As Don said, you are a LBJ!!…

It would be cool if you can mount the camera somewhere on the mast, not sure though what would happen if you flip it

Well,,, I went down there. The wind started off pretty good,,, wasn’t real fast but good. I had about 2 hours of ok rides, then the wind died off. Still worth going down for me anyway. I need more speed> I am working on a camera rig for the blowkart. have ideas in mind.

Well anyway,,, I went out yesterday (Saturday) to North Beach and got in about 2 hours of good landboarding,,,I was using the 5 meter beamer, the wind direction was SSE so I was able to get a half way good ride, for me still on the learning curve it was good,, the wind actually got alittle too strong for the 5 meter after awhile and I ate some sand, it was then that I decided that it was time to pack it up. It was good. The wind today is SW which will be good for North Beach again and the speed is set to be around 22mph which will most likely mean about 25 mph there with temps in the 60s,,,I am taking out the blokart,, it should be a “kick Ass” day. I will let you know…

Unfortunately, there was no wind while I was at Wildwood. It looks like it is supposed to pick up nicely for Sunday, but we couldnt warrant staying another night. Oh well, I guess we’ll just have to time the next one a little better …

Gonna do some flying in DC tomorrow. Found a nice park right near where a buddy of mine lives. Big open fields, no fences, might be a lot of fun… We’ll have to see how it goes.

Thanks for the help in trying to make this weekend work out.

Hey guys looks like I’ll be cutting fire wood this weekend.
Wildwood weather is too iffy for me.
Brain, That’s a hard choice, KW or Crest Beach. I think I’d go with Key West.
Makes me feel warm and happy just talking about it.
I lived on my 30′ sailboat part time for a couple years in the Keys. Big Fun !!
You will find your Christmas gift when you return from the good life in the South.
Hope you all have Fun wherever you Fly.

Hello – and happy holidays! I’ve been looking for more info on land sailing and kite buggies – will anyone be on the sidelines long enough to show me the ropes (sorry – pun fully intended)in Wildwood tomorrow?

Hey Mike, Crocus road is where the fishing pier is. If you come into town by way of Route 47 that will bring you right into wildwood and you would then go toward beach and turn right on Atlantic Ave and go about 7 blocks or so..you will see a recreation area right next to the beach and you can park there,,pier is there. And if you go to the hotel first then just head south on Atlantic Ave I think crocus road is about the 6000 block or so you can also get a street map from the hotel. The hotel is located at the 1800 block.. I will call you when I am headed down to the beach. I should be going down around noon or so…. low tide is scheduled for about 2pm.
