Stevenson is the best spot to kite in the Gorge - very consistent and steady winds for the gorge and it is very much like conditions at Nitinat. I was there a few years back and the launch was tricky, you had to lay your lines in a Z pattern and then walk into the water - limited space. If it is tru...

I think there is an actual option that we can mount the cam about twenty feet up in the lines looking down... However, it would be ugly if someone blew a move and pulled the safety - bye bye helmet cam!

Should be a fun summer playing around with the cam
