A buddy took some lessons with Aerial kiteboarding last weekend and they had found it. They rescue boards all the time (as all the schools do apparently). Woo hoo! (I didn't have my number on it, will do now.)

I'm aiming for 21 hours.

Friday - 7 hrs
Saturday - 7 hrs
Sunday - 7 hrs


Didn't reach my target. Only did ~18 hours TOW Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Oh well looking forward to Columbia River Gorge and Oregon Coast trip: July 1-12.

Any idea why Aerial isn't teaching from the Spit? I saw their bus there before the season started but haven't seen them represented the past few times I've been up. Anyone know?

Cost, location and SWS politics is what I've been told.
Being that the lessons in general are taught from a boat why would any school subject their students' vehicles to the spit road while also paying thousands to the SWS ?
Seems like a good business move.
