 Sat Aug 04, 12 5:26 pm Any Kiters around Coeur d'alene/Spokane? |

Been awhile since I've been on here. Was just wondering if there are any active Kiters around my area nowadays? I'd love to make some new Local kite buddies!

| Theres still a few, winter is typically better and more active IMO. Summer is a little sporadic and not very dependable or predictable, a little more time spent chasing and hoping than I care for. |

That is Eastern WA. summer kiting at it's best. Within 2 1/2 hours SW of Spokane there are whitecaps almost daily and nice camp spots so I realized years ago it was best to just spend your "search" time driving towards the Gorge. |

Anyone know of any good open locations for snow kiting in Eastern WA? I only know of HR area and Camas Prairie, Idaho. I heard it is done local to where I am, though, I haven't seen anyone out...ever... |

| I am down in Lewiston ID. I have been playing with a FB 5meter kite and a Mountain board. For a couple of months. Looking into my first depower for this winter. I think there is endless posability for snowkitting. Some pretty high open country by Deary/Bovil. Also up by Grangville ID. So many places I want to try this winter. I would like to find some other people to kite with. I seem to be the only one in Lewiston. I also fly stunt kites. Revs and 2 stringers. Any one know of a good place to landboard around Moscow/Pulman. My field is pretty small here. Anyway if any wants to get together or talk about spots message me and I will give number. I thought about a craigslist ad to try to get a group together. |

Welcome!
I usually hit up a few local places in Moscow, one of the fields of the UI campus (by Guy Wicks Field) is fairly large, but the hill on a SW/W wind can have some wind shadow...but works a majority of the time. Deary/Bovill area is pretty wooded isn't it? Maybe I haven't gone off from the main road that much. I haven't been down to Grangeville.... been Google Map scoping the area frequently though and watching the wind sensors. Also, I found some old threads on farmers and snowkiting and not very akin to damaging crops and such  Shoot me a message and we can swap emails. |

| I was in Sandpoint over Memorial Day weekend and some kiters were out launching from the city beach. They had drove up from HR tracking a wind storm. They say they get about 6 days in Sandpoint, usually spring and fall. Sounds like Great Lake type wind. |

How sketchy of a launch is that? I've considered heading up that way to check out the lake on a windy day. |
