Sorry, my female can't make it due to work. She also insists that she wouldn't have anything to do, since she only flies little one line kites (you have no idea how hard I've tried to change that).

have her call my wife...:ticking:

Why? Will your wife convince her that kites are more fun with more lines? I could only hope.
Wouldn't help for Wildwood anyway, since she would still have to work.

My current SO will be there for part of 1 or 2 days - and I have to figure out how I will get her my promised ride on my little ST Comp (might have to look up Dillon or Brian's tow service) ;-).

She will also bring her new camera - which is not a bad way for non-flying femmes to stay interested.

Having family members put up 1-liners or flying sport kites up the beach is not a bad way of making it all more festive (and marking our territory!)

My wife will be coming. She has flown a 3m beamer III once in really low winds. She had a blast. I am hoping to get her on something while we are down there, but she spends most of her time taking pictures and just sitting around. She is Korean, and isnt very comfortable speaking english (her english is FINE, but she wouldnt admit that). It would be very cool if she had someone to hang out with.

We will definitely be setting up the buggy tow service at some point. I know Todd has the hookups for it as well as Brian...

i`ll be bringing my tow rig too.
i`m the one who made brians.
i checked my buggy tires for air yesterday and all is good.
i`ll be there sometime thursday afternoon. hope to get there early
enough to do some runs on thursday.

I gave mine to Brian however I installed a net on the back of the buggy just for that purpose... RIDES, and hauling gear to and from the beach.

I wont be getting in until late Thursday night, but I'll be on the beach as soon as I can Friday morning...

My wife and all my kids are coming. My wife doesn't fly yet!! My 13 yr old daughter has a sting 2.4 on a bar she flies. I hope to try my son out on a sting 1.8 on Saturday. He is 6 and it will be his first time. My youngest is only four, she will be not be flying.
We have made a nice little weekend getaway of it. We will arrive Friday night to the campground so it will not be until Saturday for us.

I just put big tires on my eolo buggy. It looks like it is on steroids now. can't wait!!!
Look forward to meeting everyone!
See you all there!

My wife will be there. She had some time snowkiting at the ned of last year.

We will have a grill available for use while we are down there. I will be bringing some hot dogs & buns. If you want hamburgers, or any other special requests, then someone will need to pick them up. Looks like we might have the grill all three days. I will also have a tent to setup so we have some shade to kick back in. Feel free to bring your own chairs, coolers, or whatever else you think you might need. Three more days.

I haven't seen the Reflex yet, I'm really hoping that it will show up in time. I can't wait to meet you all. Here's hoping for some good winds :bigok: I feel sorry for my co-worker. He won't be able to make it until Saturday.

I have the Reflex!!! It will be at Wildwood for those who wish to try it.

I have the Libre Spirit for those brave enough to try...:o


That thing kicked my butt yesterday

Wow! I havent been on here for a while......been missing alot. Been paying more attention to our www.njbuggyclub.com site..... I didnt realize how much chatter was going on about the buggy bash,,, this is great. Well anyway, it all looks good for this coming weekend, As ragden wind direction determines location. It will be either what we call "The Pier" or "Apollo Beach" or "North Beach". We Will give exact locations as it gets closer, however it is close isn't it? The Pier is located in Wildwood Crest its right around Crocus Ave or just look for the fishing pier which is about 3 blocks past the South End of the boardwalk. Apollo beach is about 10 or so blocks South of that,,, I think its ST. Paul Ave in wildwood crest. Good reference point for any of these would be the big kites in the sky. Then North Beach is located at the North end of North Wildwood. it actually runs east to west as the other beach areas run north and south. Good way to find North Beach is to drive North on Atlantic Ave to 2nd Ave and then go East toward the ocean actually to "Ocean Ave" thats it. Now as far as vehicles,,,, the parking meters are not working now so you dont have to pay them. You can not drive your vehicles on the beach,,,,,without a permit and the permits are only given out to people who are fishing.... I have a permit so my vehicle will be down there. So I can tranport any heavy items like the grill and tents and such. As said before it looks like chance of rain is around right now but that can change,,, we have had worse reports before and made out really good.....so lets see what happens......looking forward to seeing everyone there. I will be bringing down a case of hamburgers and rolls, that may be about 20 I guess so if anyone else wants to bring something ,,, I guess the safest thing to do would be to bring at least enough for your own group or alittle less,,,,because we will have the hotdogs and burgers that I will have so we should be fine..... see ya there. (joe)

hope to see you all saturday, rain or shine

are there any nighttime activities- like a campfire..?:D

At least 5 of us will be driving down from Massachusettes. Can't wait to join in the buggying fun :wee:. It's been more than 10 years since I was at wildwood. Any chance one of the new PL race kites will be there? Would love to have a go on one of those. Only a couple days left, start praying to the wind gods :roll: . See you soon!

Izzat the Reflex 4 being sent around by Scudley? That's one sweet kite, and in steady wind should be an awsome buggy engine imho. And the Libre Spirit too? I think I'm on the list for that one after Todd, and WW of course. I was expecting to post my regrets, that I wouldn't be able to attend this time, but with those kites and also folks from Mass. and NH being in attendance, I don't know how I can possibly not go. Gotta rethink this...

It is the Reflex 4 that belongs to Scudley.

BOB!!! You must rethink this!! You gotta be there man!

Yes, I'll have the Libre Spirit with me.

Wow, people coming down from Mass? Thats awesome!

Night time activites are yet to be determined. I am not sure what is still open, but we might be able to pull something off. I'll do some asking around. I know we have videos from past Buggy Bashes at Wildwood (which are always fun to watch, especially the ones of people doing silly stuff, or getting dragged into the water :roll:

I'll do some asking and post again on here.
As for location, chances are good we will be either at the pier, or the Apollo area due to wind direction. As the forecast changes, I will update this post.

I would love a go on the spirit Todd. Is she fast? What size? See you all there:singing:

Heck, I'll be happy to be able to try anyone's "real" race kite while there. :smug:

This is starting to sound like a real blow-out! I will be adding a few little riding toys for others to try.

i asked about the campfire because i wanted to bring stuff for s'mores for the kiddies big an small...

Fires arent allowed on the beach. However, there is one person I know of that is staying in the campground. We could get together there one night and do a campfire. Would need to check with that specific individual though. I think its "shehatesmyhobbies", but I could be wrong...

That's my buddy Rich. I just talked to him, he said he'd be cool with it. He was already planning on bringing firewood. He's gonna check with the campground, make sure it wouldn't be an issue getting everyone in there and post up later.

Sounds entertaining. :D

Is anyone else taking the Cape May/Lewes Ferry over and/or back? Just curious. I'm on the 9:15am ride over on Friday and taking the 7pm back on Sunday.

Re-think done, planning on arriving at the Apollo around 8pm Thurs. night! Buggy boogie!!
