Dahim!!, I sure hope not....:singing: That would get dull real fast.

Noh!, this is a "get together" and to share some fun time together. Look forward to meeting you out there.

Buggy one, buggy all!!!

Generally meet on the beach somewhere (0.5mi, 1mi) north of the south entrance to sunset beach... generally you'll see buggies, trailers, and a few single line kites.

Let me guess..... hmmmm, not at home?

Just want to add that the forecast (for now anyway) is calling for a "chance" of showers with winds WSW of 10-15 mph. For those of you in the know, that is an incredible forecast. If holds true it could mean full runs from Seaside to the jetty......

yeah baby!!!

He'll of course be a sunset beach :eureka: I'm planning to get there late morning.

Noaa should have a forecast up tomorrow, of course which will change. Forcast aside, I'm willing the wind to be good! :bigok:

I'm worried about precip from 12-dark

I'm not worried about wind.

recheck the links as it gets closer to s-day!

20% chance of rain... I'll take that bet

I'm going to try to head out by 1130 at the latest and will keep an eye on the weather, noaa says:

Today: Showers likely. Cloudy, with a high near 62. West southwest wind between 8 and 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Tonight: A 20 percent chance of showers before 11pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 52. North northwest wind between 8 and 13 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph.

blahsurf forecast is NW 10-15. Manzo is cloudy and the roads are wet from last night but it's not raining and 58.

I MAY not be able to make it out today. Something else came up at the last minute that I need to take care of. If not today, I should be out tomorrow.

Wind just came out of nowhere down here, WNW 11/13/16

looks like have become the sacrificial lamb without even having to show up and then leave... smile

I will be there tomorrow 6-21

Fun day!!! 6 hours and countless miles! Wind was ave 8-13 most the day and pretty steady, apparently it was gusting to 17 for a while.

Plenty of wind to fly the bullet but I chose to fly the blaze due to the pansh thread :p Even got on my landboard for a bit and managed not to break anything, much fun! Thanks to csa_deadon for letting me try his 16m scorpion. Absolutely fantastic kite! Flies like butter and I can't believe how fast it turns!

Don't know if anyone saw it but about 1/2 mile south of the sunset beach entrance was a baby seal chilling on the beach. It was about 2ft long; kinda neat.

The MP's also came for a visit, apparently someone went over the dunes and got too close so they want to make sure we were not up to something naughty... with out kites... like attacking their base... with kites... :wee:

Good to see everyone! Everyone looked great today zipping around the beach! Can't wait til SOBB!

Great time today!!
Good time chewing the fat with Monty, and thanks for the help with the Scorp Monty. To quote arkay that kite flies like butter.

arkay, could you post the pics you took of that beast.

Got some great pics towards the end of the day.
Yes, some of them were of Jim showing off again!!!
Even got one that I accused Jim of napping under his 7m JOJO!!
Think we had a zebra get attack on the beach, poor thing :P

Pics are to big, and I can't resize them, yet.
