Bob,

Holidays are fast approaching.........................any dates and or locations you care to throw out...........................

Does this mean we have to plan a welcome meet too? Sounds like a good reason to get the group together

Hey I got my own thread too! Thanks for starting this Tridude. I was eyeing this weekend for a trip to Jekyll and then found out Angus was not going to be on the beach this weekend so turned my compass towards Charleston. Now life is caving in around me and the wind is low to no go with high tides just after lunch. Dates that still have life are the Sunday before Thanksgiving, and the weekend of December 5th. I'll pull the trigger on one of those pretty much regardless of conditions just for a chance to bid farewells to some great guys that have certainly become friends and will continue to be regardless of the 3000 or so miles. I'll listen to the drumbeat to see if one date or the other floats to the surface with conditions or ability for the most SoFKA guys to attend. I hope we can have lots of kites in the sky. Wow, the reality of this is starting to sink in.:shocked2:

I most certainly would love a chance to put some faces with names of the Nor Cal crew. Did someone mention homebrew? OH and I have this chip on my tooth...............

your clock is ticking...................OBTW can you get "sweet tea" out there.....................:duh::duh:

Nates back this weekend......Fri or Sun........depends on if he stays for the LSU game Sat.........................lets us know.........................:duh::duh:

My dates available are still the same but I see it being more likely on the weekend of December 5th. Any preferences?

Where you going Bob? Been transferred or something?

Wife's job has us transferring to California. I'll continue my job remotely.

your bash...........your call.....................JI works for me.............................:duh::duh:

December 5 weekend looks good here. All welcome. Been a while since we had the SoFKA gang down here. Let's make it a bash. Low tide at 5:00 but with the few people on the beach, it is usable after 12 noon till dark.

Ooh sunny California - that can't be all bad

Good luck Bob, I won't be able to make it down to meet you but hopefully I'll run into you at NABX someday.

Stop by ABQ on the way to Cali! I think you said something about it, but I didn't fully understand.

Depending on when your moving, I might not only be the one here with a Syn lol

Brian

no sweet tea here. I take that back Mickey D's just started offering it. If you say you want sweet tea in a restaurant they will look at you like your stupid or something and hand you some sugar packs.

sweat tea is over-rated..................sun tea is the best..........................Is Pokite still around and is he going to make your event? :puzzled::puzzled::dunno::dunno::duh::duh:

Oh dang. No sweet tay! That is one of the food groups isn't it? I'll have to get my fix at Mickey D's I guess. Mixing in sugar just isn't the same as when the tea is still hot from brewing.
I think we nail this visit down on Saturday December 5th. I'll probably come down to stay with some friends on Friday night, then head to Jekyll from about an hour away late morning. Then go till its the turtles turn to own the beach. I hope most of the regular Sofka crew can make it and any others that can get it on their schedule. I need one more ride with you guys before we get separated.

BR I'll be going through ABQ on the 15th or 16th of December in the car, so we should try to get together then. You getting an arc between now and then?

I have an Arc now, but depending on how things go, my friend might have one too, but for now he just flies FB's

I'll make sure I have nothing planned for the 15th or 16th.

Brian

BBob,

Bring your wet suit/dry suit..............................you need to try the new 165x50 if the winds are down................quite a bit more "refined" than my original plydoor.......it has a two tier stepped deck with actual foot pads and straps...............2 tip fins (heel side) from KGB kiteboarding..............:duh::duh:

I'm going to try to make it. I've got some conflicts on Saturday so I might not be able to come down until Sunday though. Will you guys still be there?

Greg

I'll throw the suits in for high tide and in case the wind is blowing down the beach. That board ought to plane my pie laden carcass pretty well. Greg, I might be able to stay the night and hit the sand again on Sunday. I'll have to see how the arrangements and obligations work out. Thanks for trying to make it, I want to see as many of you guys as I can before heading out. :bigok:

(cough/cough.......clear throat) is this Saturday folks.....who is gonna be there???????....................forecast on windfinder looks good for static, buggy, KGB, and H2O................................:duh::duh:

http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/jekyll_island...............

all day for water activities...............pm buggy/KGBin.............................:duh::duh:

I'm in for sure. I should be there mid to late am Saturday and there till the turtles take over. If the turtles don't have precedence we should have a fairly bright moon though. I'll have the buggy, kiteboard, and pretty sure Wexler will be in attendance with KGB. No Montana though apparently.

ok i'm in

jekyll 5th

A motley crew for sure. Anyone else?

1. BeamerBob
2. Wexler
3. Acampbell
4. Tridude
5. Phreerider

Low tide at about 5:00pm, so much of the afternoon will be useful. No rush to get there before noon or even 1 pm; as it will be a spring tide and the high tide at 10:30 am will be quite high - practically in the dunes.
Too early to predict winds at this point as the forecasts can change daily.
Looking forward to see everyone in any event.
