Great job by Twin-Fin and all the other volunteers. Especially the guys on the jet skis, freezing their asses off for a couple hours. I had a total blast. Congratulations to Corey for the win, in I believe a new record time of 44 min. Kataku2k3 Since 14 Aug 2005 3754 Posts PDX-LA Videographer Sat Aug 02, 08 5:00 pm     WORD! Even though we didn't ride with everyone, it was still fun. 2 hour post sess. at Stevenson and we're all dead! Good job, guys! Spike Since 13 May 2007 1414 Posts Alameda Spelling Expert Sat Aug 02, 08 6:42 pm     There were a lot of kites! I remember seeing a shirt with #106 on it Pretty fun to see everybody starting. Never seen that many kites at Stevenson before. Yardsale Since 29 Mar 2005 387 Posts Portlanastan Obsessed Sat Aug 02, 08 6:43 pm     Here's your prize Jeff.....Great Job!!!    gak.jpg  J.P.

My best session of the summer!!! Thanks for all the hardwork and excellent beach support. Especially a big thanks to all the volunteers that got us all on the water super quick and ran sweep up and down the river on the jet skis. (rumor has it that one of the jet skiers even enjoyed some swell rides on the ski . his new forum NWjetski.com will be going live very soon ) Cheers to Corey for setting the benchmark even higher with the badassed 44min run!

Like Gman said, there is no cooler site then a huge flotilla of like 60 kites heading away from Stevenson. kiterron66 Since 18 Jun 2007 13 Posts spi New Member Sun Aug 03, 08 9:04 am     Twin Fin, Steve and the other workers; you did a great job. Nancy and I were at Viento. Nancy counted 89 kites going past Viento. It was a beautiful view with 90+ kites moving along the water, a great splash of color Corey came through Vieto first and it looked like he was flying. Several minutes went by before the next racer. Jimbo was in the first ten but must have caught the rest of the kiters to finish second. Four racers came in at Viento, two kite inversions, one broken line and somebody else. We filled the Suburban and went to the event site. It was a beautiful day, great wind, maybe I'll race next year. Ron and Nancy blancoh2o Since 15 Mar 2005 1154 Posts Oregon Phishy Sun Aug 03, 08 5:25 pm     Thank You Ron for your support. We appreciate you sitting in the sun all day and provided a very important function for our race.
