Tide wasn't an issue yesterday. I think there's still enuf flow that the tide switch isn't a deal breaker like it can be later in the summer. Plus it's supposed to cool down tmrw. SI likes it hot. _________________ Lets FLY Kataku2k3 Since 14 Aug 2005 3754 Posts PDX-LA Videographer Tue Apr 21, 09 11:08 am     Yeah, but regardless, the tide was right for you yesterday. Just saying, it's better to have flowing out. Maybe not a deal breaker? If any of you get there before 3:00, toss a stick in and see what it does, please! eli_anderson Since 04 Jun 2007 507 Posts Addicted Tue Apr 21, 09 11:49 am     I'm thinking of getting out of this seat I've been stuck in all day, and getting out there soon. Flydunes has me kicking myself for 'not going'.

Dropped boards were heading for Astoria all day yesterday. And according to the Knapp Landing tide charts (closest I can find to SI), the tide went bad at 2:55pm yesterday so we were kiting in the wrong tide all day. Here's the tide chart I use: http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/get_predictions.shtml?year=2008&stn=1038+Astoria&secstn=Knapp+Landing,+Wash.&thh=%2B4&thm=26&tlh=%2B6&tlm=28&hh=*0.0&hl=*0.0&footnote=wc5 _________________ Lets FLY Kataku2k3 Since 14 Aug 2005 3754 Posts PDX-LA Videographer Tue Apr 21, 09 12:01 pm     But that tide chart is from 2008... Here's what I'm using. http://www2.findu.com/cgi-bin/tide.cgi?tide=2625 Follows my iKitesurf tide chart with ~4 hour delay. Not trying to argue. It's just from all of my experience there, the tide always seems to make a difference unless you're lit. pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Tue Apr 21, 09 12:12 pm     4 north at the freemont!! Its so on guys!!!! FlyDunes Since 09 Oct 2007 1034 Posts Aloha XTreme Poster Tue Apr 21, 09 12:18 pm     Adam - That's a good point! I forgot to update my bookmarks and didn't notice the damn YEAR that was listed. The 2009 NOAA chart at Knapp Landing says that we WERE kiting in good tides yesterday. But we will be today too. High tide is at 4pm today. "FindU Tides" for Knapp Landing agrees. _________________ Lets FLY Gman Since 11 Feb 2006 4911 Posts Portland Unstrapped Tue Apr 21, 09 1:00 pm     the current was cranking so hard at 6 yesterday - you didn't need any wind at all would think spring runoff trumps tides _________________ Go Deep! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eu2pBpQolKE pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Tue Apr 21, 09 1:04 pm     hopefully some wonderful human being will post an onsite report. i know drewB is heading out soon. jones exploded around 1 so that always bodes well. Kataku2k3 Since 14 Aug 2005 3754 Posts PDX-LA Videographer Tue Apr 21, 09 1:19 pm    Perhaps! I'll try to post up around 4:30 assuming we still make it out...

Gonna be there around 4 OK, but you probably won't get to shoot as much bull and drink as much beer as we will. _________________ Lets FLY FlyDunes Since 09 Oct 2007 1034 Posts Aloha XTreme Poster Tue Apr 21, 09 2:11 pm     Hmmm. The Fremont actuals are still looking good, but the gradients are starting to fall apart... _________________ Lets FLY funkysub Since 14 Jul 2005 56 Posts   Tue Apr 21, 09 2:49 pm     Pressure Astoria to PDX looks good to me: http://windonthewater.com/xx-graph-pressure.php?site1=KAST&site2=KPDX&date=2009.04.21&offset=-25200        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
