle Obsessed Sat Mar 14, 09 4:09 pm     All my boards have one..

Also no reel leash, I use one of those bungee style ones that gets me my board back QUICK. TWIN-FIN Since 24 May 2006 805 Posts Portland, OR Hot Monkey Sat Mar 14, 09 6:17 pm     If you get a bungee style leash make sure it’s at least 9ft long so it won’t bitch slap you as hard when you totally eat shit! I recommend a helmet and impact vest as a complementary safety gear. I gota say, I do love my GoJoe DrewB Since 16 Aug 2006 385 Posts PDX Obsessed Sat Mar 14, 09 6:27 pm     I am switching from a green GoJoe to an orange GoJoe this year. I'll give it up next year. Maybe. registered Since 12 Jul 2005 1319 Posts tsunami Sandbagger Sat Mar 14, 09 9:15 pm     a go joe and a good reel leash (Modified or not) is pretty much essential gear for riding in the big swell on the coast west. I have even heard of fists flying when some wanker show up without one and threatens the safety of a launch. oh and one thing you forgot ... floatation devices.... someone really needs to put together a beginners tool kit.... and florence has no A frenchy... looks by locations listed on your info that you own this state and are well traveled as a kiter I am sure you've seen these essentials tons. I really can't believe there are not more custom options for the go joes yet... dancingwind Since 18 Jul 2007 321 Posts Obsessed Sun Mar 15, 09 12:49 am     Pretty cool toy and seems to be functional, too!! Anything that plays a part in saving a $600 board is very very cool!! almost lost mine last summer at Manzi. Took me a good hour to retrieve it as the wind was dying and the swell was still big. Bought a GoJo but haven't used it yet! I'll give it a try this season at the coast. _________________ SAY WHAT YOU MEAN, MEAN WHAT YOU SAY Last edited by dancingwind on Sun Mar 15, 09 9:32 am; edited 1 time in total FlyDunes Since 09 Oct 2007 1034 Posts Aloha XTreme Poster Sun Mar 15, 09 8:27 am     In an emergency situation, the GoJoe can also be used as a strapless internal flotation device. Simply insert and inflate! Your friends will be amazed by your mysterious buoyancy. Be sure to attach a safety leash to your GoJoe prior to insertion for easy removal... _________________ Lets FLY Moto Since 03 Sep 2006 2698 Posts Still a gojo pimp!
