Be advised that there is clam digging in Oregon too. However it's an open season until mid-July so there shouldn't be the high numbers of Washington's specific weekend digs.

im going clam digging than

There was mentioned by a certain individual (but to keep it anonymous, I won't mention Sean's name) to perhaps camp out on a fellow buggier's front yard since he is out of town for this weekend in question. So as a reminder, my front yard is always open to my kiting family to pitch a tent. :bigok:

But if anyone is going to clam, ya better get enough for everybody...:P

:P

So is it on for Sunset then? I'll be there either way, but it's the difference between a day trip or the whole weekend.

good boy ... i have your specs packed

Same as Josh for me, Sunset would me the whole weekend. Anyone got an extra buggy? I dont know if I could make it to the shipwrecks standing on my Flight, lol.

I have to back out but am picking up Big Kid's Ivanpah. He will bring it and pass it to Coolbreeze. I have offered it to Rip' but if he has made other plans then you and anybody else is welcome to it.

im riding what i know ... so thx for the offer but Buggeyed and Toolman hooked me up

BR's buggy is available, however you build it, you take it apart, you break it you buy it.

@Rip- right on. Toys toys toys toys......

@Alan- I'm sure there will be something for you to ride. It'll be good to see you out there again

Alan, it looks like the Ivanpah will be there for you to use.

I will leave it up to Coolbreeze how much you will need to break it down but he will have tools. The less the better . I would kind of like to take it apart myself so I know better how to rebuild it.

I can help ya through the "put it back together" if you need.

Yes, now worries about breakdown. I have a feeling it will be needed so Coolbreeze has room in the truck.

It shouldn't be the nightmare that trying to help Dino was ! I actually work with tools . :P

Hahaha

how hard is it putting any buggy together?

Method 1 (Arie style) put bolts in and just hand tighten and some bolts missing

Method 2 (CoolB) power tools

Method 3 (Rip) get someone or pay someone to put it together

Method 4 (Dino) get help and try to find the manual

I cant wait for this weekend. It's been weeks since I have had any decent wind to fly in. Look forward to seeing everyone again. Any buggy to ride will make me happy. I'll do any assembling necessary save welding, lol.

Winds on Friday are forcasted to start building around 11:00am, and peak between 5:00pm and 8:00pm. May have to take a nap at work and drive up on Friday too!

Another thought. Any mess left at Jon's place we could blame on the nutria in the lake!

yep yep ... whoop whoop

i see wind / sun / wind / bbq or dinner with some clams (hehehe)

If yesterday evening was any indicator of what we might have in store for next weekend..... YAWZAH!!! Had the best session so far this year. I'm still

Bring the party and the speed.

4 days to fun

Early forecasts saying bigger kites but westerlies. Scattered showers off shore should boost that, though.

Fri and Sat are showing west to 12 Knots.

11m and 16m to the shipwreck and back.

Another slow week at work until THU

Lets go let's go

really feel for you guys,the crew at nahant have been riding anytime they can.so tell me there a shipwreak on the west coast,will have to get one at nahant,heard about the one at jibe.

Kind of a matter of several of us showing up at the same time at an alternate location as the original location one state up was unavailable. The wreck mentioned is of the peter iredale located on what is basically the northwestern tip of Oregon near the mouth of the columbia river. The run to the Iredale and back is something like 16 miles, and requires skill and the right conditions unless one is a big fan of dragging their buggy long distances. Wrecks of varying ages are quite common on the west coast.

yeah given the long range forecast (even thought it's _always_ wrong), I plan to head out Friday morning from PDX to manzo to pack and head to sunset. Low tide is noonish and the evening high tide is the mid tide so this could work out well.

I need a bigger kite though.. wonder it anyone will bring some extra 8, 11, 16m kites...

i have a RII 6.9 that you could use. if I meet up with Ken #3 than I have a Vapor 9.6 for you as well

the 11m you would need to share with me

the 16m, well you could have it after the event (its in Dutch Orange)

see you soon

I am heading to portland thursday night or friday morning. Will the sky be full of kites friday afternoon?

which MILE marker we meeting at?

nevermind, just look for the twin ApeXX and Vapors from Kanada ... hehehe

fun fun fun.

Lets meet up at mile marker #1 like we do at SOBB.
That is far enough from the entry to the beach and gives the hang gliders room enough to play.
The weather is looking great- I CAN HARDLY WAIT!
I'll be there 9:00 am Saturday morning

Going to see if I can get some shots of some riders from above.
