I've never experienced any x-aches from the water in the Gorge.

yeah the demographics is very friendly, 30% female now I would say and they rip!

This year was mostly waroo's, 50-60% I'd say, compared to last year was only 20-30%. The rest is pretty evenly divided SS, Naish, North and Cabby.

Most everybody kites the event site spit, number wise, rufus should be fun. small pebbly bch but nice desert scenery with only a few other people to kite with.

definitely getting that place in lyle for summer relief!

rufus was very cool..
solid wind for afternoon.. very powered on my 12m ..

for the first hour everyone except for me and one other rider was on new Ozone 11 or 13 instincts..

guess one of the guys is a dealer and all his crew was there.. number of other kiters showed up as the wind kicked in.. most all on waroos..

i still prefer the HR sandbar ..launching and landing on slippery rocks is not fun.. i was the only one there with booties on too.. that was odd..

got some pics and vid of the day.. fun fun fun

The only sandy beach launches you will find in the gorge are the event site, and lyle
