Wassup fellow riders,
I'm looking for upcoming event dates for 2011. I'm trying to book all my 15 weeks of vacation that I need to use up.
Im already attending NABX and SOBB. What else is out there in the world on this side of the pond.
Thx in advance.

Tomorrow I get confirmation on the Dates of May 18-21 for JIBE from the Jekyll Island Authority. Actually the dates are in the bag, just gotta get
confirmation about the use of a separate southern staging area for Saturday to keep us away from weekend "crowds" and to put the shipwreck within
easier striking distance for novices.

Do Deadbird just for me Buddy !
That is one event I have always regreted not hitting !

Here is my 'going to list' so far for at least the first half of the year.
Georgetown Lake Open, MT Jan 7-9 (Snow)
South Padre Island Kite Fest (last weekend in January?) (buggy and landboard... .maybe some water)
**Kite Soldier, Fairfield, Idaho Feb 24-27** (Snow)
Super Fly, Strawberry, UT Feb 18-20 (Snow)
Dillon Snowkite Open, CO Feb 25-27 (Snow)
Snowkite Masters, Skyline, UT Mar 4-6 (Snow)
**Mille Lac Crossing, MN Mar 26** (Snow)
NABX (Buggy/Board)
JIBE (Buggy/Board)
Then possibly, Fort Collins Kite Fest, Quincy Kite Fest, WSIKF, Hood River Throwdown, WBBB, maybe some other kite fest's here and there. Depends on
the situation with my funds at that point.

I think there figuring out the dates for WBB in the spring. Fall was great.

Tides in May 2011 are such that two weekends are suitable for such an event, so it looks like WBB and JIBE can finally be scheduled apart. We are
working on it. In both cases, the low tides are later in the afternoon, but that is good, as that is when the winds are often on-shore and most
favorable. Leaves the mornings for family time and seeing local sights.

SPI for sure... I really want to make it there some day in the near future. There's also a slew of events in Hood River that I can dig up. La
ventana is a serious destination in the winter months.

If it were not for the security issues in Mexico... I'd drive there and join them in the spring. They usually have a gathering at Tamiahua or La
Pesca. La Pesca blows away the beach at Dead Bird and Jibe (which are both very nice places to buggy, but seem like football fields in comparison)
and has spots that are as wide as the NABX site is long. It has to be one of the best spots on the entire North American Continent. Too bad the
narcos rule that state right now...
