A few of us PKF'ers (Kober, Robert, Martinipro) are heading down to Assateague Island MD for camping, kiteboarding, biking, kayaking, r&r, etc. Friday Sept 28 - Oct.1. We have a site reserved at Assateague National Campground Bayside Loop C which is a short walk to the bayside kite launch. Oceanside is 1/2 mile drive. Bathhouse is 100' away.

Join us if you can.

How many miles of riding down there?

Looks like an interesting, maybe pristine place..?

How is the sand..how wide riding area, surface condition, etc?
They seem to allow cars offroad(on beach).... any problem the cars get in the way?

Don't hit the wild ponies..what? Wild ponies?!!:wow:

Hope you guys get a break on the weather.... not looking so great. Ride in the rain? Best wishes!

Brian rain is why they invented closed cell kites right?
I have buggied in the rain and had a great time. Right Patrick and Bobby?:wee: But open cells fill up with water. Better to use inflato's or single walls.

I could only come out if someone will give me kiteboarding lessons! :P

Good point Dave!

Love assateague it's my favorite place to ride but the wind reports this weekend were not good enough to warrant the drive.

Jaymz - 10-2-2012 at 07:44 PM

Was a real nice weekend with friends at Assateague. We got in a few hours of light wind riding, kayaking, hiking/biking, and good times around the camp fire. Konrads midnight twilight session was one to remember.

A few pics from the weekend here.
