Can't make it. Have fun bud.

Had an awesome afternoon at sandy point! wind was not from the best location (out of the east) would have been better with more south in it. But I made the best of it flying my 7m Montana which when it was full powered up was a little over powering latter in the day. Today was the first time I really successfully used depower in my buggy. I definitely like the "gas pedal" effect of pulling in the bar. The only bad thing was all the mud, goose #@%$#!, and crashing the kite in the muddy water, ick. Off to try cleaning my kite.

How does Sandy point compare to west potomac park for landboarding? Are the winds cleaner because its on the water? How about size and obstacles?

I've never been to west potomac so I don't know. The wind is very clean since its coming off the bay. The best wind is out of the south west. Occasionally the wind gets turbulent down near the bridge but its not bad.

Oh yeah the size its not huge but the grass along the beach makes for a good run. Plus their is the bonus of the parking lots if you dare. The lots are fast in a buggy just don't try to slide it won't work real well. I have done it on a small kit on my longboard which was also fun in the lots.

Hopefuly I'll get to check it out sometime soon. I need to fly somewhere besides west potomac.

Helly all. Im a nice boy from PA. I fly a controversial brand of kites so i hope no one here cares. I hope i can get together and fly with some of you and can fit in As otheres i have met around seem to be very mean. Please U2U me if you would like to be my friend.

Hey Snowone, been trying to u2u, but it keeps saying the u2u you are trying to save is empty, whatever. e-mail me I don't care what you fly. I'll be your friend!

Thanx you B-Loo. I dont know why my U2U does not work. I see you are from NY. I have heard tug hill is good for snowkiting. Maybe i might have the skills to join you sno kiting this year.

Snowone-
If you dont mind a bit of a hike, you are always welcome to join us in the DC area, or in Wildwood when we head out there. I really dont care what kind of kites you fly.

Thank you ragden. Im glad no one cares, because i fly the best!

Hmmm..."SNOwone"... "from PA"...endorsing "controversial kites"...once falsely accused of having a "doctorate" as well perhaps?
Hell, you're welcome anywhere I fly - or at least, attempt to fly at.
...(just don't leave your pumps out along the runways!)

I dont know anything about that Lad. Im only allowed to kite and have fun.

FUN is what it's all about...even if we bring our own inflated expectations into it!

Watch it lad ,you might offend me and ill report you.

Rain

Grumble, grumble, grumble....

Hopefully not a soaking rain that takes days for the fields to dry out and orphans gophers. :ticking:

ATB,
Sam

@ Lad I was thinking the same thing...

@Snowone, welcome! What part of PA are you from?

Im in the south east Todd.

I feel like im missing some kind of joke?

Snobdr was completely attacked by other users. They then removed their posts when they knew they were in the wrong. Snobdr took nothing but abuse because of the kites he flys. Isnt this America where a person can speak his mind? Snobdr helped me and many others on this forum and would go out of his way to help others. It is an outrage that he is now banned from this site because a small few dont have ANY sence of humor at all.

Can we have a moment of silence for out fallen comerade.

:wow:

Wait... WTF did I miss while I was in San Diego?!?

I can't believe this. What does it take to get back on the forum?

He wasn't "fallen" - just relocated under the Witness Protection Act...you know...new name and all that kind of stuff...

Welcome Snowone! hope to run into you at WW, I''m sure you've heard about it!

Going to west potomac tomorow afternoon at around 3, as long as the forecast holds up. Anyone else going to be there?

Cant make it today, and this weekend does not look very good. High tide in wildwood is going to be right around noon on Sunday (the only day I will be available to ride), so that isnt very condusive to riding there either. Also a good chance of rain on Sunday. Might be a good day to kick back and watch movies/play computer games...

If rains hold off, Sandy Point might be rideable, but it would be sketchy at best. Not nearly enough East in the wind to make it really rideable. Who knows, we might luck out though...

Finally got out to fly my depower today. It wasn't exactly a good session, but I was just glad to get everything set up right and have enough wind to keep it in the air at times. The GI prodigy that arrived today is great, and I love the new bindings, even though they haven't been really put to the test. Thanks nfleech. Other than that, I hope for more wind over the weekend.

You heading out tomorrow? Think Sunday is when the rain is moving back in :sniff:

ATB,
Sam

Forecast is for basically no wind, so probably not.

Got my 11m Neo today from angus at coastalwindsports.com can't wait to try it out. I hope there is some wind tomorrow!!!:tumble:
