That school is the only one I have found with that much open area. That is only 1 of 2 massive fields that surround the school. The only drawback is
I can't use it through the week and the grass is very thick. I'm thinking they will eventually expand or build in one of the areas but I'm not sure.
I stumbled across it driving around for work and I almost drove off the road when I saw it.
Do you have any multiple field soccer complexes you can use?
I'd love to make it to all of the events. Wildwood and jibe are both 12 hours away and they both happen when I'm getting busy for work. I'll figure
out a way to make it eventually.
ssayre, have you tried your Peak in the buggy yet? I was out in mine at the weekend. Wind was really light (5-7mph) but I was still able to buggy on
the grass by looping the kite. I couldn't stay upwind most of the time, but during a few gusts I noticed it would go upwind *really* easily!

Yes, I have used the peak in the buggy. With my thick grass and my weight, I need more wind than what I had on Saturday. A sustained gust/wind
always helps me go upwind no matter what kite I'm using. Power is the key to making it upwind more than the kite in inland gust/lull conditions. I
was slightly underpowered at times on Saturday and I was slowly giving up ground with each tack. As soon as the wind picked up, I made up all the
ground I had lost in one upwind tack. This has been the case with me no matter what kite I have ever used. I think the only time I would be able to
tell the true difference in upwind ability between kites is if I was at the beach in some clean wind and hard pack sand.
My local spot is two soccer fields together. Its not much, bit it works.
Been a mud pit for over a month...
Yeah, Sean... Inquiring minds want to know. Lets get a Rag Flapper Division of the JWC moving at JIBE... COME ON!!! Pretty sure Randy's probably gonna
be there too.
Right now it's a maybe unfortunately. I'm still sorting out our schedule around that time. Also, not to get too deep, but I've been dealing with
some anxiety issues that have turned into a fear of driving. I have never had any type of mental issues before and I don't know how this came about.
I have no problem driving on the roads and interstates around the city and surrounding areas but have had a hard time on less familiar roads. I have
driven all over the country in the past and know my fears are irrational. It's something I'll get over, but has me really humiliated at the moment.
Get there if you can, bud. I can talk Itay into leaving a seat empty in his car and we can swing by and pick you up on our way down south You might have to fly back though if you don't feel like staying the whole week. I
plan on going down Friday evening before and not coming back till the following Sunday.

Thanks Errol. We've had a lot of expenses the last year and some big ones coming up with one going to college in the fall. It's making it hard to
justify kite purchases and kite expeditions. It has felt like someone is holding me by the ankles upside down and shook until everything but the lint
has fallen out of my pockets. I'll let you know.
It's a slow day at the office and it's windy. I'm going to go try streetkite buggy on gravel on shorties. Haven't done that yet and it's starting to
weigh heavy on me. :D
