Great weekend for sure - despite my
magical flying tent. Sad

. Glad to hear the coast worked out. I came home and took a 3 hour nap with Jonah. Four hours of body bashing tool its toll on this monkey.

Happy bdays again and kudos to dig and blue for the brews.

No doubt it was a great weekend. Nothing beats sharing great flat water, great beer, and great waves with great friends! Idea

Hey All ,
Good to see your photos and good to hear it was a hoot .
I'm jonesing for Jones .
Here in Alberta I was out on my 11.5 kahoona and with the sticking depower strap when the gusts hit 35 mph I was yanked out of my board and , well you get the picture .
I moved up the shoreline of the lake to a provincial park with a deserted beach ( due to the wind ) and rigged my nine . Well lucky me I hit a dead spot in 30 mph ( gusty ) winds , the kite hit the water inverted and relaunched . I flew it this way ( dragging as not enough power to ride ) to get closer to shore and then the wind died ( due to the trees on shore ) and it was in the water . That was my sunday and it tired me out but not the right way !
Missing Oregon !
Take care all .

Nice guys! Way to score it! Did you camp on the Isle of Butter or in the Ashtray?

Glad Jones served it up for you guys! Very Happy

Sorry I missed it. Camping with the kids took priority though, don't get to see them too often.

It was an awesome day, good wind, and great company! My entire family enjoyed the day and kids were ecstatic about camping. No doubt they’ll force me to repeat the experience Smile

Can’t wait to get home and look at the pictures.

We stayed in the ash tray to minimize shuttling stuff around.
