Normally, no. I wouldn't count on it this time as well. I back pack it. I've seen little red wagons and golf bag/carts used. Fat tires help. There's no grass dunes between the beach and town like at Ocean Shores.

Hope that helped,

The "banner row" in Seaside usually goes in either direction of the main promenade, starting about 75-100 ft from each side of it. If you get there early and are setting up in the main area, it's not bad... If you're a late arrival you may have to lug your gear down to the end or out in the field somewhere if you have a bunch of stuff up in the air all day.

one thing you must remember about Seaside is that the board walk is a concrete sidewalk right on the edge of the beach.

Book your room early cause the close in rooms and houses will go quick and then you will have a parking probelm if you are transporting alot gear down to the beach. The beach it self is not the big wide beach you are used to up in WA.

At the first AKA held at Seaside some of the teams ended up knee deep in the surf There are NO cars allowed on most all of Oregon beaches

Seaside was one of my first competitions.

There was almost no wind and Rich loaned me his sul 1.5 he had gotten that day. Or maybe it was a sul Rev I, back then. Whatever it was I wasn't use to the light touch. I ended up in the water, last place and after watching the young boys running 360's. I decided I better learn to no wind fly. It was my first year of competition. A good learning experience. :rolleyes:

<_< Yeah, Banner row in that sand feels like miles away when your packing in.

But Seaside is a fun town. Just about everything is within walking distance.

Kewl boardwalk and lounges. It should be fun.

John when are you going to Malaysia? It lookied like the dates you posted were in February.

My trip was from February 16th through the 25th... I took 799 photos, plus video.

There will be a full report in issue 35 of KL, due out on April 1st. :rolleyes:

Any and all article submissions or event reports are welcome and due in to us by March 25th, anything submitted after that deadline will be considered for the following issue.
