I will be at JIBE (hopefully) during May 8th to 11th. I should be around the rest of the time. Just hit me up and I will bring an extra buggy down. You've already ridden the black widow at NABX 2011. I can let you try the Stinger Race.

I'm going to be in Corpus in a couple of weeks (23rd). Too bad the timing wasn't a little better. Anybody out in that area?

van - 11-4-2013 at 07:12 AM

Not much buggier in Corpus area but plenty of kitesurfers. Are you gonna be strictly in Corpus or will you be out towards Mustang Island?? There are no buggy area in Corpus but Mustang Island has plenty of beach. Just need to stay away from sun bathers. How long are you gonna be in Corpus?? I go down there every couple weeks or so.

I'll only be in that area for 2 maybe 3 days visiting my dad. My youngest son is graduating from Basic Training on the 26th at Lackland AFB, so will also be spending a few days in good ole San Antonio. So for the 2-3 days I'm free to roam around a bit, would be great to meet=up with any fellow kiters.

sunset-Jim - 11-4-2013 at 10:38 AM

Hey Brian,
We have Cinco de Mayo event comig up in May. Its usually a small turn out, but we get together on the West end of the island (around San Luis Pass). This year we are planning on getting together on the weekend of May 11. If you can make it then, I've got a spare full race (with narrow tires) you can use. If you can't make it, but you come through Austin, let me know. We should get together for a beer.

Van, Herb are you guys coming?


Steve.

May 11th looks good for me for Cinco de Mayo. I believe Van and Mark (Nfish) will be @ JIBE that weekend. Steve Mc said he will be out of town. Jeremiah said he will be around. Don't know if you guys want to push the gathering to the 18th for a better turn out or not, Just need to get a food list together.:crazy:

van - 12-4-2013 at 05:37 PM

If it gets push until after jibe, I will not only be there but I will treat you guys to a well deserved bbq on the beach!

treblehook - 13-4-2013 at 07:42 AM

Hey don't give all those T-shirts away @ JIBE.
Save a few for Cinco. Lol!!

Hello Guys
I barely ever get online these days so a late reply to my previous post but.
Looks like June for Galveston not sure on dates yet.

Van
I need a peterlynn conversion kit with seat and rails. PM me a price. I can bring my front end and axle with tires and get it fitting better. I really liked the buggy you provided me at NABX 2011. NABX 2012 was just not in the cards for me this time. Maybe 2013 if things pick up here and I can afford to go.
Thanks
Brian

If you do come down in June, I will have the Stinger buggy on bigfoot you can use. It's an upgrade from the Black Widow you rode at NABX 2011. I also have the yellow Stinger on disc wheels you can try out too.

You don't have to bring any parts for the PL. I have PL parts here that I build my kit to fit so you can actually use your kit when you get here also with my PL parts I have laying around.

Jim,

Did you ever come to Corpus?? We didn't hear from you so didn't know if you came to TX or not. I'm heading out to Surfside beach with the locals to do our May buggy meet here in the Galveston area. I am always in Corpus during the summer kitesurfing or visiting family so if you do come this way again, let me know.
