Are We There Yet?

ChrisH - 7-5-2013 at 05:21 PM

I'm stoked, can't wait to be on the beach with all you guys! Less than 3 weeks to go!!

MeatÐriver - 7-5-2013 at 06:15 PM

The clock....it seems to tick more and more slowly the closer SOBB gets.

sand flea - 8-5-2013 at 03:43 PM

Chris and Meat I am going crazy too!
How about a little pre SOBB this Saturday?

I believe we should do a little beach inspection for our friends coming in a couple of weeks.

see ya on the beach

I'll be watching the weather for sure. I'll let you know as we get closer to Saturday.

MeatÐriver - 8-5-2013 at 06:08 PM

Was there this past saturday and the place was packed with beachgoers. Crappy NE winds, speed bouncing up and down. Got my first beach session with only several short passes on underpowered yak that wasn't liking it at all (blurrs were backordered into this next week.) Dodging cars wasnt helping much either. Busy this weekend but hopefully make a trip up there the 18th or19th if I can get my lady to bail on the rockaway kite festival.

sand flea - 8-5-2013 at 06:29 PM

yeah, too bad about the bad wind direction, it happens when the beach gets in the 80 degree range. Me and C2 talked about it.

the 18th or so, well.... weekend before SOBB and late tides, probably will stay home.
I hope you guys are at SOBB!

ChrisH - 10-5-2013 at 02:05 PM

Looks like a no go for me this weekend, Chris. Apparently, I have things to do lol. Audrey is starting to get nervous about getting things done before the baby is born, I don't mind staying home for the weekend to ease her mind. The less stress the better :) See ya at SOBB!!!

sand flea - 10-5-2013 at 05:15 PM

Okay, Who's going to be there and when?

arkay - 11-5-2013 at 09:59 AM

I had planned to be there the 27-30th but work decided that that it would be a good idea for me to travel that week :/ So I hope to be back for the 30-2...

Bladerunner - 11-5-2013 at 02:42 PM

I can only be there May 25 - 27 :(

sand flea - 12-5-2013 at 05:54 AM

ChrisH - 12-5-2013 at 10:16 PM

Looks like Blokart for me as I'm still recovering from a ruptured distal bicep tendon ,so no kite handles for now .I will do some filming if someone wants to tandem me around for a bit. Will be there the afternoon of the 27th. and staying until the weekend . Dixie is doing all the driving right now so that makes it easy for me to have a few extra wobbly pops on the beach, if anyone gets dry and thirsty stop by for a cold one ;):D

I'll give you a tandem... would have to borrow a tandem setup but I'll provide the power:thumbup:

Like you need an excuse to have a few on the beach:cool:

I'm in on Friday, out on Wednesday.

See you all soon!

Ron

ChrisH - 22-5-2013 at 09:13 PM

Anyone up for a night session on Friday or Saturday this weekend? Looks like a full moon and a late evening low tide!

Morrie Williams - 24-5-2013 at 07:25 AM

What's the current condition of the approach? Will be headed south by noon today. Should arrive at buggy camp around 3 after a stop at Costco.

sunset-Jim - 24-5-2013 at 09:26 AM

It's in pretty decent shape. cya soon

jellis - 24-5-2013 at 02:05 PM

Morrie, Costco approach looks like heck, cars everywhere.

tdmc96 - 24-5-2013 at 04:30 PM

Just leaving now....should be fun with the detour around mount vernon.
See you all in the Morning bright and early on the beach.

lucky_13 - 24-5-2013 at 08:10 PM

How is the weather ? It looked like rain all next week . If the weather looks good the wife and I will be leaving Tuesday and be there by wensday.

ChrisH - 27-5-2013 at 06:23 PM

Only thing you can do is check the weather often. I just got home from SOBB....weather is really nasty right now but the high pressure is supposed to be coming towards the weekend. I'll be going back next weekend for sure. If I were you, I'd just go and if it's good, it's good and if not....buggy camp is always fun! :)

Bladerunner - 27-5-2013 at 07:05 PM

Just got home.

Looks like poor weather for a couple more days but should be great next weekend.

I got some riding in and the wind was strong enough Sat. that I got my heart rate up.

GREAT TIMES ! See you all again soon!

bigkid - 27-5-2013 at 10:21 PM

Was hoping for better weather, one way or the other, Levi and I are leaving Thursday AM and will be there a few hours later' We will stay until Sunday PM.
I hope Levi's driving lessons pay off, would not want to get a ticket on 6he way down.;)

dirtslide - 28-5-2013 at 08:39 AM

I thought you were headed down there a few days earlier than that looks like you will miss Ron so send my new bling bling with Sean aka Scudley or any of the other Vancouverites that are left down there at the end of the week . thanks Jeff ,Wish I could have made it but after the 6th or 7th thing going wrong I finally got the point that I shouldn't be there this time. :(:(:(

crazyherb - 28-5-2013 at 09:36 AM

Jeff reminded me of a pic I've recently seen...

lucky_13 - 29-5-2013 at 09:17 AM
