Toby, what is your point? LOL

Oh, just to rub it in, last two late afternoons have had 15 to 20 3 hours before/until sunset. Tonight should be a repeat.

Chris Moore rode with us last night. It was good pretty good (15+)

Team rider Jim Manning brought home some SS Link kites from the Gorge and Donna, myself and bunch of others rode the 12m kites last night. One was rigged 5th line and one was rigged hybrid style using a bridle system. (The same kite can be rigged both ways).

I will have pics and some rider reviews coming soon on the Extreme kite forum.
Demo coming very soon as well.

I honestly didn't believe it until I saw it! Great session today and I only rode for like 2 hours because my back is so sore.

After wakeboarding yesterday I was winching the boat back onto the trailer and slipped in some muck on the boat ramp and came down hard on the concrete ramp on the upper part of my back. It's really sore and riding today (and hopefully tomorrow) definitely didn't help...

I was teasing. Ikite forecasts are the worst! One out of 365 is just lucky.
Glad you guys got some yesterday

SS appears to have a real winner on their hands this year.
Should be a great year for kites.
