Agreed Bryan I was surprised at the skill level of kitesurfers. I think overall I like Oregon better but it was nice to do some easy kitiing and not constantly looking over your shoulder for puffs of wind blasting down the river! Saw a few really good female kiters doing kiteloops so that was good to see
I think also would have been fun to do downwinders on the coast side.
But seeing as I grew up in Northeast Vermont alpine skiing with all those crazy canuks I felt right at home kiting at Vermonter hole next to canadien hole and I think I even particpated in one crazy slippery launch myself! Don't worry I just said I was visiting from Vermont!
I am getting a North Pacific tri fin surfboard 5'6" before we go to the Gorge if anybody wants to try it in the fall when we get good wind let me know. I definetly think the surfboards are alot of fun.
