2014 event location

The dead bird team has made the decision to relocate the event out at slp (san luis pass). A part of east beach has been designated a bird sanctuary and kites and buggys are not allowed in that area now. So, make your plans to come and join us on the other end of the island at slp.

DBBB recon

treblehook - 3-11-2014 at 08:37 PM

We had a good little meet-up @ SLP on Sunday.
Van & Family, Mark & Wife, Jeremiah, Laura and myself.
Nice steady SE winds 12 - 18mph , mostly sunny 72 degrees.
Not many beach goers out. We got a lot of fast runs in to water tower and back and some tandem buggy-ing in. Sand in great shape, for the most part packed. Got some Ariel footage w/ the help of Jeremiah's he-xi copter.(see pics) Van and Mark did it up nice with some bbq wings and burgers or us all. Just another great day power kiting with friends .
If the sand conditions can hold on for 3 more weeks, DBBB should be a good one. Good winds good friends good food.....don't get much better that. see y'all soon........:smilegrin:

Good photo's - I am getting excited. Checking my stuff, tires - road trip! Love the photos!

Hey all. I just read that they will be dredging the ship channel starting the first of the month and pumping sand to relocate along the sea wall. It looks like the move to slp was the right one for the event.

Thanks Cat, we all had a great day. Is there a head count for the BBQ for Sunday the 23rd ? Or a head count for the whole week? Susan you heard from anyone?

kitemaker4 - 14-11-2014 at 08:55 AM

Hey Herb.

I just did a head count. As of right now there are 19 registered for the pre-event and 34 registered for the main event.

Having it on Thanksgiving weekend and 1400 miles from me might keep me from ever making this one.

I've got two burners, two pots, and propane for the birds... along with a salad mix straight from the back yard.

Someone is bringing birds???????
I think someone already is bringing the oil....
