4th of July at Floras Lake, OR. Saw, light wind, heavy wind, flat water, waves, Zombies, Pirates, Wild animals, and even some fireworks.
Bill and Anna from Kite Zombies were up from Nor Cal. Which must have made Nate from Air Pirates www.air-pirate.com in Nor OR. Jealous, because he made it down too! Everyone, including Andy from Floras Lake Kiteboarding www.floraslake.com, got to put the Bandit through its paces. We saw anything from 14m light wind fun to heavy wind kite looping (I’m talking about you Nate and Andy).
Tuesday on the way out of town I hooked up with some great locals who were kind enough to share a down wind ride and some head high waves with me at Whiskey Run. Can’t wait until next year and if you’ve never made it to Floras Lake before, do yourself a favor and get out there! A shallow fresh water lake with ocean wind, miles of downwind wave riding opportunities, does it get any better? Yep, killer seafood, amazing hot dogs (Langlois General Store), a Wild Animal Park, and great people.
