Kiteproject or any Massachusetts flyers: Is anyone going to this and is it worth it? I am thinking of heading up.

didnt make it ,meeting a friend from nh. had a wicked good time at nahant ma. i think my friend dan met you .that beach is 3 miles long ,sweet when conditions are right.

Double- Where are you located, in Ma? And yes, I did meet Dan- he was the only other person there with a buggy or ATB. The event was more a general fly day rather than powerkiters but it made us stand out

I still have yet to fly at Nahant- I just got my new car set up with my buggy rack so I am ready to go! Google Mayflower beach in Dennis Ma on Google maps- Incredible beach. Rumor has it you can buggy 8 miles without stopping!

so do i look for north winds for dennis, haf to do it before the crowds come i reside in peabody.

dan me ,rick had a wicked nice nite .high speed runs smooth beach.had some close calls but you got to push yourself to get better.crash and learn by bob childs method.

Did you go to Mayflower? If not where? Next time you guys come down to the Cape let me know so we can meet up-

I vacation in Eastham and have always thought Skaket Beach in Orleans has nice sand for boarding and buggying - just watch out for that big rock in the middle :alien:

I need to get out to the Cape then. see who i run into. M only like 1hr away from Hyannis:tumble:

I just read this thread and would've loved to go!

It's raining in Boston today and wet conditions are forecasted for the weekend. So, this weekend will be spent sulking and day dreaming about kiting.

Sounds like we should all try to meet up before the tourists invade! How about mid-June/ According to the tide charts the best weekend is the 28th with a 1:15 low tide. The next best is the 14th with a 3pm low. You usually can get a 2 hour before and after lowtide buffer in there also. If interested let me know. Heres a couple pics of Mayflower beach:

I am up for it!

Can you U2U me the "tide chart" URL/web site?

Also, weather has cleared up for tomorrow; it will be windy (16+mph). I am going to be at Nahant Beach tomorrow. I just hope my quiver can handle the winds.

here's a great site for local tide charts http://boatma.com/tides/

where I'm at it says RAIN all day and 20-30mph winds for saturday:alien:. but sunday should be good 14mph winds and sunny

ya whats sundays weather i could make it.my tide chart says10.57 am ? but it moms day .need to no the weather before i come down . i can do 20-30 wind but its frighting.

brian thanks i like that tide chart.im old school, have west marine book.

kite project could set you up with some kites at nahant if the weather clears up.

I am working tomorrow so I am out! B-roc uses the same tide chart that I use.

had a surprisingly good time at nahant ma. was'nt expecting the wind to be that nice.met kiteproject there.wicked good time for me ,kitesurfers wanted me to some tricks started off with a720 then360s then fell into reverse 180s ,high speed .i like them a lot now 25 mph sweet. nice but not as fast as ziggys.heading down to the cape 5-11 -08 going check out mayflower beach.oh yea save a kite surfers life ,brian you owe me a coffee for life.

Sounds like a good day. I thought of going up today - wish I joined you.

Doublespeed- weather here is excellent 8:27 am- 48* winds out of the north to northeast at 15 MPH. perfect for mayflower! Let us know your "beach review" I guess my "private beach" has been discovered!

first off it was a gorgeous day , but of course ,it was mothers day. hope everbody praise theirs.went to chappin beach first that is huge.took some pics then went to mayflower thought the wind direction be better.notice right off its going to be bumpy.dont know if it like that all the time.got there at 11 low tide saw a kitesurfer on a mt board ask him any soft spots/were is it smooth.had a good time locals love it.had some kinda long runs ,got wicked soak lots of gully washes,had to slow down, some were deep.if i go again its got to be north ,dead on,2+hours before low tide.started with a 3meter went to a .4

Rippled sand is common there- and yes- the wind needs to be north or south for perfect runs. I like the gullies! keeps you looking for dropouts. it can be challenging getting all the factors right but when they do- it is an awesome beach!

I always like to spend my vacations in Skaket beach, Orleans, because it has nice sand.

I vacation in Eastham every year (just got back actually) and frequent Skaket Beach regularly (after dinning at the Jailhouse).

The sand is very nice but there are often large tidal pools and its popular with those who like to watch the sunset. It can be bumpy and there is a big rock to avoid. It can only be used at low tide since there is not enough beach at high tide and the sand on the beach itself is super soft and not good for buggys or boards.

My guess is that its good for 2 hours before and after dead low. Maybe 3 - but you will get wet.

Nevertheless the guy who used to own the Kite Gallery in Welfleet said there were folks who would buggy there.

I prefer locations where I don't have to get wet.
