Anyone planning anything for the weekend after July 4th.
Sunset Beach, LC, Newport, Florence?

Kites and Fireworks just don't mix well! We've tried buggying on July 4th weekend but many close calls have been limiting. Not that you can't get some riding in but with the crowds and the fact that just about every city around Seaside has BANNED ANY Fireworks within their city. Seaside has become a war zone. Last night you would of thought it was the 4th, but just missing the big show!

Sunset beach may be ok BUT BE CAREFUL I have come close MANY TIMES.

I have had a few close calls myself. Was actually thinking about the 11th, 12th, or the 13th.

I may be up for an 11th and or 12th trip to Sunset :flaming:

OK OK twist my arm, I'll go! 12th and 13th

Would love to fly Sunset. Have never flown there before.
Bummer is, my buggy will not be finished yet, and besides scudding is oh so fun

maybe i will finally get some seat time in my buggy for the first time since I bought it, i haven't heard from the Mayor of Sunset beach yet. How about it Jim you going to be around next weekend ? :flaming:

Hope people can get together next weekend. Would love to pick your brains on buggy building.

You know me, I'll be there. BTW, it was an awesome day out there yesterday. 20 mph winds all day and well into sunset to be topped off with 20 mile long stretch of fireworks.

i might be there, see how traffic is:alien:

I'm planning on being up there on Sat.
Maybe you guys can teach this old school kiter a few new tricks

welllllllllllll considering i live less than a mile away guess I could pull out the old bike and take it for a spin.
BTW what time so I can plan?

PLAN?? If the wind is blowin, it's time...

Looks like there should be plenty of beach all the way till about 6 or so. Not a very low tide, but not a very high one either. And lookin like some good weather too.

think i could be there around 9 or 10 am

I will also get there around 9 or 10 am on Saturday

Now that I have opened this can of worms, how do I find this mythical place :?:

Anyone know what the winds have been like this week at sunset beach?
The winds here in Newport have been nucing all week 20-40mph.

20-25 everyday since about Thursday. Forecasting for about the same for the rest of the week up to Saturday. Then slowing down to 10-15 on Sunday, but also changing from a nnw to a w on Sunday. And of course, A L L long range forecast are very accurate... lol But, we'll keep our fingers crossed.

just trying to figure out what gear to bring.
guess I could bring'em all. lol

you know exactly what will happen if ya don"t.... :alien:

I'll be left holding something other then a kite. lol

well i am ready to come down now... only two more days of waiting :flaming:

I just had an awesome day out there today! took out my frenzy in 20+ winds SCARY but fun. I finally got to see what the thing was made of.

I don't know about anyone else, but it's been a rockin summer. More kite time than I've had in a couple years!!! So So fun!!!

T minus 38 hours 30 minutes and counting! :tumble:

Since I don't know any of you showing up on Saturday I'll be the guy with the Montana pack with 4 RM 8's and a REV strapped to the side. Or look for the guy just wandering around. :frog:

we usually meet up just to the north of sunset beach access.

Cya there.

the third pole marker has been better than ever....I've been third pole or north towards ft stevens this summer.
