I am sorry but it looks like I will not be able to make it. I hope you all have fun without me. I may be able to come up there there sept 2-5, will anyone be there a bit early?

I imagine there will be several people out at least by the 4th. I'll be there 4-5-6 and 10-11-13. Just might have some coho and /or steelhead to contribute too, Jon.

I and AD72 are planning for the entire week starting Sunday (9/5) (Saturday's going to be nothing but driving) on through to the following Saturday (9/11).

Looking forward to it kiting by land or water buggy, board or boat.
Need some music for the long car ride. I've got A Short History of Nearly Everything on disk.
Hey Dagon! What gives? Bob and Dakitez better not bag out now!

Not looking good for me, but I've last minute saves before.

Noooo!

@ Bob,

I'm sure we can come up with some excuse for you.

I think there's a conference you have to attend that just happens to be taking place at the same time, and what luck it's being held in Astoria! Unbelievable luck! Who would have guessed.

Just let me know what subject matter I need to cover when I send your confirmation info and our tri-fold brochure on the conference.

And who said we never help each other out.
:saint:

The problem is that I have enough kite stuff in the garage that she would definitely notice it missing. I might pull it off once but then the questions would start next time. "So how close is this dry lake bed to Vegas? What are you really doing down there?" There is still some hope to do it legit. CSA, I figured you'd already helped me out and just called my wife directly for me since I helped you out with the pushup regimen. :shocked2: :saint:

Looks like I won't be coming this year .
I hope to see some of you at Dead Bird.

steve.

Steve say it isn't so! You are such a regular that I will be looking around for you all the time. Give the wife and baby a hug for us.

Steve you will be missed. You played a big part in making my first SOBB so much fun.

And for saving my suv from the surf...:shocked2:

Who's going to watch out for my stuff now?? It's always great to have you out Steve and hopefully won't be long before you are out again. I am considering making it out that way for DBBB. Just not sure yet.

Now I'll have to find a different car to gift wrap

What is it with us from the North-West and gift wrapping things? :P:P

They'll be a 15m phantom and 10m pulse to try...

How many buggies can we hook together and simultaneously power? I've seen two. I can't see a reason why we can't do four I've got a 2.5 for the caboose! Sand also seems like a fun place for 1 pilot + 1 passenger + 1 buggy...:wow:

who's getting car skirted this time?

lol, new challenge i have my team (kitebuggy mama, coolbreeze and myself)

only girl i know that is willing to hold on at 86km/h with limited safety gear.

looks like ill be back and fourth to the event, flyin in on a friday and leaving on sunday for both weekends. anyone want to be my limo too?

what kind of gear would you need to haul, rip? I live like 5 mins from PDX, but with an extra passenger, I'd need help hauling gear myself (why did I buy a kia?)

Hope you guys have a great time. I wish I was coming and will be thinking about the event. I wish you guys perfect weather and enjoy the duck farts and oysters at camp. Make a run down to the Iredale for me.

If anyone decides to come down to DBBB, let me know what you need and I will set you up.

Have a blast,
Steve.

Sorry guys, but I need to spend that week with my son considering I only see him every other week. I would love to bring him up but he would have to miss too much school and he already misses 3 days every year for NABX.

Damb Dagon, I missed out on meeting you at NABX this year. Guess I'll have to wait. Have fun with your son. We will miss ya.

Too bad you guys are not coming
As to me and Pasha (who is the same age as Kiah) the more time I spend with him outside of the *prison* the healthier he will be, the better childhood he ll have

Buggies, burgers, and beer! Doesn't get any better!

Looks like folks had a chance to learn freestyle from the BEST !
Mom turned 80. She has been good about me choosing SOBB over her Birthday but this was a big one . I will miss you all !

KEEP THOSE PHOTOS COMING !!!!!!!!!!

ENE wind? Is it really so?

Had a great time everyone. I maybe back for Sunday but I have to Work Monday. So no overnight trip for me. It was great to see all the kites in the air at the same time. Great meeting everone again. Hope to see you Sunday.

Thanks for posting the photos Archkiter. Man I wish I was there...
Hope everyone had a great time.

Steve.

Me and my son Pasha had a blast! I had my first tandem in a buggy with Brian: duo flying, loved it! (thanks B!) There is sure a lot of work to fly synchronized but the joy in feedback is indescribable.
It was super fun riding with Eli in a tandem buggy as a passenger, I only wish he went much faster and made sharper turns :roll:
We also went to Pacific City (Cape Kiwanda) and Area B for flying. Thank you to Steve for taking us and showing places!
We also met local paragliding club/company and school Discover Paragliding (Brad and Maren), they towed us. I flew Brian on a tandem!!! To 3300', high and cold
Pasha (13) launched off the dune on 15m speed glider
To Dagon: and he didn't miss a single day of school :P
We really missed you and Kiah, hopefully next year you guys will make it
I have a little bit of photos on my fb and also Steve took some
...yes i did liked a slug... :frog:
