Weather Talk For BC no matter what you ride

Oregon Coast and Gorge : April 18-27

Kitesurfing shop talk

Total Kilometerage: 2850 kms
TOW:
~5 hours kiting Gorge (April 18 and 26)
~2 hours surfing Newport
~6 hours kiting Pistol River (SW to SE winds from 15-30 knots)
0 hour windsurfing :-( -- The Gorge wasn't windy enough for my 4.5 and waves at the Oregon coast from Manzanita to Pistol River are just too messy -- not fun for windsurfing.

Found a nice cabin (Rogue Autel) with view of beach at Gold Beach for $45 a night.

Got a pretty good 5.2 m Naish freeride sail from the swap today for $20. Ready for Squamish this weekend, I hope.

Overall, not so satisfied with the wind, but at least got a nice break from work and got some sun too.

Anyone going to Pistol River for Wave bash? I am thinking of going and maybe join the event for fun.
