On a side note Phil, I was wondering if you could also add the links to some of the newer cams on the river. (Rooster cam, Slingy Sandbar Cam, any other cams I can't think of) Check this out I added most of them to the CGKA website http://cgka.net/web-cameras/ Last edited by Bettyboarder on Mon Aug 24, 09 8:42 am; edited 1 time in total Chooch Since 18 Nov 2007 1871 Posts Wicked Pissah Boston Tea Bagger Mon Aug 24, 09 8:37 am     Sick Work Nicole!

I have been out there when the tide has come up to what looks like a good parking spot. Otherwise it looks really good. kochease Since 03 Jul 2008 760 Posts In Ft.

The actual steady state wind on the water is usually equal to--or greater than--than gust factor reading. "It is difficult to go upwind in the outgoing tide." should read "incoming" rather than "outgoing". I have never found tide to be much of an issue if your a competent rider. Sure it does take a bit longer to get upwind with incoming tide but not that difficult unless wind light. But with tide going out it definitly is cake to bomb upwind!

Is there any kite access at Nuke Alley? dan79 Since 22 Aug 2009 20 Posts Longview, WA   Tue Aug 25, 09 7:15 am    Jones beach There is a lot of sand but you can drive on it. Lots of room to spread out. The water seems warm right now but that can change. The paved road going in is bumpy. Just be prepared to get sand in everything.

Is there any kite access at Nuke Alley? There is no kiting launch on the Washington side if thats what you are looking for. You must launch at Jones Beach and ride upwind to Nuke Alley. windobsessed Since 07 Aug 2008 120 Posts Vancouver Stoked Tue Aug 25, 09 9:16 am     Hi Nicole, Here is another web cam Wells Island: http://w3.gorge.net/niknas/webcam.jpg Blue Since 03 Jul 2007 469 Posts I used to be Obsessed Tue Aug 25, 09 7:42 pm     Thanks for your comments windpig and kochease. Phil, looks like this is a wrap. Let me know if you think anything else is needed. pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Tue Aug 25, 09 8:28 pm     Cool, I will put it together... thanks everyone!        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page Previous  1, 2 Page 2 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
