Who's planning on attending the Grayland Beach Event.

I'm planning on being there on the 28th or 29th to 30th.Will probably camp at the State Park.

Reminder: you need to register with Napka for this event

It is on the calender. Now we need to put the sun and wind on the same days.

Grayland, WA. I'll be there since it's my back yard.

bigkid - 30-6-2013 at 06:07 AM

any word on the weather, beach, turnout, or if I should not show up?
Looks great for this afternoon.

Morrie Williams - 30-6-2013 at 07:28 AM

The weather has been great! Fri it was only Gerald, Ryan and me. Sat it was Gerald, Ryan, Evans, Ken, Sheri and me. Today is looking good, all we need is wind!

**** DELETED **** Some how was double posted

fletcht - 30-6-2013 at 08:46 AM

Actually, I was there also Friday, just later then the rest of you. Got an hour or so of flying in near high tide.
Saturday, switched back and forth between the 12.5 and 8 M. We had some great runs.
Hope to see you today.

Got to say the trip was worth it. The beach was as big as ever, and hard to boot. The wind was blowin just right. Had a blast with a few Canadians and a local, and a couple that have been a bit quiet lately. And then there was fletcht, what can I say.:P
The day ended with a very large plate of BBQ Beef Ribs and good company. I couldn't ask for anything else, except a lot less sunburn on my bald spot.:cool:

Just back from a great weekend at Grayland. Winds were good, from sw on Fri, to light onshore on Sat to nnw on Sun. The beach was wide so there was plenty of room to run. It was great to see everyone there. I'll post a bit of video once it's edited.

Morrie Williams - 1-7-2013 at 08:34 PM

Here's some of the folks that were at Grayland this past weekend. Great winds, great beach and great friends!
