I haven't tossed this out yet but need to get it out there to see if anyone wants to join in. We will be at Edisto Island in South Carolina from April 4th thru the 9th. We will be camping at the north end of the island where the beaches are unobstructed. Lets hope for some good onshore winds and favorable tides. Acampbell is seeking a day pass from his sec. of state. Tridude says he can make it at least 1 day. My cousin and best friend airhunter will be there the whole week. He is a kiter already and looks forward to nailing down the whole buggy thing that week. Pokitetrash is loaning me a buggy so we'll have at least 2 running.

8th or 9th for me.................will be on Jekyll Island earlier in the week...................
:duh::duh:

Our spring break is the following week. Might be able to find one day to join the fun.

link has tides for 3-8 Apr...........midday lows, afternoon onshores are a good possibility:duh::duh:

Tides get more favorable through the week as well. Will be their best when you get to come tridude.

Not going to be able to make it. We're working on 4 different movies right now and that week is going to be crazy! How about next weekend? Is anyone up for Folly?

I'm at NABX up to April 5th, then with visiting family in town through the next weekend.

5 days out now. Tides improve though the week. I will be doing some body dragging when the beach goes away. Buggy when I can roll. Depower when they will fly.

the water has been nice spring got me through 3-4 hours yesterday the sun was out the whole afternoon. since your going to be in the water a full2/3 gonna be choice.
Remember FLOAT PLAN, so everything floats to a reasonable landing.

the tidal flow and your bobbin in the water(that is a word right) affects the kite if it's light keep it active, expect stalling.

make the kite be a secure line in the air. make some passes and let it pluck you out of the water once you get the feel .. down wind drag in both directions. take your time so it not to rough at first. once i got the hang of it i would 1/4 mile out and back, its good practice. practice idling the kite and control position (a board will give more control)when you ready

fun is on the way!

Ill be there Sat afternoon----Cooper River Bridge 10k in the am, picking up a LF proof 151 at noon or so then headed your way...............................

Let the karma flow and the wind blow then.:wee:

fri gonna be good day WSW. 15-20 maybe more.

I might take a night run if light, wind and tide allow. Who needs sleep?

wind mapper has winds west at 14 mph througout the evening...........................:duh::duh:
see you Sat afternoon.............................................

sleep is overrated............Ill get all I need once Im dead...................

Next time you guys head out to one of the beaches near Charleston let me know. I have a friend who is wanting to get into the sport. I told him I have some freinds who would hook him up with some help and maybe let him test out a kite!!
