I'll be driving into Houston tomorrow (Friday) evening for the weekend. Anybody going to be around Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning/early
afternoon? Don't have any of my gear with me though.
By the way...What's SLP???Houston AirHead - 11-6-2009 at 02:37 PM
I dont know what slp is, my guess is sugar land park??? I dont know all i know is i hate my self for cutting my toe tendon at the beach, ive been out
for almost a month now. 10 more days to go.kitemaker4 - 11-6-2009 at 02:51 PM
slp stands for san luis pass on the west end of galveston island. Right now east beach is off limits for buggys with several thousand beach goers.
The pass will have more people on the weekends and if you can week days are best.

Hey AJ. Tell them that we missed them for cinco de mayo and we missed you to.
Susan (npw goddess)dylanj423 - 11-6-2009 at 09:14 PM
yo.... houstonairhead.... i live near the galleria.... i am down for a trip, but may need some planning. i am off work on tuesdays and wednesdays....
just let me know if you want to meet either of those days. besides that, i can usually get off on a day or two some other days... but i need notice
for that.
san luis pass is the best bet on any given occasion.... after that, surfside beach. bolivar penninsula might be okay, depending on the number of
people out... but last time i was out there, they were still doing a lot of workaction jackson - 12-6-2009 at 04:38 AM

I was thinking of hitting the pass saturday. COuld use a good sunburn One
day I'll rememberr that the lotion only works if APPLIED not just sitting in the truck.Houston AirHead - 12-6-2009 at 08:54 PM
dylanj423 sounds good bro ill send you a message when i plan on heading into town to go kiting, I live close to the coast so it take me a while to get
back to dtown. I want to hit up Bush park in Katy. I love that park its huge and the grass is always dead in the summer so it practally dirt by now
for sure.Looking_Up - 20-6-2009 at 11:18 AM

Anyone gonna be at SLP this saturday for the 4th?? I'm a newbie so would like to see some pro actions so I can learn some pointers.
thanks.dylanj423 - 1-7-2009 at 01:40 PM
first tip is avoid kiting on the beach on major holidays. too many people in the way... you from houston?
welcome to the forum, btwnerd - 2-7-2009 at 05:56 AM
I moved to sugarland from rockport about 8 years ago but have never been to SLP before. I will be going down there with a buddy for the 4th. Been
flying 2 and 4 string competition kites for years but never a power kite. Looks like a fun sport. I'm starting to collect some kites and boards.
Also looking for a buggy if any got an extra forsale ... cheap... Houston AirHead - 11-7-2009 at 10:30 PM
Ive only been kiting for about a year now but ive been noticing how thermally it is here in south texas in the summer. Ive been having a few good
sessions on my landboard but im realizing if im going ride smoother wind im going to have to make my way down to galveston. Any one going soon.?dylanj423 - 11-7-2009 at 10:57 PM

I might make it down, I need a final session or two before I pack up and drive to Florida. I hear the sand is very soft above the
tide line so be careful..........ajTaper123 - 12-7-2009 at 09:53 AM
I'm taking a half a day off on tuesday and would love to go... but no can do... ya'll have fun.Houston AirHead - 12-7-2009 at 02:11 PM

Hmm sounds pretty good to me.
Im pretty sure i can make it but i will let you know monday for sure if i am going to head out. San louis pass? Isnt it too sandy for
buggying/landboarding. Do you ever go to east beach?dylanj423 - 12-7-2009 at 08:25 PM
i do go to east beach.... the hardpack at san luis is wider, and smoother, and there is more area to buggy on
east beach is okay, but san luis is far better, imo..... further, but worth the drivekitemaker4 - 13-7-2009 at 07:36 AM
East beach is off limits during the summer. It is too crowded and I know in the past they would not let you buggy there in the summer. You are
better off going to slp right now.
Susan (npw goddess)action jackson - 13-7-2009 at 07:43 AM
East beach has more poles than ever! Maybe 200+ now and all the sand washed out on the channel side of the jetty.$8 dollar charge too! The glory days
of east beach are gone! ...................ajdylanj423 - 13-7-2009 at 08:15 AM
i was wondering when they were going to start charging to get on east beach again.... and the number of pole is pretty ridiculous, but at least there
arent 50 trucks blazing up and down the beach anymore!Houston AirHead - 13-7-2009 at 08:15 PM
grrr i thought i was going to be able to make it out tuesday , looks like im not going to be able because of a job interview. have a good time!
One
day I'll rememberr that the lotion only works if APPLIED not just sitting in the truck.
