I've got the afternoon free so I think I'm going to take a drive in a while if
nothing else.  I have room if anyone wants to tag along.

 

If you look at Ontario right now its W 22 G 31 MPH but cooling off at 51 . and MT H This Afternoon Rain likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60. Breezy, with a southeast wind 9 to 14 mph becoming west northwest 21 to 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. and its allready 21 28

Pocatello 41-58mph SW

But how cool would you be to kiteboard in December.  Wish I could but used my hall pass to paraglide yesterday.  

Go for it JW and let us know when the boys drop back down. I think the rain might hold off now

I've got the afternoon free so I think I'm going to take a drive in a while if nothing else. I have room if anyone wants to tag along.

Got to the bridge and rigged the 9.5 at 2:15-ish.  Still cloudy and spitting
just a little rain.  Went out and I was so lit I thought maybe I should head
back in to get the 7.  Nah, stayed out and it mellowed a little.  Was good n lit
for a while.  Hit the 3 o'clock lull and worked my way back in.

Big lull so I rigged the 12 and got out the big board.  About the time I was
ready to head out the white caps picked back up so I went back out on the
regular board.  Right choice, freight train on the 12 till dark.  I could have
been on the 9.5 but didn't want to re-rig again.

I had on a 2mil shortie and the 543 over it with gloves, booties, and helmet.  I
never did get cold and didn't bother taking the water temp, it felt low to mid
50's.  The sun came out for the last half.  The wind was more westerly.  I quit
just after sunset and the wind was still crankin.  It was a great session, gusty
at first, nice powered butter after the lull, and a little gusty the last half
hour or so.  The only thing that wasn't great was nobody else there to share it.

Look at the Grandview readings.  They were the highest I think I've seen that
station when I've kited down there.  The Grandview chart looks better than the
AFB station.  I did notice the direction wasn't the normal NW, but more
westerly.  Maybe the wind at the AFB was not consistent if it was flowing over
the river canyon and swirling around up to the airbase.  I only went behind the
islands once because of the wind direction.  When I started my 12m sesh, I
headed significantly more towards the bridge than normal.

high of 63 but when you were out there it was 48 . Im thinking your right about

Steve L, you and I made it into "Idaho the Movie." There's about 2 seconds of snowkiting towards the end - a shot of me with the "Go Broncos" kite, then a shot of you in the air.

Actually, if you were in a public place, they have every right to use footage without your permission.

See:

Members of the public have a very

limited scope of privacy rights when

they are in public places. Basically,

anyone can be photographed without

their consent except when they have

secluded themselves in places where

they have a reasonable expectation of

privacy such as dressing rooms, restrooms,

medical facilities, and inside

their homes.

Specific to video, if you were both there for 2 seconds total, I doubt you could argue that you were a "main model" in the commercial endevour. That makes you incidental models in a public place. Good luck with that lawsuit.

Don't make a big deal out of this. You're in a video! That should be seen as "cool, I'm in a video!" not "I'm going to sue you!"

I launched from the north side but the area closer to the bridge.  There's a
good shallow area to walk out and drift launch.  After the rain, the the road to
cocaine flats would have been seriously mucky.
