bobalooie57 - 14-3-2012 at 08:19 AM

Hey Kober, your 9/11 session can be added to my list of kite videos that really make me smile! :thumbup:

bobalooie57 - 14-3-2012 at 08:32 AM

And Jaymz', also! :thumbup: :thumbup: Oh, what a spot! Wish I could join you!

cheezycheese - 14-3-2012 at 04:00 PM

Would love to join you guys. Not sure I can afford the gas and tolls... My name is M.T. Pockets. :lol:

Kober - 14-3-2012 at 04:43 PM

Not very happy to say that conditions are NOT to be good on Friday as right now ....... looks like wind will die before 8am ...... looks perfect for tomorrow ..... and sadly I have to work all day .........

.... maybe we can get east wind on weekend ..... please

Jaymz - 14-3-2012 at 07:30 PM

Yup, Tomorrow looks perfect. That work thing always seem to get in the way. We'll keep an eye on Friday.
And would love to see Mr. M.T. pockets. He's always good for toll money.

ARGH!
I saw this yesterday and was sorely tempted. I just... cannot do this yet. I really want to, but I have an MRI on Monday, and would HATE to make things worse before that appointment. Resting weekend for me...
:(

lad - 16-3-2012 at 08:38 AM

Forecast still holding, must mostly cloudy Sat. :ninja:
But it's rare to catch an onshore there, even if only 10-20
Still might go for it, esp. if I can't make JI the next week.

martinipro - 16-3-2012 at 08:41 AM

Wish I could join! Will definitely plan something for next weekend.

Kober - 16-3-2012 at 08:56 AM

Tempting.....
If you decided to go ..... let me know by 9pm tonight ..... I will cancel my meeting for tomorrow and can be there around 10 am ????

lad - 16-3-2012 at 09:59 AM

Anyone else up to be there tomorrow AM? :wee:

lad - 16-3-2012 at 04:43 PM

New forecast now says E 5-10 - my R1 8.3 and PI 18 could meet that challenge, tho.

Tibi - 16-3-2012 at 04:48 PM

Wildwood Crest doesn't work for this wind direction (NE)...the wind is straight along the beach. But the North Wildwood beach can work... unfortunately is a shorter run.

Tibi - 16-3-2012 at 04:59 PM

On Saturday, the low tide is at 10:31 am.
Sunday looks more promising wind wise and the low tide is at 11:24 am.

lad - 16-3-2012 at 05:27 PM

Hmmm...Sunday's forecast is in a better direction at low tide...tho wind speed looks a little lower.

lad - 17-3-2012 at 08:48 PM

OK...tomorrow, Sunday...Wildwood Crest...5-10 East onshore...low tide 11:45...anyone?

Kober - 17-3-2012 at 11:40 PM

Can't do tomorrow ....
Not sure if 10mph max is worth that trip anyhow .....

Tibi - 18-3-2012 at 03:34 AM

I see really low winds for today!

lad - 18-3-2012 at 07:30 AM

yeah...couldn't get up in time, anyway! :sniff:

Kober - 18-3-2012 at 09:29 AM

NJ Activity for no wind days .....

I am planning to get paragliding classes ..... No wind for kiting = good day for paragliding

Anyone interested to get group together ???? I know 2 guys we can ride with after we have own gear ......

Kober - 24-3-2012 at 07:59 AM

Meet up in NY Brooklyn, Plum Beach for kiteboarding session ..... Sat 24th around 2pm
Groupe includes: me , martini pro, jaro, Jaymz ?.... come to join us.....

bobalooie57 - 24-3-2012 at 08:06 AM

Kober, get a para set-up for your X-19! Don't know if it is really possible, but I see the Flysurfers set up that way... You know if you buy a paraglider the wind will never stop blowing!(Kite curse in reverse!)

lad - 7-4-2012 at 05:43 PM

Wildwood Sunday forecast:

A mainly sunny sky. High 64F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph

low tide at 3:30m

martinipro - 7-4-2012 at 10:07 PM

Cant make it tomOrrow! But psyched about WBB!!

martinipro - 9-5-2012 at 07:37 AM

Ok, with memorial day around the corner I'm aching for a buggy session this weekend and hopefully the next 2 weekends as well.

Anyone interested?
I know is too soon to tell if the winds/weather will cooperate but I'll take the drive anywhere(within reasonable distance/time) for a session.

lad - 9-5-2012 at 09:43 AM

I could be up for it, since it looks like I won't be making JIBE :-(

ragden - 9-5-2012 at 09:58 AM

I cannot commit to anything yet as I have another MRI later this week. After the follow-up appointment to that, I will hopefully have a better idea of what I can and cannot do...

MikeDobbs - 9-5-2012 at 10:51 AM

Hey Martin- I'm in if the winds appear on Long Beach.

Kober - 9-5-2012 at 08:53 PM

We need to find closed airport or large open field .... so we can buggy in various wind directions ....... I am up for buggy session if we have east wind ...... wait .... my buggy is broken ...... I think is time to try ATB ......

Not good. Doc suspects a slight tear in the miniscus, but need the MRI to confirm. Appointment is scheduled for tonight, but I got a call saying that the insurance provider did not approve. Bit confused... More to follow, I'm sure...

martinipro - 18-5-2012 at 06:26 AM

Since we are loosing our beach rights in 2 weeks. I am planning on heading to Wildwood tomorrow/sunday

Wind directions isn't perfect but it will have to do. May be a good day for North Beach. Forecast shows:
Saturday: NE @ 18mph winds. Low Tide at 1:10pm
Sunday: ENE @ 21mph winds. Low tide at 1:45pm

lad - 18-5-2012 at 06:59 AM

Martinipro:

sounds tempting!

martinipro - 18-5-2012 at 10:49 AM

Ok I am set to going tomorrow. (Will consider sunday as well but I see chance of rain in the forecast)

Is it possible to buggy in north beach during high tide?
I will try to be at north beach around 10:30-11:00am. Will be there until tide kicks us out, if still hungry for more will consider moving to Wildwood Crest for some cross-shore runs.

