October Power Camp out

STACKflyer - 25-8-2008 at 09:40 AM

Would anybody be interested in meeting up for a sort or power fly/meet up/camping trip? There is a great location here in Delaware called Cape Henlopen. Camping is really cheap. The beach is a 10 minute walk from the campsites. The place will be empty except for us. I just had this though to get it up here. I have been going the last few years and I thought you all would like to know. The beach is prob 3 miles long and its perfect for buggying. Also, it is a quick ferry ride across the bay from Wildwood, if you wanted a wider beach.

I could be into that! How far a drive is it from NYC do you reckon? :) can you ride the surf there as well? I reallllly wanna use my landboard again though, it's been a while!

I am in!

What beach are you talking about by the way? Dewey is my local kiteboarding spot but I can't recall a good beach for buggy ride.

Wildwood might be a good option in October. It's good for landboarding @ low tide, and kiteboarding @ high tide. If it's on-shore wind, landboarding and if it's side shore wind, kiteboarding.

I am trying to organize a big downwinder between Wildwood crest and North Wildwood this fall.

If a handful of people go it'd be the perfect opportunity for you to try different things out so you can figure out what you want.

STACKflyer - 26-8-2008 at 06:30 PM

STACKflyer - 27-8-2008 at 01:41 PM

ok, mark your calendars. This trip will take place the weekend of the 17th 18th and 19th of October.

let me know ASAP who can come. We need to reserve camp sites and figure out if we want to do community food or not.

ragden - 27-8-2008 at 04:00 PM

Estimate on cost?

STACKflyer - 27-8-2008 at 06:32 PM

well, if we eat together, prob around 80 bucks per person for the weekend. And thats eating really well. if not, camping is only like 30 bucks a night

ragden - 1-9-2008 at 03:02 PM
