Just found this forum....

Looking for people in Cumming GA

And HELLO ALL!!!!!!

:wee:

Lots of SoFKA members up there (Southern Flied Kiters Assoc.) there in North GA and southern SC. I'll let them chime in. Several will come down to Jekyll Island from time to time or make a meet-up up there in SC. Look me up if you ever make it south.

We're about 15 minutes from you, north of Alpharetta.

Welcome to the forum

local folks, very nice

Thank you guys for the warm reception!

I mostly fly up at our vacation house in northern Michigan (Cheboygan) due to what I thought was a lack of locations here in Cumming (and lack of winds). But recently I have noticed a guy flying what appears to be a Beamer Mk3 on the corner of Highway 9 and Bethelview in that undeveloped field next to Ingles. That got me interested in local flying and I am looking for some fellow dorks in the area that might be able to share their knowledge and some super secret locations

Hey if your looking for Dorks, Ga. is the place to find them.

Ha!

Welcome to the Forum.

Hitch a ride with Kitedog to Jekyll Island, he goes all the time. You'll get used to the dogs sitting in your lap after a trip or two. If there is goat in the truck, take a pass.

Hope to meet you at a SoFKA meet up soon. Lot of good people. Lot of good kites!

Hey!

I've got a decent field to practice static flying. If you're interested, drop me a U2U and we'll try to find a good day.

Mel's right. I do try to get down to Jekyll as often as I can and sometimes I need someone to share the ride with...

Greg

Weeeee!!!!

I took my beamer out yesterday to the field next to Ingles on exit 13.....

IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!

Sucks that Kitedog was out of town.

It's a shame that he missed all of my shenanigans.....

Couple of friends came out and some of their significant others....

Gotta love the guys that say "If you can do it so can I"

Put some kite killers on for safety and watched this guy eat it pretty hard because he was to macho to let go.....

Was it a bad call on my part for letting him do it?

Wow, you are talking about a field I tried to fly in just 2 weeks ago. (No wind when I had the opportunity). You know its bad when you are setting up your kite at the same time the hot air balloon is setting up. I have a cousin that lives about 5 minutes from there and that field is where he flies at all the time. He has an HQ Crossfire 5m. I'll ping him and get him to get in touch with you

HA!

That's who I see out there every now and then when I drive past the field. That would be awesome. give him my email anderaa1@gmail.com

Sending you a U2U with my cell.

Yeah it's pretty rare to find wind out that way.

Even when you do it's so inconsistent that it will drive you nuts. Yesterday my wind window changed directions so many times it was crazy. Lucky for me there is a flag out there that I use for direction.

FYI!!!!

Winds are good @ that field until 6 tonight.

10-14mph

dude!!! never in a million years did i think id see a post "cumming ga" i live so close to that ingles... the field i fly in is the huge field off of 141 at the first redeemer church. pmed you my cell...

Hey Everyone!

I just moved to Marietta GA about a month ago and wanted to pick this up ( after a friend showed me the ropes in Europe ) I was dreading 5 hours drive to the coast when I'm still learning.

Thanks for the Tip on the area! Is there anywhere else near by that would be good?

Wow, I'm surprised to hear guys from around Atlanta. I used to live in Buckhead (2 big moves ago), boy do I miss the South. (No on in TO. has heard of sweet tea!)

I have some friends there that are interested in kiting. Is this the spot you're talking about?

Cumming Map

hehe i just moved from toronto... but i have no idea about where to try down here

Atlanta dude here. I'm sick of trying to fly in Piedmont Park. Too many people and not enough wind. I'm going to have to check out this Ingles spot.

Call me if there is a good south westerly. I've got a good place if the wind is from the sw or south. Check your u2u for my digits.
