Pretty much says it all... When the weather gets good and the north wind kicks in, the Puget Sound has some of the best conditions around... with fan like steady winds.

Jetty Island is the bomb if you can make a day of it, with shallow warmer water, and a nice sandy mellow beach to boot. Becareful though, rumor has it that all the locals are much too nice, and might actually give us kiters a good name if they aren't careful.

Have fun, stop by and visit Robin at Urban Surf, and say hello to the NW-Crue from Bam Bam!

Bam thanks for the help!

If anyone is interested, I have access to a private beach between Golden Gardens and Richmond beach. I think low tide would be best as the beach becomes quite big. I will be there Sat and Sun this weekend.

Mark,

A great public beach that is also right in that area is Carkeek!

Any takers to come kite with me? I do have access to a private beach. Dead low tide is around 6pm. Should give us good riding.
Of course this is subject to the wind gods.

Can't make it today but thanks for the invite, hurt my ankle kiting on mon... Will take you up on the offer next time. Carkeek might go but you probably would be better off going up to jetty island. The ferry runs until 5:30 i think and you can always get a ride back w/ other kiters.
