I spotted someone flying a P4 15m and an HQ Neo at one point.
I was the guy on the speed 2 12m.
anyway I tried to track you down after I came in but I think you must have left or something.
who were you?
btw your 5th line is too short on the P4. it was pulling on the middle of the kite. its hard to see when you're flying the kite but pretty easy to
spot when you see someone else flying it.

That was me on the 15. Wind was pretty terrible that day... I think I saw you getting a rescue from that boat?
I was up on a road trip from AK, and was very impressed with the Gorge overall.
Wind can be pretty gusty but the wind swell in the channel is a blast and makes it worth it. P4 is great for this!
Have you launched from Stevenson?
Thanks for the heads up on the 5th line.

yeah I got stuck in a black hole over on the washington side. there was no wind on the water surface so I couldn't even get tension on the lines to
try and relaunch. I decided to ditch and a boat that had been watching me came and picked me up and took me back to get my kite.
decided shorts harness, shorty and fresh water is a bad idea without a PFD.
I'm used to saltwater and a 5mil wetsuit so it was freaking me out a bit when I realized I had to tread water to stay afloat!
I have since started wearing a PFD now when I go out.

Yeah I know what your saying...I was glad to have my life jacket:
I think I over sailkoted the chicken loop on my 10m.
The damn thing kept releasing to the fds.
I managed to reassamble the loop 3 times but on the 4th it bowtied and I had to swim it in from
mid-channel. (That current is a bastard!)
It looked like you picked a boat with plenty of good looking help aboard though-nice work...
