Thanks "Mr. Foil" for saving my board yesterday at Sauvies. My lines were so twisted when the chop came in that I had to let it go and concentrate on not powering up.
I'm trying to find you on the forum, but can't find your user name! |

Define some wind? From 3 to 5 I took a nap under my kite. After 5 I put it up in the air and mowed the lawn for a couple tacks before I gave up because I couldn't get enough power to even do a railey. Left about six. Maybe it actually did something after that.
The aviation forecast for wind today is about the same as it was yesterday so I'm guessing just enough to mow the lawn again.

Before around 7:30ish it blew, and then it actually BLEW for real for about an hour after that.  |

Agree. It came up GREAT about 7pm or so, and was still blowing when I left.

I had to do downwinders after every couple of tacks. The tide was crap, but the wind was in the upper teens and you couldn't tell what the tide was doing. BIG swell pretty quick too.
You popped what, about 6:45?

| Big swell is right. That's how I lost the board. Couldn't even see it once I had to cut it loose. |
