The location: E. 2nd Ave. and J. F. Kennedy
Beach Dr. in North Wildwood.
This is at the point where the inlet comes in.
It is the best location to utilize many different
wind angles. Here's a map.

for all the details and latest info.

The event was nothing but FUN!

    We went into this event just hopping to do some flying between the rain showers. With the weather people predicting an 80% chance of rain it was not looking good.
   Jesse and I got to the beach a little after 8:00 it was mostly cloudy with light N winds. By about 10:00 or so the wind had shifted to NE at 10 + and blew for a couple hours.
    As for the rain, we had a couple drops around noon and the afternoon had some sun. What a day for 80% chance of rain. "Good winds come to those that wait". Thank You Mother Nature.
    I think there was 20 + people that showed up for some good flying, good food (thanks Brian and Jen), and great fun.
    The NJ Buggy Club is already planning our Spring 2009 Wildwood Buggy Bash. Should have a date in a couple weeks. Please check back or visit www.NJBuggyClub.com.
    Check out the Video and the Slide Show. they tell the whole story.

        Pleasant Breezes,

       "Finding Don (PowerKiteplace.com) at Wildwood"

I try to get to Wildwood anytime (off season) these 3 requirements are met:
       1. Low tide happens between 11:00 AM and one hour before sunset.
       2. No precipitation and the temperature is above 40 degrees.
       3. And the hardest to get, afternoon winds above 10 mph, any direction for two or more consecutive days. ESE being the perfect direction, directly from the ocean.
    I always have a complete selection of HQ Power Kites (Rush, Beamer, Crossfire, APEX, Montana, and NASA Wings), Peter Lynn Buggys, and MBS Mountainboards for you to try out.
    Most of the time I stay at the Apollo Motel located at St. Paul Ave. and the beach in Wildwood Crest. They close for the season usually late October.
    It's a nice laid - back place with the best rates going. It is located 20 blocks south of the Wildwood Crest Fishing Pier. You can get all the info and a map here: www.apollomotel.com. Turn down your speaker volume!
       Please send me an email if you have any questions or want to get together.

Wildwood NJ Tides

Wildwood NJ. Tide Chart
Click on Main Marsh Thorofare to Cape May, mark
   Wildwood Crest Ocean Pier and the dates you want.

   Wildwood has a great beach! When the is tide out there is aprox. 300 to 600 ft. of smooth hard pack sand, perfect for Buggying or Boarding. There is usually enough hard pack from 3 hrs before low tide to 3 1/2 hrs after low tide to have fun. If you have Bigfoot tires and enough wind you can buggy anytime on the soft sand.
   The normal wind direction is NE which blowing straight down the beach (south). Once in awhile you get a SE wind from the ocean which is pure paradise.
   It's not my sport but when the wind is good there is usually a couple Kite Surfers enjoy the water and breeze. They are always fun to watch.
