Hello!
I’m back from a week in Ohio and a week in Portland, OR. When I left Ohio there was a pretty raucous illness wreaking havoc on my internals, but that too has passed. Despite that illness being followed immediately by a nasty cold, I still had an awesome week in Oregon. I arrived Friday night. Saturday consisted of some healing and some karaoke and Sunday, the adventures got underway.
Sarah and I started the week with a trip Westward to the infamous Cannon beach. It was my first time to the Pacific Ocean. Talk about a really cool location. Apparently, a scene in Goonies was filmed there, though I don’t remember which. After the beach we hit up some pretty epic little craft stores and the like which stand just off the beach. Included in the bunch was a fun kite store. Check out these kites!
When we were out there the wind was blowing pretty ferociously out to sea. I wonder if Kiteboarding is popular here when the wind is a bit more favorable. Stay tuned for more adventure stories tomorrow!
“I wonder if Kiteboarding is popular here when the wind is a bit more favorable.”
I know that Hood River, OR is a mecca for windsurfing. Probably is for kiteboarding, too.
Yep.

In addition to kiting in the Gorge, the Pacific beaches where you guys were are popular for downwinders
Also, AWESOME kite store!!! I will definitely stop in there if I am ever nearby!
