The 9M easily as good as 7m C.

Getting worn out, may be ourlast day.

After chasing the wind at the coast,
(Doug got a short ride in the fog at Florence Jetty 7/23)
we went back to the Gorge.
Got a early session at the sand bar (zoo).
We rode up to the lower end of the Hatchery.
Nice swell, good wind.
Then we rode a late session at Rufus.
Camping at Peach Beach.

65--15M Fort Stevens downwinder

Jon, Pat and Steve joined us.
It was late, but great.
They all ripped downwind,
I kinda took my time and enjoyed the ride.
little overpowered on the 15M
wished I had smaller size on,
but still dreamy, floaty jumps over the waves,
and smooth carves on the inside, waves.
Dumped the kite in the surf,
easier than my old kites to get relaunched...
The ocean is what kiting is all about....

64--Shipwreck 11M

Doug and I got the late sunset session in the waves.
Didn't have time to look for a ride for a downwinder,
We just rode and loved it!!
Instinct is an awsome wave kite....
