Gotta love the Bermuda High, setting up shop right on time and sitting off the Carolinas, churning clockwise. Then in a few weeks, add a dash of Sea Breeze effect in the afternoons...

Winds East 20 kts today; may have to test the theory...

i'm getting a room at the hampton inn , my treat, just have swop the king for 2queens.

thurs /fri night

great news, you posted it before i could say anything

good work Team Rider

have fun with the new toys

If any Mid-Atlantic PKFers are heading down? If you wanna split gas/room lemme know.

I'm bringing myself, BF Buggy, M board, Phanny quiver (and maybe a FB or 2)
Can barely fit all in my own sedan...it'd help if you have a roomier vehicle.

(Maybe I'd forego some of the kites according to wind forecasts...and maybe even the buggy - if people wanna share down there. Anyone can borrow my gear when I'm not using them).

Tell me how the kites are flying. I would like to hear how the wind is in other than Ct. Also looking for some new kites.

lad i'm so stoked you are joining us!

not 100% that I can yet make it...gonna try...:smug:

Kober and Martinpro were both wanting to come down from new jersey, maybe you can get one of them to come with you

Anyone going to be on Hatteras with a demo set of PL Phantoms and /or LEI's last 2 weeks of April? Unfortunately, we will be car pooling and the only driving we will be doing is on the island. Would love to give them a try while I'm there.

Zero Gee, I wish that was the case. This is a last minute trip that got turned into a demo trip

H20 Phantom II loops on the way.............................Chris has taken care of this on fresh water so somebodys gotta do it....................:duh:

updated, please read the top

Originally posted by flyjump We just heard from Peter Lynn today and its not looking good. They are working hard with the factory to get the phantoms finished on time. Unfortunatly they will not make it to the US on time for the demo trip. ...

The new phantoms would be a bonus, but I'm coming for the good company. I don't get nearly enough opportunities to fly with my peeps.

I'm coming!

Philip

phil its gonna be great to ride with you again. i just wish it wouldve worked out better.

You should persuade Feyd to come on down and bring his PIIs - since all the ice up there is melting anyway!

Or ship the 15 down for demos.:bigok:

It's gonna work out great!. We be flyin'!

they told me that my personal phantomII may show up, but it won't have a bag or the extra stuff. but i still don't want to get my hopes up on that either

I'd still like to come down, if my budget allows by next week...but new Phannys would def. be a deciding factor!

The gang at VO is definitely under the gun and pushing to get things in order for demos and NABX and dealer orders and.... fingers crossed. At this point I still expect to see the Phantom emerging from the dust devils to surprise us at NABX.

lad, i know that's why we wanted to tell you about it before hand. i didn't want you to spend a bunch of money and come down and be dissapointed.

Mark, you are definatly right about them being under the gun. it sounds like its a madhouse in the head office these last two weeks

Hey guys I can understand how these things can go south. But speaking of gong south, conditions are looking great at Jekyll Island lately. Bermuda High is setting up on the Carolinas as predicted and the afternoon sea-breezes are bringing on-shore breezes. The Jekyll Island convention Center is complete which means the traffic detours are gone and everything is easy and really beautiful.

The Jekyll Island Authority has authorized full buggy access to the southern water tower. We all knew that we could no longer go to Plover-Land down by the shipwreck but we all agreed that that part was not a big deal- we still have the best part of the beach to ride wide open.

And sure, I'll try one of those tubie pump up thingys with the buggy. But i I'll still have my original Phannys in the back pocket.

I am on the beach all Friday and Saturday.

STOKE!!!
