Hey JC, some inconsistencies in your estimates lately are largely explained by higher level east to west pressure gradients which still play a significant role in surface level air movement. Lately there has been a lot of offshore high level flow (why you've seen smokey skies and sunsets but not ...

New recruit/oregon coast rookie/prodigal young guy Dane has been checking off boxes from his Oregon coast scavenger hunt at great pace.

I can confirm access to the Cape Oasis/culvert bird bath is better than last season and yes, the peeper camera in there is still up. I guess they liked what Jesse and I were offering up. Maybe we have our own cape only fans. Dare to google.

Coming down Alex?

The water at Flo the other day I swear was the coldest I've felt. Maybe I'm just getting soft though. 3 of us here at the cape now, looking good for a few days.

Naw - it's more simple than that. Publicly traded company, board sees it is a lot easier and more profitable to just sell fabric to whomever wants it than to deal with the complexity of running a kite brand which probably generates very little profit for the shareholders relative to that effort ...

I am planning on the last two weeks of June as per normal.

Hope to see some others out in the meth free zones!

Such great times. Thanks everyone for being so special.

Best hack is to rent a U-Haul van and sleep in that in the U-haul car park beside Costco. Buddy from Toronto has done this twice for two weeks both times!

I have a line on a rental vehicle if you are looking.

Do sharks eat wingers?

Will ex-windsurfers reuinte with their poles to dance at the sea star?

Does freedom still only cost a buck O' five?

Did La Casita de oro survive covid?

If you can't camp on the rogue River anymore does camping still exist?

Is gold beach meth as good as I don't remember it ...

Ummm... Jesse is a... dude who identifies as a mermaid.

Outside Esquimalt lagoon is kelp free but the wind is usually gusty. I like it though. It's definitely more sketchy for kiting than for Wing or Windsurf. Look for SW days for better wind, WSW for not as great and W for gusty AF.

Have you windsurfed? That will be a bigger help than foiling experience. Foiling experience just allows you to be used to the sensation and not freak out when you are feeling like you are (actually ~70cm) 10 feet in the air on foil!

On the desktop version if I click on either of the thumbnail photos on the right side on the home page they both go to the Gordons album even though when I hover over my last photo it shows the caption. Figured I'd mention that.
