 Wed Sep 19, 12 10:02 pm F-One Demo Tour making a stop in the NW |
 |
|
The weekend of Sept. 28th-Oct 1st the F-One Demo Tour will be hitting the Northwest. Locations will be dependent on Mother Nature of course. We will have the new Bandit 6, Surf series boards, Twin Tips, and SUP's to check out. As well as some Underwave harnesses, wetsuits, and accessories. Stay tuned for details regarding where we'll be with the goods. We're hoping for some coastal and Hood River action but we're up for whatever the wind Gods give us.
Hosted by F-One and Air Pirates Kiteboarding.

| Will Bill be the lucky charm? Jones sounds great if the forecast holds. We will have SUP's, so if we plan a calm water SUP event then maybe we'll get wind?

True! I actually think it would be more fun to demo on the coast - like at Manzo so that I could check out some of the surfboards in the surf. Jones is probably the easiest place to set up a large demo though. Event site wouldn't be to bad for setup now that the crowds are gone and the parking is free..................

Due to Manufacturing and the unreliable delivery system that is overseas cargo container shipping we are very sad to say that the F-One Demo scheduled for this weekend of the Sept. 28th has been postponed until next Fri thru Sunday. New Demo dates are Friday Oct 5th, Sat 6th and Sunday 7th.
We are very sorry for this delay and really bummed we are not getting to play with new gear with the west winds looking decent this weekend. I really hated getting the news that the container that was suppose to arrive today with all the twin tips and all sizes of Bandit 6 has been delayed until next Tuesday.
If we tried to hold the demo this weekend with the gear available we would only have a few surf boards a few kite sizes. No twins tips and rest of surf line up.
We would rather have a demo with a full line of kites with plenty of them for everyone to try out as well as the full twin tip and surf board line up. This will be a huge demo once we get everything. It will be the best chance EVER to try all that F-One gear period!!
So again sorry for the postponement but we will make it happen next weekend. Lets just hope we have wind and not rain 
Thanks
Nate

For friday we are debating ft stevens ocean side or ponds.
For Saturday I'm looking at the possibility of Blackberry new launch but want to make sure its okay first. But Rooster rock is a backup.
Who is interested in some side off shore ocean wind and trying the new surfboards tommorrow?

Yeah I meant to say today for Manzo, but looking east to NE, so not so good so far today.
Best wind in the morning at the jetty for what kind of wind? Not N to NW. I agree with East winds, but then your talking ponds. I don't think this particular rule will apply for the next few days, however. Good luck with your demos. I think you'll get a better demo crowd if you go to Rooster and if Rooster is too strong, then park at Corbett exit and head down wind from there. This time of year there is lots of beach and shallows--just a suggestion.

Yeah Gorge will have best wind and best crowd.
Plan is:
Be at Stevenson Fri around NOON TIL DARK.
SATURDAY: F-One Hits the new Blackberry Launch with demo gear from 10am-3pm.
Thats it for Demo on Saturday but we are personally sticking around to enjoy the CGKA celebrate the new blackberry launch BBQ for some food and Beers. Remember to show your support to the CGKA and sign up while your there for bringing everyone a new launch.
SUNDAY: Is still up in the air. We hope to hit Double Bluff in Seattle but not sure of wind conditions yet. Any forcasters want to pitch in for Sunday forcast please let me know. If Seattle doesn't happen we will look toward Ft stevens or the Gorge again.
Thanks everyone and we hope to see you out and showing your support for both the F-One tour for making the first stop EVER in the gorge and CGKA for all the hard work they do for the community. Come all 3 days if you like 
Cheers
Nate
