Three Mile fun! + Rooster Rockin








So our first camp spot was a total surprise. As Brian and I drove all the way from Mt. Pleasant, Utah, about 12 hours. We showed up to Three Mile Canyon to camp. To our surprise we got down to the water and there was about 50 cops! For me I don't trust the police, so it was a awkward situation. It must of looked funny when we drove down to the waters edge in the Ozone van. Then we turned right around and high tailed it out of there.

Weird vibe from Cops, so we went to the next exit down the road to camp. After a good night sleep listening to the train that rambles down the canyon. We headed out in the morning to Hood River. We met up with our Friends Tony and Noah of Montana Kite Sports. Then decided where the wind is going to be in the Gorge. The sand bar wasn't looking great, light wind and hot. So we decided to rock down river to Rooster Rock.

What a sweet spot! It is a state park with a great beach and sand to launch kites and hang out on. But even better it is a clothing optional beach!! I got to kite and look at naked woman in the river!!! How much fun is that! Kites and BOOBS yahooooo! Only down fall is the Viet Shlong!! And the old naked dudes, but there is a good share of strippers from Portland.

The wind was cranking at Rooster that day. We were riding 9m Edge's. Also got to test out the new C4 kite by Ozone. It was sweet! I got to test a 11m C4. All I can say is SUPER! The kite is a total hoot. It is a user friendly C kite that totally depowers and still has the punch and bang of a C kite. I was amazed at its gust munching abilities. There will be alot of stoked people to try this ride. It is a totally different feel and jumping with it is like going to the moon. I need to ride the C4 for a afternoon just so I could get use to the boost and glide. Also the speed it moves, what a riot!

From local Gorge riders to visiting retailers everyone that got there hands on the c4. Was stoked on the new generation of Ozones. And loved the fact that they are trying new designs that work!

COMING SOON
Zephyr pics and write up!
