Left my board @ Cook st.

Left my new board at Cook St. on Wed. Night. On the grass. Went back about 30 min. Later and was told a Kiter named Jeff had picked it up. If you have my board please call. If you have any info on trying to get ahold of Jeff, please let me know.
Thanks,

Heading down to Portland next weekend for a wedding. Was thinking of fitting in a little kiting. Heard talk about the Gorge but have no info on it.
Was thinking Hood river was a little far and crowded.

Sleeving Material

Just wondering where you can buy the sleeving material for sleeving Spectra line when you knot the end? I had some from a long time ago but can't remember where I purchased it from. My gf broke the line on her trainer and I need to make some new lines.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Use it for checking the conditions often. I was talking to some of the guys on my jobsite and apparently alot of fishermen use these models for planning there fishing trips.
Would be really horrible to see it go.

Taking lessons is a necessity. You have to cut upwind to even get off the beach on Skaha so learning there is a no go. Just wanted to start looking, takes a while to find a good setup.
