It would ruin the best swell riding we have. We'd never be allowed to cross the railroad tracks to use it for launching. IMHO - a new sandbar would suck. ericvs Since 05 Jul 2008 133 Posts Stoked Wed Oct 26, 11 12:25 pm     I want to see footage of the water entering the Columbia. Anyone have a camera facing that way at the moment? _________________ http://northwestriders.com/ http://www.slingshotsports.com/slingshot-kite http://www.urbansurf.com/ pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Wed Oct 26, 11 12:46 pm     ldhr wrote: I'm not understanding why people want a new sandbar at the mouth of the WS.

It would create a new flat water area in much better wind than the current sandbar... and if you can't launch there then it should really cut down on the kookage.

Especially the new island across from Kooks Cove. _________________ Pure Stoke Sports Hood River, OR http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hood-River-OR/2nd-Wind-Sports/35891485558?ref=mf www.Purestokesports.com ldhr Since 21 Jul 2009 1489 Posts Hood River XTreme Poster Wed Oct 26, 11 2:54 pm     Just drove down to the mouth. There's nothing to see. jdk Since 21 Dec 2005 333 Posts Obsessed Wed Oct 26, 11 4:21 pm     Is the white salmon runoff from Adams? Maybe we'll get another storm like the one in 07 ... then we get the white salmon sandbar moondog Since 15 Aug 2007 706 Posts white salmon Addicted CGKA Member Wed Oct 26, 11 5:32 pm     I sat at the mouth of the white salmon at the columbia in a boat. It was a non-event. A 1 inch "wall" of water scared some birds and then a big mass of trees, debris and sediment followed. Hard to believe how much water and force dissipated by the time it hit the columbia! _________________ moondog Mark Since 20 Jun 2005 3678 Posts I need my fix because I'm a Naishaholic Wed Oct 26, 11 5:44 pm     Cooler up river. By the time it reached the Columbia it had died.

We watched a helicopter follow the surge down the river. Your photos look like they were taken from the helicopter! _________________ moondog Mark Since 20 Jun 2005 3678 Posts I need my fix because I'm a Naishaholic Fri Oct 28, 11 8:45 am     moondog wrote: Mark, how did you get those photos?
