Hope you can find it. pauls Since 20 Jun 2005 564 Posts Northern Portugal Addicted Thu Nov 22, 07 2:37 pm     Cottonwood is good if anyone wants to get out. Sneaked about 30 minutes on my 10 before heading home for TG dinner should have rigged the 7. pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Thu Nov 22, 07 2:54 pm     Got something to be thankful for today... Had to talk a Rancher into letting me onto his property, a few gates, cows, and creek hops later.. Happened upon my kite and board nestled nicely behind a few bushes sitting there perfect. A little dirt on the LE but otherwise in perfect shape. It sat there all night in the nuking winds but because of how it landed it just sat... could have just as easily been eviscerated on the nearby trees and shrubs. Happy Thanksgiving!  Its alive!  7m saved.jpg  Last edited by pkh on Thu Nov 22, 07 5:10 pm; edited 1 time in total Rico Since 13 Mar 2005 1219 Posts Vancouver Photographer Thu Nov 22, 07 3:14 pm    Sweet Karma pays back again, the 7m will ride again Happy Thanksgiving!

Could you have ridden further downwind, or did the wind die off just west of the beach? Just trying to figure this spot out... Thanks! pauls Since 20 Jun 2005 564 Posts Northern Portugal Addicted Fri Nov 23, 07 10:09 am     Nak wrote: Was the wind fluky at all?

I walkd upwind a couple of hundred metres to give myself a bit of a downwind buffer and could easily stay upwind. Wind was a lot stronger on the island side of the channel. My kite was too big - 10m but it didn't seem too gusty, it has been really gusty when i've tried there in the past.        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page Previous  1, 2, 3 Page 3 of 3   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