Anyone else up for it?
14 days left! :flaming:

Tibi - 18-5-2012 at 11:12 AM

My buggy is waiting for parts... so until the fall I would consider only water sessions proposals.
Have fun!

martinipro - 18-5-2012 at 04:02 PM

Thats too bad Tibi!

Any takers besides Lad?
Kristin will be there with me. Maybe Aaron.

North beach during high tide? I hope you have some beach to ride. Depending on how high it gets... that can GREATLY reduce the amount of rideable beach... Hope you get some riding in...
:)

martinipro - 18-5-2012 at 04:50 PM

Just wondering about high tide.
Low tide is at 1:10Pm

Kober - 18-5-2012 at 07:52 PM

ragden ..... did you get results ????

..... Martin .... enjoy Wildwood .... I be working all day tomorrow ...... Sunday I need to go south to Surf City and pickup my board ..... If wind is ok I will stay there for a session ....

lad - 19-5-2012 at 05:17 AM

Headin' to WW North Beach this AM.

lad - 19-5-2012 at 08:51 PM

Had a great sess. with Martinipro and Kristen - even if was mostly zig-zagging the NE across the Crest sand. I had my trusty 9m Proto Phanny out the whole time, and it kept right up with the other's 12m Phanny and 10m VI - that is one versatile little kite!

Kober - 26-5-2012 at 10:15 PM

Today we have small kiteboarding gathering at Surf City NJ .... me with my brother , Martin and Aaron , Darko, Jaro .... mixed sizes from 8 to 19 and mixed winds .... from 10 ??? to 25mph ..... Lots of flat shallow water with muddy launch spot ....

Monday looks promising .... so ... we are coming back to same location ...... anyone is welcome .. U2U me for time and address..... Tibi ???

martinipro - 27-5-2012 at 06:30 AM

Count me in!!

aronma - 29-5-2012 at 06:18 AM

One of these days im going to have to try out the water......

Tibi - 29-5-2012 at 07:51 AM

Kober, how was the water session this weekend? I just read your message. I had a full weekend. Maybe Monday I could've come, but I didn't read this in time.

Kober - 30-5-2012 at 09:38 PM

Tibi...
We have good session on Friday ..... Monday did not bring anything to talk about ...... except that I self rescue for 1h ....
We sit and wait for promised wind .... X19 and S19 did not provide any power to ride ..... We have crew of 7 guys .... after 1h .... we decide to have few beers and relax..... then ..... from wind start blowing .... my x19 was too much ...... I switch to Gin Zulu 13m and start riding ...... 20min later I end up on middle of bay with kite in the water .... puck up ..... start swimming to the shore .....
other guys luckily ride close to the launch spot and have no problem walking back in shallow water ..... except one that was half way between me and land ....

You did not miss anything ..... and I have my 2nd self rescue this year .... 1h of swimming agains current ... I think that is my limit ....

aronma - 10-6-2012 at 05:38 PM

Hey Kober, I don't have gear for the water but would love to give it a try (first time). Let me know if you think we could work out the details. Marc.......

Kober - 12-6-2012 at 07:46 PM

aronma....
If you have you own LEI we can help you get started .... and if you want try if kiteboarding is for you I recommend to take one lesson with one of our local instructors and use provided gear....
For start its good idea to buy older 07 or 08 kite with repairs for dirt cheap and learn on that before proceeding with buying new kite .... Let me know if you have any questions or want to come to one of our sessions .....

Kober - 25-6-2012 at 09:12 PM

Wind is here ...... 17 mph .... up to 26mph with NE direction almost perfect for Sandy Hook

June 26
We are meeting at Sandy Hook ..... Me and Jaymz will arrive around 11am .... then ... Martinipro, Jaro, Robert, Maciek + Derek ...

June 27
Me and Robert .... probably Jaro .... arriving at Sandy Hook around 4pm

Jaymz - 25-6-2012 at 09:31 PM

Wind is on it's way (and X-19), van is packed. Life is good.
Work in the am, be there around noon.

martinipro - 3-9-2012 at 04:13 PM

Summer is done!
Hoping for a cold/cooler forecast next weekend.
Anyone up for a session at Wildwood!? Havent really been in the buggy since the spring

Or will it still be a little crowded and we should give it a couple more weeks?

lad - 3-9-2012 at 06:28 PM

( areply to see next page!) :no:

Tibi - 4-9-2012 at 09:16 AM

I think it's too soon to claim the beach at WW. Hopefully, by the end of September we'll be able to begin the Buggy season.

martinipro - 15-11-2012 at 08:46 AM

Wildwood Saturday and Sunday?! Looks onshore for North Beach
I guess we could do Keansburg as well.

Or anyone know where we can kiteboard?

lad - 15-11-2012 at 09:59 PM

replying to switch to 4th page :wink2:

martinipro - 16-11-2012 at 10:05 AM

Anyone wants to join?

Winds are 16-20 all day. Great for north beach.
I will probably head down there in the morning if I can convince at least one more person to join!

Kober - 23-12-2012 at 01:09 PM

We start Facebook page of our crew .... link below ..... some photos from sessions and kiting trips with few videos ....
