All the stories of good riding and fun things to do in South Carolina inspired us to book a week in Charleston to hook up with Tridude and others.

March 16th - March 23rd 2010


hopefully a bunch of other members can meet !?

looking forward to it...........................

Excellent! It'll be great to meet you!

nice , def plan a few sessions there, holy west sessions can be the hottest of the year! with nice flat spots to ride. if it's sunny could be 1st skins session of the season for some.

right on PZ

Too bad I'll be getting to SC on the 27! Just 4 days too late:flaming:

where in SC?

Kiawah island

you must be rich...............nice big empty beaches at Kiawah..................................30 minute drive to Folly if you can make it let me know............................

I can probably make it. And no I don't have a house there just staying for a week of vacation. You think the water will be warm enough to try some kitesurfing?

water should be low to mid 60s, 4/3 or 3/2 wetsuit, shorty, or rash guard depending on the day.............onshore, or side on shore thermals most every afternoon........................winds are very consistent that time of year.......................

I'm hoping to get in a lot of flying. I'm just hoping that there is wind. Is there any chance you could show me the ropes? I'm looking to get into it but I refuse to pay for a lesson.

do what I can....................I can show you the basics i.e.......launch and realunch, body dragging, board starts, etc..........................dont worry about wind Ive got a couple anti skunk tools and board that will get you going in next to nada..........................not too worry the wind WILL be blowing............................starteds a Kiawah thread for you power.....................back on PZs thread....................

Thanks tri. I'm hoping to meet up with you and as many other guys as possible when I go there. I better watch out though, if I fly too much in those super clean beach winds I'm not going to know what to do when I come back to D.C.!

My uncle lives at Folly. I think Im gonna come down. Hope there's wind...

gettin close PZ......................

Turns out I'll be there for a wedding the weekend prior. 12th, 13th, and head out the 14th I imagine. I'm hoping to slip away for a session with tridude. Hope it all works out. Wish my trip would match up with PZ but I'll feel lucky to hit the water at all.

bring one of those big arcs............we've got the bar add the Spleene and wind direction is your only concern......................

That would help to not have to bring a bar if you have one that'll fly my Synergy.

March is fast approaching.......................my son will be home from the 12th thru the 20th for spring break.............................FSer Speeds, P4s, Pulse and Pulse 2 will be well represented...............................KD, and Phree need to come down for a session :duh:

Beamer Bs and PZs arrivals right around the corner.........................do yo need to send any gear in advance to cut down on airline bag weight........................:duh::duh:
Im thinking that 10m P3 needs a good warmup session.................

I"m going to book today. Looks like I'll have to travel Thursday to save some money. :bouncing: That just gives me all day friday to play in the wind. Tri I'll let you know plans when I lock in.
