Saturday at Arlington, the swell was full-on-crushing. Those strapless and super smooth starboard railgrabs are burned into my brain. Spencer and I couldn't get enough. Nicely done. _________________ revitalized by muthu-nachu Sasquatch Since 09 Mar 2005 2102 Posts PNW Bigfoot Mon Apr 15, 13 10:20 am     I speculated that it was going to honk out there--hell, the 3 mile forecast was for hazardous dust storms, 34-gusts to 46m. I bet all the small kite snobs were out killing it with the strong winds and (maybe) stronger water flow through the system. Beautiful out there right now with the canyons greening up. Nice score.

I've got a 5'3" Pit which I'm confident is too small for me to ride strapless in those conditions (6', 190 ib.), but my next board sizes-up are a 6' trifin Slingshot proto and 6'2" Verve2 for strapless. I'd like to get a strapless high wind/big swell board. Recommendations? Thanks. _________________ revitalized by muthu-nachu        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
