I have checked and can't make up my mind. I leave for Mexico tomorrow @ 7 AM and I can either spend the last night kicking it with my GF or out on the water with my buddies. I don't want to rock the boat if the wind is going to blow. Or I guess that would mean i would be worth rocking the boat if the wind blows. Either way I am confused. pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Thu Jul 17, 08 10:23 am     After yesterday's session at Stevenson, everything else is going to be a let down. I would advise you to satisfy your GF so she won't be calling me when your out of town. hamlindp Since 09 Feb 2007 358 Posts I aint no lawnmowin' pump kite parker, I'm that dadgum Channel Marker Thu Jul 17, 08 12:30 pm     No, and by SI I mean Seattle _________________ (>====<|>---< Joshiebaby Since 14 Oct 2007 569 Posts Vancouver, WA Addicted Thu Jul 17, 08 12:34 pm     hamlindp wrote: No, and by SI I mean Seattle WTF mate?

She put out for like 8 days straight and now she ramps up throughout the day like she's going to give it to us - and then . . . nothing!!

Spike Since 13 May 2007 1414 Posts Alameda Spelling Expert Thu Jul 17, 08 1:18 pm     hmmm.... I'm very tempted to go check it out. Theres a bit of a breeze outside, nothing less than on other days where it correlated to great wind at Reeder Beach. Spike Since 13 May 2007 1414 Posts Alameda Spelling Expert Thu Jul 17, 08 1:26 pm     In case you are curious, I looked up where the SI weather station that www.windonthewater.com uses is located: http://www.deq.state.or.us/lab/aqm/stations/sis14152.htm http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=122.7721W+45.7685N&mrt=all&ie=UTF8&ll=45.769237,-122.77145&spn=0.002556,0.005005&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=45.768399,-122.77068&panoid=8hiiwLMXJuaur68dnE84Cw&cbp=1,312.34183959332983,,0,-0.07079727381990885 If anybody has a hand-held anemometer we could figure out the difference between what it reports and what the wind up at the kite beach actually is. With enough data we could apply a correction factor to the wind readout at www.windonthewater.com broadbandito Since 26 Apr 2005 342 Posts CSO headwaters WheatHead Thu Jul 17, 08 1:41 pm     Hmm, I use the Fremont flags as an indicator of NW flow, and it is looking wimpy right now. The flags are flopping but there's no enthusiasm. I wouldn't bet on good wind yet. Tell the GF it's Business Time! Joshiebaby Since 14 Oct 2007 569 Posts Vancouver, WA Addicted Thu Jul 17, 08 2:10 pm     Boo. Hiss. Poo. Spike Since 13 May 2007 1414 Posts Alameda Spelling Expert Thu Jul 17, 08 2:45 pm     Sailflow and usairnet both indicate some wind and looking outside it looks like there is some up on the island. I'm convinced enough to head out there in half an hour, see ya there. broadbandito Since 26 Apr 2005 342 Posts CSO headwaters WheatHead Thu Jul 17, 08 3:10 pm     Slice and dice my last post--Fremont flags are starting to show some pride! kyle.vh Since 11 Jul 2007 713 Posts city of angels Addicted Thu Jul 17, 08 8:20 pm     i think spike and Gman had a decent session there today. surprised there weren't more people. i was there body dragging/teaching. FlyDunes Since 09 Oct 2007 1034 Posts Aloha XTreme Poster Thu Jul 17, 08 8:21 pm     Blah! We got there about 6pm and there were caps all over, but the current was so strong going UP river that even Kelton at 130 lbs was underpowered on an 11m, and even Drew couldn't stay up wind on a 12m and his plank. Really strange conditions. _________________ Lets FLY kyle.vh Since 11 Jul 2007 713 Posts city of angels Addicted Thu Jul 17, 08 8:26 pm     are you saying that the current was going east? or just west, but weakly? yeah it did seem windy (white caps) but looked hard to stay wind... tonylong Since 30 Jun 2008 74 Posts Vancouver, WA   Thu Jul 17, 08 10:41 pm     Don't feel so bad -- Stevenson was wierd today as well. _________________ Tony Long Tony Long Photos on PBase        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
