Hello everyone,
I have been wondering for a while who on here was a kite dealer in or around the Portland, OR or Vancouver, WA area. I'd like to get a feeling of
how many people in the area I could make some connections with. I'd like to continue breaking into the "kite scene", so to speak, and making
connections with others in the area would be great.
Feel free to send a u2u or just post on here,

"Around" is kind of vague.... When I lived in NY I used to drive 5 to 6 hours to grab breakfast up in the Lake George area or a similar distance to
grab dinner in Western Mass. ;-)
Guess that is a slight improvement from bicycling all day to visit a bird.
ATB,

Haha. I was wondering about people within an 2-3 hours of PDX or Vancouverbigkid - 11-5-2010 at 12:21 PM
The east coast and all those dealers are only a phone call away, but that drive for breakfast will take a little longer than 5 hours.:shocked2:
There are 2 shops in Seattle, and one of them is mine. U2U sentripsessionkites - 11-5-2010 at 12:22 PM
lots of riders at Sunset Beach

Lots of places to buggy here and a new place has just opened up with a half mile run during a NW wind. Great spot, need bigfoots though.teelzy - 11-5-2010 at 01:11 PM
Thanks for the help all, I will probably start messaging or emailing folks around here just to kind of say "howdy." If there are any other kiters
(dealers or not) feel free to let me know rocfighter - 11-5-2010 at 01:51 PM
I'm right here too. Just about 50 hour drive straight through with no traffic or stopping to pee! arkay - 11-5-2010 at 01:58 PM
I bop between hillsboro and manzanita with a reach to the gorge every now and then. If you want to meet land kiters then sunset beach really is the
place to do it. There's not a lot of land flying elsewhere, the coast is just too nice comparatively :D
For water, there's the gorge sites (rooster, event, stevens, ...), sauvie island, and jones beach. Then sunset beach and manzanita at the coast.
Maybe we all need to set a date for sunset so sean and willard can plan a trip up. When are those pink kites gonna get here?!indigo_wolf - 11-5-2010 at 02:25 PM

Awwww crap.... I am going to have to mull over what body part I want to have Jon's contact info tatooed onto (... and no, I am not entertaining
suggestions :o ). This is the second time I have left him off a response for a dealer list request.
It just sucks when the brain is at the end of its warranty period. :sniff:

Would love to, but I'm currently at Riverbend hospital with my wife who is on antepartum bed-rest for at least another two weeks. Then I'll be very
busy with a newborn for the rest of the summer.arkay - 11-5-2010 at 02:39 PM
We can totally hook up a stroler as a tandum buggy...csa_deadon - 11-5-2010 at 04:26 PM
Still waiting on that @#$% Volcano to settle down. a tandem stroller? That would be sweet, :wee:jellis - 11-5-2010 at 06:37 PM
Hey no worries Sam. Brain farts are common after safety meetings. RRR - 13-5-2010 at 10:15 AM
Hey teelzy 503-661-4052 east county. I will talk to you Zach.arkay - 13-5-2010 at 11:18 AM
I'll be at the coast this (and almost every weekend) but the wind forecast looks iffy. Might try to hit up friday afternoon to take the v19 out on
the water, should be mid teens, or see if I can make a loop around the entire beach.teelzy - 13-5-2010 at 11:52 AM
At the moment I'm working all kinds of early morning, late night, weekday, weekend shifts so setting a date when I will surely be at the beach is
tough... EXCEPT for the 29th and 30th. I will be at the beach for my Dad's birthday/hang out at the beach time. If anyone is planning on being near
Lincoln City I'll be there! Woo Hoo!jellis - 14-5-2010 at 10:35 AM
Teelzy come to Sunset Beach and I will put you a buggy and let you fly some great foils.RRR - 14-5-2010 at 11:01 AM
I wil l Be at Sunset this weekend to see you there!!:wee::wee::wee:heliboy50 - 14-5-2010 at 07:30 PM
Other half's b-day this weekend, so I'm out. But next weekend looks good. I think. Plus I still need to edit and post my OBE vids from last
weekend:Ange09: Teelzy, I can pretty much see evergreen field from my house. U2U if you want to static or something.jellis - 14-5-2010 at 07:38 PM
Can't wait to get to the beach but this weekend is Jenifer's (sons wife) graduation from Washington State with her masters.
U2U sent
