Just say the word and I will bring my 9m Blade II for you. A sweet low wind kite that you can beat up and I won't blink !

Peek out my office window (from just across the river from Sunset)...pretty and CALM....





(SouthWest wind dance in full effect now) Shake it!!

bladerunner, that would be awesome. I would really enjoy flying something different! Thanks man! So i'll see you guys there!

ps, i'm only coming for the day on saturday....

Is the parking for the river area, (don't know if it has a regular name) the same as it has always been. Small little lot off of town. I've been in there with my Van before but not sure about navigating that area with my Van and trailer. Other options? Hoping to get in early enough Friday to fly for a bit. But we will see. Forecast looks NE Friday ideas?

Hey Chris,

I'm happy to loan most of my gear. While this Blade has a pretty small range it is a great engine. Had it for years and never been spanked by it !
I'll be sure and toss it in ! Jeff will like to see the shampoo job so it is win, win !

:bigok:

PS bring your own KK if you find you need them.

today the wind did not blow, it sucked.

Flecht - Yes there is a small turnaround and good side streets to park your van and trailer.


Looking forward to seeing you all!
See ya at Sunset

I am here watching the lighting storm pass through. :shocked2:

As well as the 1/2 inch of hail

alright, who brought this hail shower with them? It was nice n clear till I got back from Rockaway Beach this afternoon.

Sorry...my Southwest rain dance kicked off a hail storm...
Shake the wrong way and all heck breaks loose...

Tomorrow will be better...just needed to get it out of it's system..

:roll:

I'm kinda thinking that since the forecasters didn't mention this hail storm, that perhaps they will also be wrong about the forecasted E winds for tomorrow

Looks about right to me?

I'm not responsible for the hail. The light snow in the mountains didn't follow me. This storm came from onshore. So, tomorrow should be great. Right?

I looked at a beach cam and thought it was snow! Good thing it was only hail.

Sunset Jim how is the entry to the beach?

Thanks for the wind dance Herb, things are looking good!

See ya at Sunset!

Chris C1

Apre' hail ... l sand ski ! No Problem !

I am packing the car and headed out !

Sunset Beach entrance has been graveled and leveled. Great now we got low riders on the beach!

33 degrees outside this am, a few clouds, showers this pm. Anybody that is frozen today stop by as I will be next to the heater?......

well it was good seeing you all, too bad there was no wind. See you in the Spring!

The flying was not great, but three days on the beach in relative sunshine was incredible. I think Saturday was warmer than some of the days I was down for in June or September. Awesome to see everyone. Thanks for suggesting it, Bugeyed.

It was great to see you all at the beach yesterday. So nice of some of you guys to drive so many miles.
What a beautiful day, i saw a temp of 50 degrees in Seaside!
I wish you guys didn't have to live so far away

Take care
Chris C1

It was good to see you all this weekend. To bad you all left early, the wind showed up today. As soon as the video is done loading you all can see what you missed.

In case someone posts any pics of me dancing or of the sand ditches, it's all a setup, it wasn't me, I had nothing to do with any of it.

It was nice to stand around and tell stories and lies for the day. I know I had a great time.

A bad day at the beach is better than the best day at work. Wait a minute, this is my work.
A bad day at the beach is a good day at work. Yeah thats what I meant to say.

Nice video Big Kid. Great choice of music; are you trying to give a little culture the group? Sort of like adding yeast to the wort when making beer.
How many rods did you guys break?

I don't listen to much music anymore and I have no idea of how to get some with out paying. So if youtube is willing to give it for free and it is already there, it's a no brainier. Besides, I didn't recognize any of the bazillion songs and artists that were listed except a few of the oldies. But you are correct, our group needs a bit of culture.

Gerald broke only one tube and it was the ferrules so it will be a easy fix.

Would have been a great day for the kite drags, but nobody had the nerve to try it out.
I was talking to a couple that decided NOT to do a downwinder and put his kite away, but asked about the small foils we fly. I showed him a 2m NPW on just bridle and handles. Bad Move, butt scudding at 35mph is very hard on the jeans. But what a rush, so I guess I am the winner, the world champion, the best in the west, the undefeated champ. I am the Mohamed Ali of Kite Drags. just glad I stopped before I ended up with this:moon:
Think I will hit the trophy shop later today and have a big 4 foot high trophy made up. I am the Greatest..
