Glad you were able to get out. I've been on crutches for the last couple weeks and wishing I could have been there.
Thanks for posting. I was wondering how you made out.

It was pretty good. I went out on a 3.2 and was lightly powered for about an hour. Came back in and went bigger (3.7) and had a blast for another hour. I windsurf was showing 33 mph average. Fun times. mchaco1 was out on a 95 liter board and discovering it's limitations in 30mph wind

the limitations on the 95 were mostly mine  I had more luck on the 140L, which was actually decent once i got past the swell near shore. I dont think ill have any issues with waterstarting in the event site channel anymore

If you came in at E. Point you did good. The people that do poorly end up half way to Cascade Locks. The Sheriff boat has even pulled them out from under the Bridge of the Gods.

| I was watching the wind graph that day thinking about you guys.. Amazing the rest of the gorge can be fairly calm while at the same time Stevenson and Rooster were so windy.
