make plans for a trip to the Gorge in Oregon.. just outside of Portland.. during the summer months.. July / Aug..

Nice temps.. amazing..AMAZING wind.. you will be 30 minutes from Portland so there is tons of stuff to do on those days of rest (you will need them).

I did a 10 day trip there last summer and could have rode 9 of the 10 days.. typically on my 9m kite (i weigh 200 lbs).. blowing 20 to 30 each day.

Thing about going to OBX or some places in TX is that you are pretty isolated from any city life. In Hood River you can be downtown in one of the nicest cities in America in less than 1 hour from your launch spot.

If you are the camping type and dont need the nightlife.. then maybe OBX is another great vacation bet..
