SOBB 2012 - a def maybe.....

macboy - 19-12-2011 at 01:53 AM

I was sitting with my daughter today flipping through pics and videos on my phone (most of her or of ice carving from the past few weeks) and there was a nice long clip of Eli practicing (and doing) the deadman turn - I think that's what it's called). She asked where it was so I told her it's when I was away at the ocean flying kites and that it was a long way away and that I missed her. She said "Maybe I can come with you and fly kites next time. That way you won't miss me."

Time to start the case with mommy..... :lol:

Especially since there's one in May AND in September!

what?! we have a May event now

dates please

Morrie Williams - 20-12-2011 at 05:13 PM

I believe the dates are May 19-28, 2012. Is that correct Jon???

SBBB official dates are May 26th thru June 3rd. The better tides with a holiday to give working folks a three day weekend.

I thought you were going to include the Canadian 3 day holiday.

jellis - 21-12-2011 at 11:32 AM

The tides were not the best during that time so we chose dates that would make it worth while.

AND... we'll have real wind to get out in the ocean for a full day this time ;) We can go down to manzo on a high tide and there are a few secret flat water, small wave spots that sprung up this year that will hopefully be there next year!

Arkay - I haven't given up hope on a Manzo stay during the summer - consider this your warning!

The plans to have the bun in the oven aren't going as smoothly this time around (who knew a child running around would make it hard to "find time" :lol: ) which, as a small bonus means we'll be probably pretty summer vacationally mobile for some outta town escapes this summer!

I know I can't make the May event but have booked time off for the Sept event.

Nice to see a Spring meet up I wish I could support it.

May 23rd is a Wednesday, souldn't the start date be May 26th a Saturday?

jellis - 15-1-2012 at 11:45 AM

OK if you like that better. 26 to 3rd. We will still be here for Dieter starting the 24th. Morrie I thought you were going to Alvord?

kiteboyza - 15-1-2012 at 11:51 AM

I know where the beach is...lol

First - I'm just trying to verify the real dates. If it's May 23rd thru June 3 that's fine.

Second - I said that if Alvord was dry it might be a tough decision as to which event to attend. Won't know about Alvord until April or so.

26th thru the 3rd
