Saying goodbye is the hardest part.


On behalf of myself and East Coast Kite Sports thank you for attending the fall event. Everyone will be truly missed until the next one. What a blast!

I really don't like the Sunday's after the event. I enjoy being around everyone so much, it makes it hard to leave. I tried for two hours to say goodbye and kept sticking around, and eventually missed the ferry because it sold out before I got there! Definitely need figure out a way to see everyone sooner, rather than later! Hmmmm, Kite Storm????

Can't wait to see you next year Ricky! Dino had a blast, I am sure he will tell you all about it!

Thanks every one for making this such a great time!

We sat around waiting for anything resembling wind this morning (sort of an excuse to stay) but alas, nothing. :puzzled: We made lots of friend this weekend and started counting down to spring. Big thanks to everyone for making me and Owen feel welcome.:thumbup:

SOOPA good WBB this time , nice mix of wind , weather and beach conditions.
I was really happy with the changes I made to my black and yellow. I can now do a little powerslide without getting dumped over the side , and getting slid sideways in the gusts at speed is something I'm looking forward to getting used to.
Thanks go out to all the EAST COAST KITE SPORTS crew for all you guys do to keep this great event going.
Thanks also to PL ARC guru flyjump Adam , flyguy1010 Scott, buggydanny Dan , Van , doddg , shehatsmyhobbies Rich , and who ever I turned to and asked "Did he just say he'd sell them for $???!!!!!" You all played a part in what I was about to do. I came to WBB prepared to maybe buy a kite but I never expected to be pulled completely into the d'ARC ness. I am now the proud and slightly nervous new owner of PL 10m, 13m 16m Scorpions. Holy crap have I got a lot to learn!

To Todd and all the people that made WWBB such a fun time; thank you. Google said the trip should take 6 1/2 hours but it was 8 down and 7 back. My butt was screaming in pain by the time I got home but it was worth it. Hope to see you at Kitestorm in February.

I am still way tired from traveling but I wanted to thank everyone on the east coast for welcoming my wife and I with open arms. You all made it a great trip for us. I can't wait till we get to come back again.

Rip there was no running over of anyone on my part. There are a good bunch of riders over there. If we can ever get them out here to nabx they will all be destroying their personal best speeds.

Thanks again everyone I had a great time .... Now I am going back to bed :yes:

Nice Cheezy... I was still laughing on the ride home.

Donnie, be sure to tell Kelly that I'll bring the cups and quarters to the spring bash. Thanks for the killah rack. We got those ratchet straps and worked beautifully.

Now that I'm mobile, I've got practicing to do for the next bash.

Todd and Rich and Co. - Always a great time with great folks from all over. A big thanks from the Brasilian and I on another sweet bash.

Now... For some SNOW



No kites left :(
Maybe someday I'll snowkite again

Just wanted to say thanx to the guys who put this together, and a big hello to anyone I didn't get a chance to chat with at the Shalimar. I am so happy I ran into Don 6 weeks ago while on vacation in Wildwood Crest with my family, the reason I got back into buggying. They say, what comes around, goes around......so thanks Don for returning the favor so many years later!

The turnout for this event was big! Reminded my of kiting back in it's hay day....when it was fun!

I too was sort of sad to leave on Sunday. I flew my dual line Sunday morning for a bit, hoping for more wind, it didnt come so then I got in the jeep and left and thought about the next event! Dead bird buggy blast!

I live in York PA, a little over 3 hours from Wildwood. If any of you are going back to buggy in wildwood over the next few weeks, let me know, maybe I will come down and join you! I was thinking about going back down either tomorrow or Thursday.....

Looking forward to the spring in wildwood! Best wishes everyone!

Everyone

I had a truly wonderful time at the bash and like everyone else I was reluctant to leave. I've had to catch up with a few things at work and home, but now I can look back and reflect on what made it so great. For me it is the people, it is by far the best part of the bash.

The winds this bash were not as favorable as previous ones. I spent less time buggying that usual, but just meant that I got to send more time with everyone. For me this was the best bash yet, and I am eagerly looking forward to the spring. Six month is just too long a wait to see everyone again.

I have so many to thank for making this bash so special to me, here are a few that come to mind. I have to thank all the people from ECKS for making the bash possible, especially for Rich and Todd for all the work that they put in behind the scenes. Another special thanks to Dino, who came all the way to the bash and let me take and extended ride in his Apexx. I am smitten with this buggy and riding it was one of the highlight of the bash. I also have to thank Claude for hooking us up with his cool spreader bar pullies, letting me try his Gin Tonkawa, and his always skillful bugging. I also have to thank all the vendors that let me demo their gear: Ben from Concept Air, Chris from HQ, Van from VTT, and Mike from Prism.

I am always impressed with new enthusiastic fliers and one stood out to me. Bruce was out there every day tearing it up and was always wearing a huge smile. I know he had a good time and I am certain that we will see him again.

There are so many more to thank. I could go on and on, but my post is long enough. Hope to see everyone soon.
