As always, it was great to have our group from the North on the beaches inWashington. Let's hope it becomes a regular occurrence. We have a meeting set to help make this happen. All in all, we had a good 9 events on the Washington beaches, hope they can continue. Looking forward to the vid.

Nice write up Rip' !

I SOooo wish I was there and NOT here ! :(

ripsessionkites - 4-9-2010 at 10:04 PM

thx ... working on it at work for the next few days.

edited the poster, there was an error, it was Ken 3 (thx for the text message) that came down, but I was thinking Ken 2. never u2u when you're making graphics. you were missed Ken 2 at the event.

looking forward to the outcome, let us know if you need our support. hoping we can bridge the gap between BC and OR crews we'll be down in WA more often. "Kite buggying is not a crime!!!"

going back to sleep now, extreme tired from kiteboarding the Fraser River at Garry Point. ~30knots riding a PL Charger 10m. woohoo. Grant and Ken #3 were on 2 / 3m ... and new stuff coming out the RSK Team House now (post it K3).

I was at the front of the premier line with popcorn! Great video! You make the rest of us look like the high school video club :smilegrin: Oh and, good height on the ending ;)

i think its time to clean the DSLR, i put mine through a lot of elements. i just noticed some dots finally showing up more.

GoPros were running at r5 setting, i perfer the high quality so it can match the DSLR.

i think i need to get others on a crash course on zooming too. hehehe.

thx arkay for your footage.

PS, those that drive through tide pools or shorelines need to clean their gopro lens. hahahaha!!!

I want to know where you got the little 1m kite that looked like Ricardo @ 3:13. It is the spitting image of him. It is so life like its freaky! :lol:

arkay - 13-9-2010 at 06:26 PM

I was at r2, only because I can't seem to get my gopro to use any sdhc cards above 4

fletcht - 13-9-2010 at 07:11 PM

Nice job Rip. It may not be legal yet, but at least we are beyond the it's not a crime. There will be more opportunities to buggy Wa. beaches in the near future.

I plan on filling his new dry suit with sand so he stays on the ground at WC. Unfortunatlly we are not allowed to tether him to somthing due to Fisly rules.

We made a deal with the customs guys in Amsterdam, They are going to confiscate all of his kites above 3,8. This will of course together with the sand make our job pretty easy.:smilegrin:

I just watched this video with my 4 yr old grandaughter. She now have the buggy bug too. "Pappa can you buy me one of those so I can go with you and Uncle Cameron?"
Now that is cool!!:yes:

Hmmm, looks like the camera wasn't fast enough to catch that big blue jojo :dunno:

Very nice video. Something that the Parks Dept should view.

didn't get your text message, btw. :puzzled:

lots good shots but all blocked by dirty lens, if you refer to the OBE scene I had hours of that and everything was usable.

next time :thumbup:

sunset-Jim - 14-9-2010 at 05:21 PM

Well, not that it really matters, but I did send that on sept 2. Must have fallen into that cyber gap..:( Thanks for the kind wish. Now that it would have been just about time to board that plane, I'm not a happy camper about this. BUT, I'll Be Back!!! :borg:

It is really to bad that you cannot make it. I even kept the Dragster for you. If you ever want to just come over and expirence the European buggy scene just let me know. You are always welcome.
Take Care,
Chris

ripsessionkites - 15-9-2010 at 12:38 AM

Krohn1999 - 15-9-2010 at 03:50 AM

I've got my fingers crossed. It's getting to look like surgery is likely and the recovery time is short. So if that does happen and happen soon, I should be ready by next year.

That is awesome Chris and I sure would like to make that happen. ;-)
I would like to make you the same offer as well. Anytime my friend.

I'm lovin' that pink kite Ricky!

WELDNGOD - 15-9-2010 at 05:44 PM

Ric, that is an awesome beach man. It's a shame that someone thinks you shouldn't be allowed to do that there. That is ridiculous. What the heck could you hurt? Or is it that they are scared of liability?

Good video BTW and good luck at WC:thumbup:
