We will save you some wind Bro

Todd RT 03-13-2008 09:30 AM

Looks like Sat. is gonna be S 15K. Is EB good on a S wind??

There's a 'Modern Mopar Muscle Car' car show/meet and greet at EB on Sat. I've got a bunch of old friends that are gonna be there. A few are interested in kiting, so I figured it would be fun to ride at EB!

Also a heads up that this car show will probably have over 50 cars on EB. :rolleyes:

Danimal8199 03-13-2008 11:31 AM

My crystal ball says south wind, will be ridable anytime after 3-4pm. We'll get that funnel effect on Dunedin Causeway, maybe even earlier.

<jason 03-13-2008 01:07 PM

Sb...?
 
SB=sunset beach...?

Is their decent parking there..? (meters?) never been there...:confused:

Is the beach giong to be packed w/people...

inferno 03-13-2008 01:41 PM

considering the forecast, it will probably be packed, no meters, and not a lot of room to launch... some will probably have to drift lauch because there isnt a lot of beach room......

Skyway Scott 03-13-2008 01:47 PM

So....why exactly would I want to go there?
I just told Donna that's where we would prolly go, but now I am wondering why when EB is right down the street.

Danny, give me a reason or come here. I want to practice landing (as opposed to falling out of sky) those megaloops.
I want to ride with you so we can figure it out together, but not so bad as to drive an hour to a cramped parking lot and drift launch. :(

Todd RT 03-13-2008 01:58 PM

Is EB good on a South wind??

Skyway Scott 03-13-2008 01:59 PM

Awesome on South. Probably the best direction for EB.

Todd RT 03-13-2008 02:16 PM

:cool: :cool: :cool:

<jason 03-13-2008 02:17 PM

Doesn't accuweather say SW on saturday...????

BigR 03-13-2008 02:24 PM

actually it will be more like SSW on sat, when it clocks it'll go straight from SSW to NNW but not till evening

toby wilson 03-13-2008 02:26 PM

BS would be good...

<jason 03-13-2008 02:46 PM

Will eb work on ssw...?

Maybe just have to stay upwind...?

BigR 03-13-2008 02:54 PM

Awesome on SouthSouthwest. Probably the best direction for EB

:D

Steve-O 03-13-2008 03:00 PM

I think SSW is the best wind direction we have. Consistent, strong, and warm. Me likey!

<jason 03-13-2008 03:36 PM

Sweet.....
Be there or be....uhh..
On a crowded beach drift launching.. :)

bigairal 03-13-2008 05:24 PM

Friday looks good too
 
its looks like tomorrow might get a southerly in the afternoon....count me in where is the prayer meeting my muslim botheres......al-kite-ah

Skyway Scott 03-13-2008 07:20 PM

Tomorrow seems very likely :)

I did a little investigation. I think the cars will be down in the parking lot by North Beach area.
If not, then there will be two car shows at the same time in DeSoto. I guess it's definitely possible.
I will try to remember to just ask tomorrow.

Let's hope this times 20 isn't the scene at EB on Saturday.

Unimog Bob 03-13-2008 08:04 PM

Is that woman a giant or are those very small cars? I actually saw an identical orange one in West Plam yesterday...Lotus, gives a whole new meaning to zoom zoom. There will be favorable southerly winds tomorrow Ishna Allah. Salah Malekum my brothers, I will join you at EB after my Duhuhr Salat.

Sam 03-13-2008 08:13 PM

lets hope the wind looks a little better than in that picture too!!!!

BigR 03-14-2008 06:47 AM

They had a car show in Desoto last saturday, about 30 z's in the north beach parking lot = no problem

Skyway Scott 03-14-2008 07:11 AM

Car "shows" seem to be out there all the time.

They'll be at shelter 13. Only thing that concerned me are these pics from last year... Looks like EB to me!

misfit 03-14-2008 09:05 AM

Hi all,
I'm going to be in tampa from out of town on sat and really want 2 kite. Looks like eb is the spot but I have no idea what eb stands for or where it is. Please help me, I need 2 kite!
Thanks
Cory

Skyway Scott 03-14-2008 09:22 AM

East Beach Fort DeSoto Park.

There is a map of it in the car forum post I linked to.
In their forum, they are going to North Beach. You would take a left on Anderson at the primary T in the park (at the big flag) and go all the way to the end.

<jason 03-14-2008 01:47 PM

Is this system going to change things for saturday....?

Man I hope not

Saturdays forecast on wed was off the chain...now it just looks ok... Hope this isnt a preview...??

Skyway Scott 03-14-2008 01:59 PM

I knew it wasn't going to blow today. I hate to be negative and to post about it earlier, but it was a no brainer.

Not sure about tomorrow. It should be obvious by 10 am by looking at doppler and stepping outside. If it still feels pretty cold, put a fork in it is my guess.

<jason 03-14-2008 02:09 PM

Here is the thing...
Im quite sure these boobs could do a better job...but we are the only ones affected by their lack of effort...no one else cares...so why should they even try....


Sorry that was not more positive... :)
Fingers crossed for tomorrow..

Skyway Scott 03-14-2008 02:56 PM

I hear ya'. Actually though, I bet some guys didn't go fishing 'cuz of the forecast. It was actually a great day to go fishing, I bet.

Maybe tomorrow. ;)

Tom Stock 03-14-2008 05:56 PM

Willing to bet if it's cold and windy those guys won't be parking cars there... it'll mess up their hair..

Skyway Scott 03-15-2008 06:51 AM

It looks good outside. Warm, not cold. Clouds are of a different type than yesterday and they are hauling ass.
Plus, I saw some birds and a butterfly :)

I think it's gonna be a good one.

<jason 03-15-2008 07:32 AM

You saw a butterfly...sweet cause I watched a movie with subtitles last night...and we all know what those two put together means...
~wind baby....lol
