NAPKA Event - 26-28 July - Long Beach, WA!!


Head's UP for those of you who don't have any plans next weekend!! Cranberry-Oysterville (Long Beach)

Beach has been nice and wide, packed and open, approaches well groomed....and Northwest Wind abundant!!

Here's a peek out Sid Synder Approch (Closed)

This should be an interesting view during Kite Festival (hope we get same area to play in) right in camera view!!

I've also shot a calendar event up to the kind crew at www.funbeach.com and they were happy to post it.

I also have the following weekend (pending) permit 2-4 Aug in the works.

Post a reply if you're coming... Thanks again Morrie and the NAPKA crew for doing what you do!!

ROCK ON!!

Approach and Pics


Cranberry is groomed and graveled almost to the hard-pack. 2WD access should be no problem.

Wide spot on the beach just North of the approach looks like great place for base-camp. ;)

This event was lightly attended. Saturday I was the only flyer with a drive by of crazyherb. Winds were west at 6-8 mph allowing long runs from cranberry north. Winds dropped of to 4-5 mph early afternoon.

Sunday it was only crazyherb and I. Winds were wsw 8-10 mph for an hour or so before dropping off to 4-6.

Had some good sailing with very few people on the beach.
