Shh... Summit, not Access! Don't let Itay hear you call it an Access!

I have had two mini crappy light wind sessions in the last three months. And I mean LIGHT wind. Like wind so light that my 19m Speed 3 deluxe backstalled to the ground while fully trimmed in... I can't wait to get on that Jekyll hard pack and see how the Big Brownie handles in her high end. There will be much sideways buggy action.

We are waiting for y'all. I see rooster tails of sand in the near future!

And huge splashes from those tide pools.

Or at least some good long scuff marks.

Thinking of you today Errol.

Oh brother, we are on the same page! It has literally been since Thanksgiving since I have had a Yuengling!

:D

I love those tide pools as well. A good cool off on a hot afternoon.

Angus, is there a car wash at the gas station on the island, where we can rinse off our gear? One with a wand sprayer?

Jason, are those new tires on your bug?

no car wash. bring hose

rinse off showers at park and maybe a spigot as i remember somewhere.

definitely need the showers ...there may be a sweating situation!

man thats hot ...

Right next to the large pavilion there’s a rinse off shower. Or as I like to call it, a regular shower. There’s no water hookups for the Kitefort, so Pokite and I try to conserve water. I shower “al fresco” at the rinse off unit. Nothing like a cold shower after a day of buggying!
To keep from being arrested, I wear a bathing suit. Areas north and south of the suit are easy to wash. It’s the stuff under the suit that takes some strategy.

That's the only reason I didn't leave my buggy at kite fort last year. Our cottage had an outside shower with a garden hose next door to rinse off my buggy and other gear every evening after the tidal pools. My buggy is steel, not stainless.

Davis, I had those tires and rims last year. I picked them up from Van too.

No but I can point you to several on the mainland in any direction of travel.
Good point, though. I'll ask around if there is a landscaper's hose faucet near the kite fort that we could use ( I could bring a hose). The lawn in front of the kite fort is shaped like a bowl with a storm drain at the center for great drainage.

there use to be a spigot right near the bench in kite beach parking lot (finn/ blackbeards whatever restaurant parking lot). i do recall it NOT being there last year. but there is one at great dune at great Pavilion at restrooms beside the showers. its a handleless service bib so bring access hardware.

this may be the oldest "event" pic i have the first official event i think. had some day meets earlier but can't remember when

angus and yours truly, 9-27-2008


ATB action Venom stack 13/16

Epic Phree!!!!

Spencer, don't you have one of square keys that turns out side water faucets on and off?

A key, a hose and a drain. Almost heaven.
Keep that Kite Fort full so Frank can keep his North & South parts clean.

right on 3Shot ,seems like last week. davis your concern for clean parts has expanded

Paragraph 9 sub section C of the Kite Fort code of conduct states that ..."Cleaning of ALL parts BETWEEN North & South parts shall be conducted using the outside shower and shall take no more than 10 seconds...."

Just want to be sure their are no ... violations

PHREE do you still have those Coyotes? I think I saw you get them out last year, but you never put them on your feet. I want to give those a shot in a couple weeks to see if my skating legs will work with a kite...

yep still have them, still have same flat tires. i have tubes best i remember. should all be still stuffed in the boots. i will bring, pump and tools in truck. kind of a self serv situation with those. if the wind is crappy today maybe i'll go on rampage of repair.

No I don't... sorry. But you can buy them at most hardware stores.

Only thing is, that style of hose bib is usually used when the OWNER doesn't want the general public to have access to their water... so if guys want to access and use that spigot, you'll probably want to get Angus to get JIA permission first... just sayin

Even though I really don't want to suffer the smell of FranS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s North and South parts, it's not entirely up to me

Two weeks to go!!!!!!!!
Sweet southern Georgia sand!!

I am just over the moon excited for this to start!

I spent the weekend going over all my gear and making some repairs. My wife called me "Obsessed" with Kiting and JIBE....

Just because I ate one or two meals sitting in my kite buggy in my garage I get labeled...

Because they don't fly kites.

Pumped up like an arc,
Another buggy in the night,
Blinded by the kite!

yep, ok somebody bring the melody .
