FREERIDE Longbeach, WA 3/24-3/25

[Matt_E]

Once water is in the hull - thanks to the extremely skilled test rider - and the nose sits lower than the one-way outlet, it's going down.

Fast.


Crab, I meant to ask...what are the rules regarding ATV's (my kids mini 4-wheeler) on the beach?

 

[Matt_E]

yes, as long as hanson does not make the list.

It'd be mighty nice to meet you, Mike!:cool2:

Not legal, the beach is a State highway, and is subject to motorized vehical liscence. Its :bs2:

The Peninsula shoreline is a Washington State Highway. All drivers and vehicles must be licensed and insured just as on any other State Highway (Sorry, no ATVs). The speed limit is 25 mph, with extra caution to be taken for other vehicles, pedestrians, sunbathers, and beach debris. The beach is patrolled frequently and all laws are strictly enforced. Reckless or careless driving is not tolerated and can result in expensive tickets and even license suspension, so please, play it safe! Parking is allowed.

 

[Matt_E]

Thanks for the info....that's why I figured it would be good to ask ahead of time.

4 days and counting and I have the ski’s apart again! The madness never ends chasseing a vibration down. Anybody have an extra stock flywheel for a 62T case they want to get rid of? If so bring it to the free ride I take it.

Well Ill be away from a comuter until after the ride so see you all there. Vibration and all if i can't fix it in the next 3 days.

Pray for sun.

Lets hope it settles down, the best I have seen for riding is when its 6-8, any bigger and its just washing machine action.

 

[EvanB85]

Oh good, 13 ft. That's only a little more than two of me.

 

[Crab]

Oh good, 13 ft. That's only a little more than two of me.

And Matt e, this won't be like Tierra Del mar, exept for the salty taste.

:bigeyes: :ugh2:

I saw the video, it was mostly just little wind waves, no huge insane crashing surf trying to smother you. Believe me, when you get there friday and go down to the beach, you will look out past the inner break and see some stuff that may make you think twice. Those 15+ rollers hit the outer sand bar perhaps 1/4 mile out and still look huge!

 

[Snackem]

So how big is the shore break?

 

[Matt_E]

How about the inner break? Other than foam, what are we looking at?

 

[C-Rock87]

omg i want to make this but the sj isn't done yet.. count me in for a summer freeride! :Banane01:

 

[Matt_E]

You're more than welcome to ride my SJ.

Come anyway, I'm sure that there'll be a boat that you can ride, I'll offer up my X2 if you feel so inclined.
