i just spoke with the park ranger and camping is booked for the fall, so that's out. we can however use a trailer as a rest/refreshment base camp while we are there (are you reading this Jimmy!!!). i will look into other local camp areas if that's what most want to do. there are local fleabag motels as well. let me know what you guys want to do..

So it's official, the first annual Cheezball Rally is underway !!! :bouncy::bouncy::bouncy:

I'll go along with whatever you guys are doing for accomodations. Let us know what the weekend fee is to use the runway Cheezy. If the winds are good I'll buggy thru the night right into sunday:D. I thought you'd like the name Cheezy..........in your honor:thumbup:. Thanks for putting this together for everyone:wee:

had a wicked good time at fbf/we really tore up the tarmac to day before the rain came in.funny az hell kiteguru found the only tree to get his kite in.wind was smooth from camp to the trees .started with 6m jojo rm took 1 run an had to let go ,next 3.8 ekko that got to to much ,2.8 ekko not fling well so went 4 m access .elmo and me where in buggy bliss,put on 28 miles today ,top speed today was 38 mph but i might have got right after i let go of 3.8 m,no room for down wind runs like nabx/sbbb,not as frighting as yesterday 44mph where any moment i was on the verge of getting lofted and i made it around all the run-ways woo hoo. thanks mark for having me, always nice to see you ,had a blast.

4m blade in the tree. The tree was only 10 ft tall and the kite only hit the side of the tree so it was an easy recovery. Coming in hot toward the orange barriers sometimes leaves you with no good choices. No damage done though :)

Just want to say hi, I was the guy with the funny 3 wheel scooter that pull up at the end of Saturday. I am just starting to learn and was happy to see a bit of action.

I am still just learning but have been getting pretty comfortable with my Hydra 3.5. so hopefully will be able to come up with the scratch to step up to a larger kite.

Are there any one who does landboard at Floyd Bennet field regularly? would love to meet some locals.



PL Charger 10m, my first \"real\" kite, woohoo!

f.b.field


thumbs down to floyd bennet field..the front barriers (where most people set up) have been moved in. Now there is no set up area and the runways are blocked off from each other.
It's still useable but that fast turn seems to be gone. Don't know why they did it, hope things will get back to normal.
