How much is it? Good thing sponsors are paying the bill.

We are staying at the mermaid inn. But the cottage/condo looks better.

The one I requested is $78.50 + Tax. the cheapest they had but it does have 2 rooms. I may have to give up the one in July as I have another event I want to attend. If I get it, it maybe up for grabs to the PKF family.

I was just planning to commute from manzo.

Oh my goodness. Long beach is pretty wide with a lot of soft sand, but if the with the quite low tide the beach should be huge. With a cooperative wind, this could be a dream. :Ange09:

How did this weekend go? UPDATE PLEASE !!!!!!:wee:

C'ya next weekend !

This event hasn't happened yet :D I wonder how the wind was for moclips... it was howling down here yesterday. Was on the v13 for a few minutes til I put it down. The first time I felt the upper limit :o

:bouncy: I get to go!!! thanks to the great NAPKRA guys for getting this pushed through! Now I just need to find a good place to camp. Any ideas?

I don't know of many campsite places on the WA side unfortunatly, but there are a bunch of RV camps. And the only state park I know in that area on the WA side is Cape Disappointment.

Tent or RV?

BTW, please bring your hydra :D

My wife asked, "what kite are you going to take?" I of course replied, all of them. I know Flecht camps alot. Maybe he will know of a place too. I will have to check how far away cape dissapointment is.

It was pretty darn good Most kite being used on Sunday was in the 2m range (20-25mph) and up to a 3m for tandem riding. Saturday was a bit lighter (10-15). A very good trip all in all. Hooj beach, good winds and as usual, great people.

Long Beach next... Don't miss it.

Sounds like a great time! Too bad I missed it, I would have loved to Jim on a 2m. I'm not even sure I saw him on something that small at NABX

i cant imagine a 3m Jim, the 2.4 combat was more than i could handle :wow::wow:
go big or go home, who ever started this saying needs to take a ride with me:wee:

Wind's were high on Sunday 2.1 Speedy was a good size for me all day long. Monday I was the lone kiter. the 3.8 Reactor was the kite for me on monday. I shoot some video but have not been home to download it yet I will post something up.

Winds are looking good. A bit light, bring a big kite.

Bigkid, if you want to learn how to fly big kites in big winds come see me once you have healed and I will be more than happy to pass on the secrets of flying big kites in high winds.

Here's a clue: it's all about the edge

Yeah I just looked at the forcast. sunday looks like good weather but I don't know about wind

Weather update from the ground?

Its dumping in manzo... long beach report was upgraded to 70% change of rain all day long

its raining here in astoria.....

yeah its' raining here; maps look clear in long beach for the last morning and early afternoon til about 3. 2 bars of wind at 2 also...

It was raining at Long Beach this morning. I think everybody went home. Poor Brian drove up to find us all heading out.

I hold Fletcht personally responsible for the rain. ;-)

Rain quit about 11:00 started againaround 5:00. Started with a 6 went to a 10 back to my 8. But I'm not a student of go big or go home. I'm more go moderate and survive. Jimmy was upon me by at least 2 kite sizes. Wind were about as close to onshore as you can get without actually being there. Long runs both directions all afternoon. To bad some of you had to leave. Thanks for everyone coming out. Had a lot of good comments from general public. See some of you folks next weekend.
On another topic if a coffee shop offers you a chocolate dipped garlic clove with your drink, walk away. Sat with me all day.

mmm sound good.

Fletcht, Thanks for making a great weekend possible!

I was watching the maps all morning and got a later start than I wanted but rolled in just before 1 and arrived to sufficient wind ~8W. Was hoping our bc friends would still be there but alas! At least by me the wind and good weather doesn't kick in til noonish. At one point I'm pretty sure it was in the mid to highteens. Was on the v19 all day and booked 40-some-odd miles! Had a great 9mi run... Only to dream of a 26mi run

last run of the day the wind died while I was in a dead pocket, luckily, and funly, I was towed in off the back of my trailer wake-style! Packed up and headed out just as the rain came to say hello.

Another fantastic WA event!

I've uploaded a few pics so far...

Wow

I thought I had shaken my abilaty to kill wind. :dunno:
Guess your glad we took our Vancouver weather back home with us ! :D
Thanks to everyone !

great event and the beach was fun ... i would have stayed longer but we had a long long trip home. what normally takes 5hrs, took us forever with 3 car accidents along the I-5. so it was good we left in the morning.

see you at the next event, thank you again.

Is it just a coincidence those 3 accidents happened within the few minutes ahead of us KC triple 8 was ? That beast he drives got through and we didn't. :evil: I Jumped off on some other highway heading north?? Thought I was lost and then stumbled on the Tacoma dome and slipped past the big one !

In a Country where they constantly remind you with signs to KEEP RIGHT ACCEPT TO PASS, I can never figure out why the right lane is almost always the open one ????
