WildWood Kite fest

May 24th 2008 | Posted by Don

Low tides are looking favorable for the Kite Fest. Friday 5/23 4:05 PM, Sat. 4:46, Sun. 5:32, and Mon. 6:26.
In past years you were not allowed to Buggy till 5:30 after the Life Guards were off duty and I assume it will be that way this year

I will be there all 4 days if the weather is OK and there?s a chance of some wind.
I will have a complete selection of HQ Power Kite to try out, 2 Peter Lynn Buggys, and a MBS- ATB.

Kite Fest was nice. They had enough wind all four days to launch a good display of kites. Jesse showed up around 6:00 Satury evening for a nice supprise visit and we buggyed for an hour before the wind left. I had great Buggying Friday on the North Wildwood inlet beach with prety steady SW winds at 14.
Saturday and Sunday after 5:30 (life guards off)we had SE at around 10 for an hour or so, was OK.
Monday was kick ass! It was so windy that the beach was almost a ghost town and the Life Guards even left at 4:00, I was buggying at 4:05. Winds were 20 to 25 from the SSE. The “Beamer 2.0″ was all I could handle. Had to do close wind tacks going south, made about 600 ft each time. Heading north was a rush! The wind angle was almost perfect. I buggyed till 9:00, got so tired I had to use my harness on the south up wind tacks.
Sorry Brian I didn’t even think of you, was too busy buggying, biking, and feeding my face while cruising the Boardwalk.

“sorry Brian I didn’t even think of you”

:( lol I guess that means you had too much fun, which is good.

Glad you had good time, Don. Hope to ride with you soon. I really miss buggying with you guys.

Next time we buggy, it will be “Moon Light Buggying!!!” Who’s in?

I’m in on the “Moon Light Buggy” thing. I think someone, maybe LBJ should check with Wildwood beach patrol and make sure it is permited.
There are signs that state that the beach is closed from 11:00PM to 6:00 AM. What is the preposed date of this happening?
I did have that much fun that didn’think of anyone. It was all about me.
