It wasn't too great. Tides were off and wind was 5.0. and kinda shifty. Started out westerly, then sw, then nw . About 7:30 came the last hurrah that was...

A friend told me that the wind only comes up after a high tide - which yesterday was around 6PM. I have no idea why this would be the case, but he swears by...
I had a great day at the Hatchery yesterday - except for a nasty wipeout at the end of my 2nd session. I was very powered on 4.2m and hit a medium-sized ramp....
... just do a heel grab in the air to make it look like your foot coming out was intentional ;) Seriously, though, this has happened to me also -- and it is a...
I have been a hooked in jumper for a few years now, and have just started trying to unhook before I go airborne and am finding lots of problems. First problem...

I have the same problems when trying to jump "off hook". Its also amazing how asymmetrical my jumping ability is - starboard jumps are fine, but port jumps...
Same here, port or "left tack" is much weaker, but wave riding is much stronger...maybe due to some north in the west wind? I read some article by Dave Cook in...
I stopped in at Nuke Alley on my way back from three days sailing at Manzanita for a very fun session between 3 and 6 on a 5.2/95 L combo. The wind picked up...
I am planning to buy a demo board after labor day and am first on the list to buy each of these boards I took a lesson from Ben on the JP and really liked it ...
Tides don't really have anything to do with the wind at Nuke Alley but they do affect waves and the speed that you plane. Outgoing tide is always better...
If it's a demo board, I would suggest demoing the RRD for yourself also. Both are good boards and good prices. It should just come down to which one you like...
I remember reading that article also. A few things I remember: Sheet in for power on ramp approach. Push down with the rear foot as you hit the ramp -- I...
While not part of the Gorge so a bit off topic the many Gorge sailors that venture out to the coast need to be aware of a recently observed hazard. If you sail...
mat, Great tip, I sailed this afternoon at the Hatch to air it out and see if I could make it work. Worked like a charm! I had been tucking my back foot in,...
Today's wind speeds were pretty impressive - I took the day off to rest up. Hoping to hit The Wall or Rufus tomorrow if its still blowing out east! bobg...
Last week I went looking for a page that listed all the Gorge Webcams. So far, I have not found one page that listed the ones I knew about. I decided to do a...
Had a good day at The Wall today - wasn't quite the epic session I was hoping for - but still lots of fun. Was out on 5.2m for a while, then 4.2m for a couple...
Couple more I found. Stevenson actually has 2 cams... one is pointed towards Bob's Beach and the other towards East Point. Here's the link for the East point ...
ODOT also has cams all over the state. They don't all show the water, but they are good for judging if it's sunny in Arlington or foggy in Newport, etc. Most...

Hey Bob, There is a phone number on the HatchCam web site. It is 541 387-3000. It is kind of hard to see if it is a couple of kites out there now or...
I sent them an email and the HatchCam looks much better this AM. Now if we could just get some wind back into the equation. bobg ... 387-3000. It is kind of...
