We just heard from Peter Lynn today and its not looking good. They are working hard with the factory to get the phantoms finished on time. Unfortunatly they will not make it to the US on time for the demo trip. Sorry dudes I am dissapointed and i'm sorry if you are dissapointed as well. They are trying to throw their weight around with the factory to get them out in time. There may be a 5% chance that they will make it but i'm not getting my hopes up.

The LEI kites should still show up in time on friday or saturday. So If you are coming out to try the tubes you should still get that chance. I just wanted to post if you are planning on spending time and money to get to jekyll to try the phantoms. We are still working hard to get as much as possible. You are still welcome to come and ride if you just wanted to get out in the wind. I hope to see you all there, and I'm very sorry about the phantoms, but the factory is in china and not in holland so it's difficult.





It's finally that time. How many of you would like to demo the new phantoms lei's and fixed bridle kites?

Friday and Saturday March 23, 24th. Flyguy0101 and I will be on Jekyll Island with peter lynn demo kites. It'll be a fun couple of days on a beach after those crappy winter months.

We are meeting up with Coastalwindsports (Angus) and are wanting you guys to help us build some hype on the new peter lynn products. Come out, bring your buggy, bring your landboard, and be ready to ride the waves. We should have a range of kites with us for you to test out.

We will have kites ranging from reactorIIs, escape, fury, twisterIIR, and of course the new phantoms!

Scott and I will of course keep you guys updated on exactly the model of kites and sizes they will be sending us as soon as we get them in.

We will also be offering a demonstration on how to tune up your twinskin kites as well as a few lessons and riding tips! Come out and ride with us.

Also Sunday March 25th we plan on being at Sullivan's island for those of you that are closer.

Are you as stoked as we are? Be the first to test the new kites!

I hope to see you all on Jekyll, or Sullivan's Island! Adam.

Very NICE ! see you there.

We are happy that youll be there phree. We need experienced riders opinions about the new wings!

nfleech and I will be there...........what are the tides? can we take pics and or vids?

Go back for jibe!!!

tri,
Absouletly can take pics and vid- looking forward to seeing you guys. I am really interested in getting some feedback from you guys regarding the LEIs as well. Dont remember the tide schedule exactly, but i think low tide on friday somewhere around 2-2:30 and add 45 minutes for Saturday. Question for you- we are hoping to ride sullivan island on Sunday can you tell me where to look for tide as well will we be able to ride landboars or is sulys really better for water? Maybe i will need to borrow your door and try out a fury myself- if i do that what type of suit- assuming bareback is not an option and can always bring my drysuit.
Scott

FLYguy , i have extra XL 3/2and or spring 3m xl if you like.

looks like tides should be around 3pm for low which great .

no doubt cameras will be on.

hopefully a 13m/ 11m lei which would be perfect

Bringing 9 and 13 escape and furys. Just heard from the office, its gonna be a close call with the phantoms, so cross your fingers!

awesome

Saved the date!!!

This sounds like so much fun! Dunno if I can make it that far south!

I have a plan in mind! Adam, I am out of the country until next week but expect a call next weekend!

No prob martin! I hope to see both you and lad down there!

nice......the sandbar is wider than the beach at Jekyll so land boad. buggy, or water............the ultimate surf and turf spot........................tides at low mid afternoon.............perfect and I can guarantee 15 to 20 kts side on......................the door 140, or surf board are at your disposal..............the door will have you up and riding no problem..............I had forum member POWER up and riding in 45 minutes on the door...........he had no rpblem staying upwind and was the only one out until the wind picked up..............

Phree,
Might take you up on that offer- i have been wanting to get on the water and this may be the time unless i am having to much fun on land- depends how much frustration i want to deal with
Scott

planning 2 days of it ...plenty water gear...float, drag, ride just need 15 -20 and up and screaming. ... something like that.

i have wake board coats for safety so no worries

Are you guys bringing this road trip to Wildwood as well? You would be HEROS if you did!:singing:

Well we most likely won't be up there during that week unless the planets align perfectly and we get perfect on shore wind. Unfortunatly the low tide is too short of time compared to the tides down at jekyll :dunno: But i guess nothing is impossible

I won't be able to make the demo weekend but I'll be there in spirit

Thought I would bump this with a little note about my "warm up" session today. Had a chance to ride in the va Mtn gusts. Wind started in the low 20s with gust to the mid 30s then started mellowing to the teens with gusts to mid 20s. Was able to get a couple of little jumps 5-6 ft and several big static jumps. Nothing beats the chelaxed feeling after a couple hrs of tight lines. Can't wait for the hard pack smooth sand and clean wind.
Scott

nice

My car is fix and ready for a trip ...... not sure if my wallet is....... maybe I will manage somehow to be meet you there Adam ...... Glad you getting some traveling when doing what you love .....

kober, find a way to get there! we need some laughs from conrad while we are there!!!!

I'm busy on the 24th but I have blocked Friday the 23rd. Please let there be an on-shore wind. Please baby, please baby, baby, baby, PLEASE.

Anyone want to split a hotel room Thursday night? Send me a U2U.

Philip

Kober... I really want to go as well.
I'll give you a call this weekend maybe we can figure something out!

Also, we need a sandy hook session soon! Maybe this weekend...

I will attempt to make the trip to Sullivan's Island. I am about to get a PL Hornet II 6m this week! I still don't have a landboard though, but I am in the market. I am pretty new to kiting, but I am getting there!
I look forward to meeting some of the SC crew. I get to Charleston on a semi-regular basis. Watching a guy landboarding last month on Holley Beach was the tipping point for me to start getting into larger kites.

James

come and join us pbandJ!

Phil and any others looking for hotel
for what its worth- I have stayed at the ramada in brunswick last July and it is where Adam and i are staying- rooms run around $50 and they were clean and decent- right off of 95 and maybe 15 minutes to the island. Cant wait to be there
Scott

Also I stayed at the Microtel out by the interstate and it was cheap, clean and it was new at the time.

This is looking to be great. I have my pre-orders for Phanny II's in and I don't know about delivery but these guys will deliver for sure.

Jekyll Island is looking great. The convention center is complete ahead of time and under budget. I mention this just because there are no more traffic detours so it is easy to get to the beach.

I am also summoning all local riders.

For further hotel info, look at the JIBE site...
