Brad and Airush are heading to Fort Stevens for Waves

Brad wanted me to drop a note to say that he'll be riding South Jetty at Fort Stevens for the weekend.

He's got some of our Airush ONE demo kites and if you catch him, he might be in a sharing mood to let you go for a spin.
If anything, he's looking for people to ride with. Keep an eye out for the white Ford Expedition with the big AIRUSH stickers on it.

Look forward to seeing any pictures that come back too!

Thanks Pepi for posting for me!

Well with I-84 fire (wtf- there was no fire when we drove by ) back up and a Beaverton Waverunner sales transaction, we made the call to hit Manzo instead. Arrived about two hours late but did get a little session on the 12m One, still amazed how it rips up wind. Saw Kramer and crew on the beach and The Quick and Easy Boys played at the Sand Bar. Tmrw might be better down south with all the easterly gradient. If anyone cares hit me up, and I style you out with one of the finnest kites on the beach.

How are those Ones? One strut seems impossible but would like to hear about it.

Waited it out up at lot b Thurs and Fri. Both days produced good 11m wind from about 5pm to 730pm or so. Point sailed. Plenty of steep fast and pretty good sized waves. Offshores were more on Friday, very fun and rare to be so steady with that size of swell.

Kited lot D this morning early and surfed the jetty and down a bit too on the sandbars until 2. Really good times up here last few days.

Well all in all, nice few days on the coast. Although, it was "too nice" at Manzo, sat around (went on a hike up Falcon Pt ) by 2:30 it wasn't coming in even thou Columbia Bar sensor popped to 22mph. Jimbo Bison and I packed it up and headed south to get out of the easterly gradient zone. Roads End was powered 12m on the outside and holey near shore, and the 2-3 ft @16 second interval produced head and half high smooth dump trucks. Back to the Hood to link up Jonny Rotten to tow up to 4000' paraglide wench.

We kited the wreck friday afternoon and saturday.

Friday was all time. wind direction and swell was about as good as oregon gets. lots of excellent down the line riding with 15-20 bottom turn on one wave.

we couldn't get enough.
