I'm trying to remember when I first went to Wildwood. I think it was 1989. Fran Gramkowski came on the microphone to announce that a storm was headed inland and would hit in 25 minutes. We hid under the boardwalk as heavy winds and thunder swept the field. Later that day, fliers and judges stood ankle deep in the water. We washed the sand from our kites in the hotel pool. And at dinner, the grease that ran off Uncle Lou's chicken was clearer than the brown drinking water... I was hooked.

The owner at the Rio Motel sees me once a year and still calls me by name. Mike Dalmer and the South Jersey Club roll out a fantastic welcome party. The single line spectacle gets larger every year and I got to judge amazing stuff at the indoor competition. Guys half my age run away from me in the rok battle. Then they even let me get on stage with Jason Benedict to have some fun and squeeze money out of our friends at the auction. So after all these years, how can you not love Wildwood?
