I haven't been to Nitinat much this year. But I was there on Monday this week and have a couple of observations. The first thing I noticed was that the kite storage and launch area is now from the tree stump at mid-beach west. That probably goes along with the second observation, the small number of...

Picked this up on the Oregon Coast forecast page. ...MODELS ARE INDICATING POTENTIALLY RECORD BREAKING UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHWEST. THEREFORE THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR RECORD OR NEAR-RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEK. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDPQR...

I believe that the primary driver is a "Thermal Circulation".
This is a good video that explains it in simple terms.

I don't know why he uses cities for points A and B in the video.

Back to the original post. My impression is that the daytime thermals are more complex than wind blowing from cold--> warm at a junction. The gradient is initiated at upper levels and the lower level wind is the result of equilibration. I've been trying to understand why Nitinat (and also bug infest...

Re: Confucius
Confucius lived from 551–479 BC. I am pretty sure that the airplane was developed sometime after that period. I would question your sources for this quote.slats wrote:Confucius say: woman who fly upside down in airplane

Good man Gwind. See you at the beach.
BTW. I like this review (http://popandpour.ca/2012/02/22/wine-re ... seleccion/). He objects to the bulls balls on the label!! Then he finds many tastes in the wine that I missed.
But this is probably off topic .... so ...

Good on ya KUS. I walked the trail to Vic's Beach in August and you are right, it's pretty tough to navigate in sections. I'm in Kansas City from Friday through Friday but maybe a weekend later in mid-October. Alternatively, I guess we could get at it in May next year. Good way to kick off the Victo...

Stalag? A prisoner of war camp? I don't ever recall Nitinat being run like a WW II POW camp. Let's see if I get your point Nobby. If someone's dog craps on front of my tent, I should clean it up for them. Not make a fuss. If someone leaves stinking garbage by the bulletin board, I should smile and t...

In most places windsurfers ride upwind of kiteboarders, but that would mean they'd have to lug their gear up the beach. So the conveniently park downwind, and complain when underpowered or struggling kiters get in their way. . I used to camp along the river trail and lug my equipment up the beach b...
