 Wed May 11, 05 8:07 pm Would have kept going, but who would catch my kite? |

Hey folks... Stevenson was still blowing at 6:30 but I had to pack up because the last folks (Jason and John) were leaving! Now I know you all got plenty in early today, but didn't anyone have to work like me? 
Good to see so many of y'all out there enjoying the grey skies, heavy chop, and marginal wind. I hear Slither even had a close encounter with his favorite kiteboarder!

Hell yeah, hit up the SB early and then once it popped up above 25 packed up and went to Stevenson. Awesome day! I was surprised with the heavy wind at the bar there weren't more at stevenson...oh well, more limited launch space for the rest of us.
I woulda waited for ya @ stevenson Phil, but I had to bounce and get a run in before dark. Good day though...looked like you were still pretty comfortable on the 13 even when the wind started to get kinda fluky. |

Bulldozers, graders, high water, and high wind were all part of the scene at the sandbar yesterday. A few of us hoofed-it from the road as the parking lot is still closed. It was well worth it with killer swell near the rr bridge and solid 8.0 conditions. Pierce was out on a 5.5.
I had a sketchy self-launch with a new kite on the sheltered inside part of the sandspit, but other than that it was one to remember.

Well good to hear that even a few bulldozers couldn't keep people off the SB... I would have gone down there but I just didn't feel like a 7m day.
I heard the SB had some good sun... no such luck at Stevenson. You could see where the blue sky started maybe 2 miles downwind, I kept hoping it was going to creep upwind, but no luck.
Oh well it was fun...
Nate, looks like you got a new kite? |

That's what the cove is for. Sounds to me like you really weren't that stoked to be ridding with so so wind, no sun and cold weather. No, wait that was why I left early.

Could have tried the cove but it has those big kite spearing pylons.
Hey, today was much better. The sun was out, and wind a bit more suitable for 12-13m kites. |

I guess the real question is: Why cant' I land my kite myself  And why can't I stand to kite alone  The answer lies within |
