While at work Tuesday I made the mistake of checking the Rufus wind graph and had visions of humongous rollers. Anybody care to file a report?

It was good and I am sore. _________________ Pure Stoke Sports Hood River, OR http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hood-River-OR/2nd-Wind-Sports/35891485558?ref=mf www.Purestokesports.com kochease Since 03 Jul 2008 760 Posts In Ft.

ANY N in it causes devil gustola from Hell. Dam spill needs to be 260 kfs or less OG Since 07 Jun 2011 599 Posts Addicted Thu Jun 13, 13 8:27 am     kochease wrote: Hows rufus work?

Rufus is such a fun spot and always sunny. The north wind does make it a wicked bitch but when it's good....it's park and ride if ya know what I mean. Windance demo days/BBQ coming up on the 22/23rd would be fun to justify the drive.

Just curious cuz I was there yesterday and expected bigger swell. But it was still an amazing day- Rufus rocks! kochease Since 03 Jul 2008 760 Posts In Ft. Stevens, OR Opinionated Fri Jun 14, 13 9:01 am     demo days sounds like a fun time to drive out there. But with how busy my kite school is I work everyday its windy so finding time to get to rufus has kept me away. Time for a vacation.... Hopefully I can swing it and make it out there end of month. _________________ *AIR PIRATES KITEBOARDING* F-One, Ocean Rodeo, Litewave, Liquid Force KITEBOARD LESSONS https://www.air-pirate.com *CALL: 503-791-7372 * blancoh2o Since 15 Mar 2005 1154 Posts Oregon Phishy Fri Jun 14, 13 9:12 am     I was out there on Tuesday as well. I was way overpowered on a 7m so my session was ultra short. Rufus is an amazing place and riding the swell there is so much fun. When you are reading the wind at Maryhill, keep in mind that there is a good amount of current so you usually need one size smaller kite at Rufus than you normally ride that wind speed. _________________ KB4C!!!!!!!!!!!! https://kb4c.rallyup.com/kb4c/286ef9/Member SpaceRacer Since 04 Nov 2007 434 Posts Obsessed Fri Jun 14, 13 9:22 am     Eric, if Dam spill needs to be 260 or less, is there a way to find out this data in advance? I don't think so. Sasquatch Since 09 Mar 2005 2102 Posts PNW Bigfoot Fri Jun 14, 13 10:47 am    Per your request caps wrote: Where do you find the dam spill data?

Wind direction most important aspect to watch. For the most part I think we are past the high flow period.        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   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
