:duh::duh:

calling for snow Friday am and purdy darn chilly Saturday (chilly for here) winds are looking stronger Sunday on the forecasts (windmapper,wxundergnd, pdfamily) Can anyone else do Sunday if Saturday doesnt blow?:shocked2::puzzled::o

I can do Sunday no problem. I Live here! :cool2: If it's cold, I'll make the chille hotter!

Guys, it's not looking good for this weekend. :ticking: Max wind about 8mph. Usually means a couple less at OOBE. I think we need to shoot for next weekend. Does next weekend work, or weekend after better ?

I'm still game to try for Sunday if the forecast changes though.

Here's the local weather link:

Ive got two ASTs (anti skunk tools/19m SA2 and 17m SA1.5) that work well in 8/9 mph.....................I spoke with Angus Wednesday and he also has a nice AST so let me know................................:duh::duh:

Lets do it then! I'll borrow your toys. Saturday or Sunday?

Saturday is actually starting to look like 8-10mph from 1p - 4p.

Sat roll call...............

Sat roll call...............

Sunday is better for me...seems like the wind might be better Sunday too!

Either for me . Or Both!!

I'm in for Saturday and will keep options open for Sunday. What time is low tide? ...oh, nevermind. But what time you guys meet? I'll bring the kitemobile for sure!

I actually laughed out loud on that one! The tide is always low there. minus 270 as I recall.

Kite Dog, looks like it's on for Saturday. Try to make it if you can. You're welcome to come fly with me on Sunday if you can't make Saturday.

I'll be out there with the Pot -O-Chilli at noon. Anyone needs to communicate, my cell is 803-645-4442.

BeamerBob, it just won't be right without you. Miss you Bro. Not in a gay way though. Although we did have a nice Bro'mance for a while!! :D

Fellas, it's gonna be chilly (around low 40's) so put your long johns on and your purses down and fly!

Gonna miss you guys on Saturday. Hey Don...can you and Nate make it out on Sunday?

I just got the go ahead for Saturday......................................................Its Sat or bust for me, sorry Kitedog...............what is show time for Saturday?

Come out any time, I'll be there around 11 getting the chilli going and setting up. The wind builds some throughout the day and drops off after 4.

Kite Dog, how far are you from Aiken? I need a new semi local kite buddy. My last one was so humbled by my kiting awesomeness that he fled to Cailifonia. I need a new beeeotch!

mgatc, Phree? Wassup?

I'm a good three hours from Aiken. Looks like I'm going to miss all the fun. Damn! Might have to save my pass for a beach day.

maybe sunday, work stuff keeping me close

I think we'll be coming on Sunday. I'm going to bring a couple of newbs so have some of those releases ready. See you around noon. Hope you guys have fun tomorrow!

You guys just don't know how many strings I had to pull to get out from under this guys shadow. You mention kites in Augusta and everyone just says "kites? You know Chris? I hear he's awesome!

You guys have fun whenever you are getting together this weekend!

showtime.......................cars packed!

gone

Today was a good day guys! Winds 7-14 mph on and off. Wind died completely around 5 though. Several ARCS, great training for me on the 15 M Phantom. Learned alot from you guys. Thanks!!!

Angus had a chance to experience the reason why the place is called OOBE field. Got spanked and dragged cause of an equipment issue during a gust, no horse poo in the face though. You got lucky on that one Angus!! Got a friend of mine in a buggy and I think he'll do well. He's a really big guy and he was static flying first, #@%$#! slapping a 5 meter Flow and then a 5 meter Crossfire in winds that we could have buggied with it in. It was fun watching him.

Angus, Don, Chad, great day with you guys! See some others tomorrow, Kitedog and his buds.

Still have plenty of Chilli. Any one else ready for a road trip? Thanks to my wife, great chilli Babe! Good pics to post tomorrow or so.

later,

Po

I thought about you guys several times today. That's awesome so many of you got together and had some wind too. Good luck with the wind tomorrow.

What happened to Angus? Which kite got him?

I got yarded by the Synergy 15m. In the gusty wind the kite luffed and got a line wrapped around the bar while the kite was in the sun and I could not see what was going on (that's the story I'll stick to anyway). It started to spiral and really power up with constant kite loops so I dumped the kite on the top-hat, but the Velcro on the self landing handle (not factory stock) held on too tight so the bar would not release and flag the kite. It continued to kiteloop while I got up close and personal with the field grass while taking a Nantucket Sleigh ride down the field towards Chris. I eventually got it tamed and sorted.

Chris, thanks for being such a great host. 300 friggin' acre field, propane burner for the chili pot and lots of refreshments and snacks. Great to see everybody. I'll be back. Aiken Kite Club rocks! SoFKA rules.

all good on the field, nice spot. def crush velvet feel on the turf, felt like carpet. the fine dead clippings have cool slick feel on the beefy bent grass turf root bed. very nice. the horses gotta nice playground .

Great to see everyone. chilli was right on. thanks Chris for the warm spot . nice ride guys!

So this will become the First Annual OOBE Field Chili Run!

Maybe it'll become on the level with JIBE, or NABX!! :bigok:
