So bummed

chudalicious - 24-10-2012 at 07:49 AM

Hey y'all!!
Had the trip booked and last minute both Anderson and I are sickly so not looking too good at the moment.

So bummed as we have not missed a WWBB in two years and after taking kiteboarding lessons over the summer at Kitty Hawk in Rodanthe, I was REALLY looking forward to flying and getting more and more comfortable...

Guess we'll have to just wait till spring... long LONG wait :(

On that note, wondering if anyone knows of any snowkiting stuff in the works in the Northeast?

Hope everyone has a great time and see ya around the corner!!

:wee:

Sorry you two aren't feeling well. Get better.

Theres been one at Tug Hill in NY annually. Like to see one in New England. One possible host in NH cannot afford insurance. Main issue...always.

We could gather informally but not officially organized or sponsored. That we can do several times over. I say why not. Heck, I'm likely gonna go somewhere(lake ) and put an open 'meet up'.

It can be that simple. Happy to play myself or hang with others.

RIP Kitestorm. Was a blast.

Yeah I wish I could make it too. Unfortunatly plane tickets were at $600 and that is before taxes and checked bags. I love wildwood, but its not worth that much for just three days.

Sending the good wind your way fellas:thumbup:

Definitely a bummer you guys wont be here! The BBQ wont be the same! Take care and maybe I can make it up for TH

Agreed... miss you guys! Get well soon and go out and get some!

chudalicious - 24-10-2012 at 06:09 PM

Kober... let me know if the NH Jam ends up happening... love me some NH (aka, it's close!!)

Yeah, everyone around me is sick... started with Anderson, then my hockey team and now my coworkers!! I could not escape. Spring and fall is when I always get sick so timing is a biotch in this case.

Adam, hope you can make it in the spring - your high flying skills are always amazing to watch!

Todd, would have been great to see ya considering you missed the spring bash - hope to see you in 2013 :) I wanna see a kickass vid from this one though!!

Here's to the snowiest winter since the blizzard of '78!! :thumbup:

Sucks to miss WBB!
Feb 15,16,17 , Saratoga NY. If we get ice and snow, fly all day dance all night , or fly all day misc. music all over town all night , or fly all day drink all night , or fly all day fly all night!

Drink lots of fluids and hack those lungs clear.

Patrick, are you gonna miss it as well??? Just would not be the same seeing all your buggies and thing 1 and thing 2 running around on the beach!

Daughter drives the van to the comm. coll. and I'm peddling my a$s to work every day, I'm adapting to the new economy but I don't really like it.
