Click to expand...

my input would be bring a lot of tow straps:Banane13::Banane13:
Really hope all goes well, we had our regular ride this week end 3 guys came out on x-2's.. three guys were towed in on x-2's.. i really want to ride a nice powerful x-2 i'm sure yours is... i'm just busting chops:biggrin:

we usually have decent surf at that time of year (waist to shoulder high) and it's a decent break and a short ride to the best break on the panhandle that is only accessable by boat

tow straps ( gotcha )

i also have good friends on the beach pd and will call them for their support

marine patrol (fwc) does not venture into the gulf here unless an emergecy arises

discuss now finalize at daytona

P-cola

From my years of hanging @ my dad's place in P-cola it is hit-miss on surf in P-cola beach..... dep's on offshore storms/wind/weather.

I prefer either glass flat, or nice 3-6' rollers with nice flat spots in between to setup for the next set.....

Regarding tow strap :).... that's why we ride our x-2's at the beach,.... for those uninitiated peeps goes like this:

*** start up ski
*** Jump wave 1
*** Jump waves 2-6 (feeling like I rule the world)
*** idle into the beach trying to figure out why I don't have any power.....
*** pull plugs, shake off air cleaner, talk to passers by as they ask what I'm doing? :)
*** start up ski
*** Jump waves 7 - 15.....

Repeat over and over until out of gas :)

And that's a good day ;)

:afro:


-----------

A p-cola ride will rock the house. The bay is really nice, and we can swing around the cut to the unprotected water for some wave jumping.... OR use my beach cart at the public beach to jump waves.

How is the beach patrol at the public beach towards the fort? Do they care if 100 X-2's pull up with aftermarket waterboxes and 780 swap? :)

working on the beach patrol

they are friends of mine and have already place a call for info

can no longer drive on fort pickens since the road was destroyed in ivan

but the event location is right at the main gate. new pavillions and restrooms.
plenty of parking across the street for trailers and such. no camping left on the beach, a friend of the family will bring out his philly beef stand to do burgers and dogs, and such for a reasonable price the day of the event.

The Bone!

I've ridden chicken bone from 1988 - 2001 and it's a good spot. Not much boat traffic at the lanch on the bayside, and decent ocean access through the cut or across the public beach with a beach cart.

I really enjoyed riding with large schools of fish in the clear water on the bayside..... it's a real treat to ride clear water if you're used to Tx or La Dirty Swamp water :)

Here's the P-cola Weather Link to get your juices going :)

Here's a couple maps annotated with Chicken Bone Beach for everyone. Hopefully these mapquest pics are right after a h-cane and things are in better shape than these pics :)

Now you guys are talking! I am only about 5.75 hours away instead of 10 or 12+. What ths chances of it being over Easter or Memorial day weekends? I get a day off work for each of those and wouldn't have to burn up a whole bunch of vacation days. Still though I could use half a day on Friday and half a day on Monday and still get plenty of riding in.

Oh yeah no launch there since ivan

beach carts and muscle only

trying to make it in the off season so everone that has to rent or hotel gets great rates

off season 1mo is the same as a wk in the season

some of the larger houses will sleep 10+ peeps split the rent by that and it is affordable
