iNEWS 04.30.12 The game is afoot and the kiters are all pumped up after a blistering day on 4/27. Rob "The Accelerator" Douglas's 50 knot peak is the fastest of the year so far. The season is just getting underway in the Gorge so it's only a matter of time until the speeds start posting from out West.

NEWS 01.01.12 Yet again the new England kiters proved superior and put the windsurfers in their places. Maui came in at second showing the Gorge pussies the way home. Well that's not going to happen again, Boris the Enforcer from Nevada has been enlisted to put some decent speeds on the board. On the Fourth of January 2012 he hit 40 knots for the first time and lost his virginity at ARooBar. Now it's time for everyone else to play catchup.
