If anyone wants to join me I will be heading up to Charlotte beach early on Saturday morning, July 18th to get some photos from this event. There is many different things going on during the day including; jet ski races, sand wrestling, skateboarding, beach volleyball, and I think breakdancing. I want to try and get some good shots since most of these sports I don't get to see too often. Anyone that wants to hang out and take some pics, we can set up a time and place to meet.

I think it is a bunch of people that lay cardboard down on the walk. It isn't in the brochure, but I saw a video of it from last years.

I went last year and I'll probably go again this year. I'm sure there will be some good photo ops. :camera:

What time are you going? I have to leave around 2 for other plans. I can be there any time before that. We could meet at the gazebo.
Anyone else wanna go?

I will probably try to get there early. It seems like the wrestling starts at 11:30 am and skateboarding at noon. I think the Jet-skiers will be practicing earlier. I'm gonna try to be there around 10am. I could meet you at the skateboarding gazebo at noon or just look for me earlier at the jet skis. I will have the 300mm on a monopod, so I should be easily spotted. My number is 410-3030 if you don't see me by noon.

OK, I'll be there sometime around 10 and I'll find you.
