NWLiquid Victoria Day Weekend Demos – Roosevelt, WA

18 05 2007

Demo season is here and there is no better was to get a feel for the new 2007 kites and boards than to show up and give one a try. Following the great success of our NWLiquid / Gorge Performance demos at Sauvie’s Island in Portland earlier this week, we have decided to back it up with some water time out in the eastern gorge, at Roosevelt.

Michael Giebelhaus and his crew from Kite-Line are camped out at Roosevelt for the weekend to ride, demo gear and hang out with the vacationers from the north, who make the annual journey down to the Gorge for Victoria Day. Victoria day weekend signals that summer has come to the gorge and our beloved summer winds are on!

Get out to Roosevelt Washington this weekend 5/18-5/20 to catch up with the Kite-Line crew and demo some new 2007 Liquid Force Gear! Available all weekend at Roosevelt are the new Liquid Force Havocs, in 6m, 8m, 10m, 12m and the new Assault2, as well as the new Recoil, Aura and Mission kiteboards and 5’8″ and 6′ LF SURF boards!

To demo any of this gear.. head out to Roosevelt and ask for Michael and the Kite-Line crew!

We made the trip out last night for some great riding, demos and time with the crew.

With the wind cranking in typical late afternoon Roosevelt style, it was the 8m Havoc that was on the water first.

With Grey doing so well on the Havoc 8m, his wife Rainbow was stoked to check out the Assault2 6m. Before long, they were way upwind on the outside, enjoying a late afternoon soul session together.

We met so many great people, it is hard for me to remember all of their names. Sorry. Glad though that we were able to get a number of people out on both the new Assault2’s and Havocs.

After seeing his buddies do everything possible to taint my claim that the 2007 Liquid Force Assault2 is hands down the easiest kite- EVER- to relaunch, Michael was ready top give it a try. The Assault delivered and it seems like Michael had a great time!

Just when we thought it was all coming to an end and we were ready to pack up.. Rainbow decided to give the Havoc 6m a try, so she could feel the differences back to back with the Assault2. Even as it went side of with the classic NW devil winds, Rainbow and the Havoc both demonstrated their strengths and not only had a great session, but made it back in to the beach in a horrible offshore wind shadow. Way to go Rainbow! You impressed us all with your skills and riding!

Thanks to Michael and Kite-Line for coming out to the Gorge to support the Victoria Day weekend visitors! Thanks to Rainbow, Grey, Michael and everyone else we met who took the time to demo a LF kite or board.

Get out to Roosevelt this weekend 5/18-20 to demo some new 2007 Liquid Force Kite Gear!
