Anybody throw some dates at me as i need to book hotel?
Thanks

Looks like May 27 - June 4.

Thanks Morrie, Looks like I'll be later this year, Chilli Peppers play Edmonton on 28th

Means you'll have to stay late!

So...I missed out on IBX. Thank god for SOBB!! Looking forward to seeing friends and ride sunset beach. Razor clams at buggy camp! Sand Flea? Also would like to suggest another swap meet? Had some good swapping going on last year. I think some people got some good deals on some sweet gear.
I'm also hoping I might get an opportunity to demo a few select models of kites. If they manage to make there way to SOBB. I know most people are pretty generous with their kites. I for one am willing to let anyone fly anything in my arsenal. In particular I'm hoping to demo a FS Peak, and/or one of the newer Ozone foils. Such as an Access, Frenzy, Summit. Preferably with the re-ride system. If you plan on being at SOBB and you have one of these you might be willing to demo please let me know. Maybe we can workout a demo or even a demo swap.

She's getting closer!

Two weeks from today!

I like that Blitz
Thank God for SOBB!

Sunset is in perfect condition.

Who else is going ?

Won't miss it!

Blitz - I have a quiver of Peaks so you can try one if
I can try your new buggy . . . . . .

Rick: you can ride any of my buggy's. The Croozer, the Hardcore. Which ever one I'm not in you're welcome to. You're also welcome to any kite I'm not flying at the time haha. I gotta find some material for my number plates though. I gotta sport the NAPKA numbers. Any ideas?

U2u sent

John, were you able to make any headway on your AQR?

I am out.

All sorts of things make this one tough too attend.

Another year that having SOBB start the weekend before your long weekend ( our long weekend in Canada ) that I could have managed a couple of days. I sure do wish you all would consider the shift. Does it compete with WISKF if you do that or something?

K2 - Don't make me come up there and drag you down here.

Hey Eric. I have not. I think I have a plan. But I have yet to execute said plan. Hoping to have it worked out before SOBB. Are you going to make it to SOBB?
Sand flea: you can't expect a guy to show up in the same old ride every year.

I plan on coming down on Saturday and come home on Thursday.

I cannot wait.

Mine got some fresh paint and a cool new decal....

How's the approach this year?

Trying my very best to make this happen!
It has been insane here at home since IBX, and I need a break.
Joey will be in school:sniff:
Roberta has agreed to come tho
Don't know dates or accommodation or anything yet, but I've got tons of time to figure out the details
Too many lonely kites and buggies at home to miss SOBB, so save me some beach.

The entrance to the beach
Is perfect!

Nice. She'll be the sexiest ride on the beach. No doubt.

Would there be any issues with showing up to buggy camp Friday evening?

None at all. We'll be setting up camp earlier in the day.

I'm almost completely healed* and definitely planning to be there. :D

*A couple of weeks ago a few of us got together on sunset beach. The wind had picked up and I was putting away a kite to put up a smaller one. Wind_dog offered to help me land the kite but I didn't want to trouble him (big mistake) and ended up getting it tangled. While I was untangling it, a lookee-loo ran over the lines and they somehow got hooked on his car. I nearly got the end of my left middle finger torn off. Fortunately there were some good friends there and Sand flea drove me to the hospital in Seaside--with an escort from Sunset_jim's bright red Mustang! I was sure the end of my finger was lopped off but it wasn't that bad. Seven stitches later and we were back on the beach joking about it; for example, giving someone the finger could have been an issue with "Stubby". :-)

Kitebit, What a crazy mishap. I do hope that you are up and fully functional soon.

Patrick...just put some duct tape on that finger. You'll be fine. You need to be there. We got kites to fly. Buggies to ride. Beer to drink and lies to tell. None of which would be the same without you.

Is it SOBB time yet? I'm getting anxious!

I'm slowly getting ready.

Every time I go down the stairs I carry some kites or some camping gear...
