LONG BEACH BUGGY CREW (NY area riders)

MikeDobbs - 11-3-2012 at 10:07 AM

Forecast looks good for today! We have a 4:30 Low tide, and with the clocks set back to summer fun we have plenty of light to enjoy it. Forecast looking like 10-13 SSW all afternoon.

Anyone feel like a last minute outing?

Enjoy!

Sorry you guys couldn't make it out. After some deliberation I decided to head out by myself (which I don't normally do) since the wind wasn't supposed to be crazy. Imagine my excitement when I see a buggy axle strapped to the top of a Suburu as I pull up! :bigok:

Upon inspection of the car I find a PKF sticker on the rack, so I head out to the beach and find NeilDeans7 with a newcomer to the sport. Along with NeilDeans7 and me there were a few locals out on buggys, as well as another new PKF member abKayak, so there was a pretty good crew.

Winds were generally SSW, tending a bit more towards SW towards the end of the day. Had a great session on a few different kites taking advantage of this extra hour of light.

Offshore winds, time in the buggy, and new PKF friends = great afternoon :wee:

Man if I didn't have plans next weekend I would drive down. But I think Sandy would string me up by my personals if I went kiting!!
Glad you guys had a good day. Remember you can never have to many friends or kites!!
