Adam I dont know what sizes of foils since I dont own any. What kind of winter kiting is there that isnt snowkiting ? I assume Waddell Creek is still blowing this time of year Arent foils smaller than LEI's to bring on a plane. When I flew to Florida on United I had two major concerns keep from gett...

Tighe
Good point about picking which kite to rig
forgot about the absence of whitecaps and leaves.

Usually there are enough other kiters out
and I just look at other kites in the air.

Maybe it is time to invest in a windmeter

Scott Righto, snowkite lessons are a great idea I guess I was a little vague on my experience level Took lessons with NewWinds in Hood River at the Sandbar in April. Most professional school around. All Instructors are IKO certified. I took IKO training too for 5 days not certified however since at ...

Anyone noticed the difference between the types of vehicles used for kiteboarding vs windsurfing ? Windsurfers need a much bigger vehicle. Kiters do not, however.....What about snowkiting ? Do you want a camper van with a heater to warm up with and a stove to make hot chocolate ? I think so. I have ...

Can someone help me find this video too ?

100+ Mb is a little much for email though

thanks

I found it on the map now

This looks like the same place a friend of mine
mentioned from last winter that gives discounts
to kiters.

Will try and make it out for the PASA event

Thanks
Pete

Sounds like 12M and 16M like I ride all summer

The 10M and 8M will go in a second bag
just in case I have extra room

I thought since I was learning that smaller
kites would be nicer to get started with.

Anyone agree ? I might be able to borrow
a 3M B3 foil too.

Is Georgetown Lake near Butte Montana ? I kited and filmed A&A once this summer at Florence It would be nice to watch them snow kite. From Hood Hood River I go northeast to Spokane and then southeast thru Idaho to Montana ? Looks like 600+ miles (one long day of driving) and a long roundabout. W...

Spent a week in Jacksonville Florida in November 20M Aero2 in the waves at JAX beach http://www.petegoodrich.com/kiting/ and some windskipping pics too 4.0 91' North Orbital, and a 90' Tiga board when the winds hit 40 MPH thats gale force ! http://www.petegoodrich.com/windsurfing/ Never expected to ...

This is Pete from Hood River Never tried snow kiting before and I will have 9 days during December to figure it out. I have been kiting for one summer full time here in the Gorge. I have the following LEI kites 16M X3 12M X3 10M X2 8M Aero I hate to leave anything at home but the airlines are gettin...

Sauvie Island is a close getaway for Portlanders

East of Portland 30 minutes with west winds and a long
sandy beach.

Watchout for the freighters, they move faster than barges

Hey Tighe, Coach, Paul Thanks for the glowing reports, it will make moving home much easier if I can continue my hobbies. Winters will go much faster if I can kite. Sounds like a few people are good enough to be sponsored. Is there a listing somewhere of all the team riders ? I would like to try sno...

Hey Coach, Yeah, all I wanted to do was move to the Gorge but now that I am jibing, jumping, and riding waves I am looking for more. I think kiting can offer more in terms of water time, air time, and new tricks. My family still lives in Minnesoda, however I was hoping the kite scene would be more o...

After almost 6 years in Portland, OR I am now thinking about moving back to the Twin Cities where I grew up before I moved away after college. The reason I left in the first place was the shortboarding and waveriding the Gorge offered. (poleboarding) Now that kiting has exploded onto the scene Minne...
