That's a dope spot, I wished my kites were in tow so bad when visiting there a couple years back.
Way to get the goods!

Yes, nice shots. You caught it right. It's actually not Forks. Forks isn't even on the water. You're at LaPush, First Beach. I've surfed there for 30 years. We always wanted to tow in on the outer reef. A better spot for kiting is North of there across the Quillayute River at Mora. It catches the NW better. I windsurfed there 15 years ago. There's lots to explore up there. Still beaches where you can be the first to kite surf as we were the first to surf over 40 years ago.

Hey Cap, yup, you caught us. It is pretty close to Forks, however. Good times.

I think Neah bay takes the prize for that point, but we were close.

Wrong-Pat Buchanan!
The most NW point is technically Cape Flattery. Pretty bad a$$ place too!
