Low tide at noon and SE baby! Who's ready to rock for one last ride before we get shut down for the summer?

JEALOUS

Todd what day is that forecast for?

Im with you Bob... Jealous as HELL

I'd love to go... but mother-in-law is still in town (they wanted to do some sight-seeing in DC this weekend), and the doctor told me not to kite for 3-weeks... this weekend will be the end of week 1...

Todd was saying that Saturday was supposed to be South-East winds,,,directly onshore,,,,epic,,,,and winds from 15 to 21 mph.....can't get much better than that....Low tide around noon so you would have riding time from about 9am to 3pm. I don't think the beaches will be too crowded this weekend at all. There will most likely be some people around but they wouldn't be there to go into the water.... I may have to work this weekend so I would not make it but I get can get there anytime just not with good friends/riders.....oh well.

Hmmm. Guess this adds checking tides before agreeing to help out the in-laws upstate. Rats.

Two questions for future planning:
Do you guys stay at the same place?
Which month in the fall gives you the first real shot at making the trip? I cannot/shouldn’t/most likely will not make WWBB Fall 2011, but I am going to try to make at least one trip with the boy.

I will continue to stay at the Shalimar (same rates as the Days Inn but will close for the winter after the fall bash Which month in the fall gives you the first real shot at making the trip? I cannot/shouldn’t/most likely will not make WWBB Fall 2011, but I am going to try to make at least one trip with the boy. Days Inn is open year-round and is located accross from the Convention Center. Just remember that kiting is prohibited from Memorial Day until Labor Day

I'll be watching the weather for any last minute changes to my plans. The overall plan is to leave Friday night, ride all day Saturday and Sunday with hopes of getting in a photo shoot somewhere in between sessions.

I believe the beach is ridable right after Labor Day... :Ange09:

I will try to get there on Sunday if nothing come up at work ......

Do you know any good spots after beaches are close ...... ( in NJ )

Thank you both, that helps.

I just wasn't sure how long the beach remains too full to ride on the tail end of summer. Just like the weather, no guarantees I'm sure.

@ Labrat, no problem brother
@ Kober, U2U with my number and you need to hook up with Jamz. He along with Rando hook up on a local beach and could give you better details

@labrat- to early to set a time yet but i now that i am thinking of heading to WW, maybe last weekend of sept or first weekend of october with my son maybe we can coordinate something as it gets closer. i know cheesey wanted to do that as well with his son. right now focusing on JIBE next week:wee::wee:
Scott

Might need Joecat to confirm, but I'm pretty sure the beach is off limits to wind-powered vehicles from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Outside of those dates, just dodge the crowd...

That is correct, mentioned that in my reply to Labrat. I think Crisi took a picture of the sign also... *off to search*

the sign actually said - no kite flying... :dunno:

chudalicious took the picture... AND we are actually legal because I am not flying a kit

:wink2:

No can do Saturday, but a definate maybe for Sunday ;-)

Boy just say the word WILDWOOD and we all come outta the cracks !!!

change the ordinance number too Man all this talk of wildwood, I miss the place of my wellspent youth weekends. Next time I'm back in the area visiting family, I need to hop over the bridge and hunt you guys down!:Ange09:

I was in Wildwood last Saturday and it was crowded (family with small children and couples). I felt unsafely to kite there.

Todd...

Willing to help with photo shoot if needed ...... I think I choose wrong job for my self .... Film and photo makes me way more excited then construction .......

And you are actually pretty good at it too...

That would be great Konrad, thank you! Yes Cheesy I do enjoy his videos! Winds for Saturday looks to be on-shore all day... just say 'in for all of those thinking about it :saint:

That is right,,,,,from Todd,,,,,nobody is flying a "kit" Soooooo to the beach it is! ok, so maybe that excuse would not cut it. But seriously, I fly kites down there all summer.....the deal is, there are no real regulations regarding the buggys and such, the only regulation is on "kites". They had no idea and still very little idea about power kiting and the wind powered vehicles. There have been no incidents to this date, knock on wood, where someone has been injured. So technically everything we do is powered by a kite however that oridance is not really enforced, So we have to use common sense, we know not to go near anyone, crowds whatever on the beach. What I would do in the middle of the summer would be to go to the area of the beach between the street and the area where the people congragate....now, the people are near the hard packed sand close to the water so as far as riding its no good when people are there. But if the tides right, you can go down early in the morning or late at night, meaning around 6 or 7pm when the beachs are pretty clear of people. I really cant say how crowded the beach will be this weekend, and the low tide is scheduled for around noon which means that time of day is when the people are going to be around.....blaaa bllaaa bllaaaa,,,, The water is still cold as hell so I dont think there would be a huge crowd there.

I'm hoping everyone is saving up for coming down the holiday weekend so fewer crowds, that and it might be too windy for a stroll down the beach. NOT ME THOUGH!

The weekend is a def. maybe for me!

Yay Lad! It's been awhile.

WOW :shocked2: Only 2 rooms left at the Shalimar Resort (Moose lodge or the Elks are in town)
