That kite looks a lot bigger than you...

Must have been taken just before I showed up... Not that I buggied on Saturday. I got a great shot of the four of us on Sunday that I'll have to post.

All he talked about all night was the fact that he got in the paper and that Grant beat him at the go-karts!

Hey Rip that buggy looks HOOJ! Good picture though.

It was kind of funny to see the smallest guy on the beach flying the largest kite on the beach.
The 16m Vapor seems to be the weapon for beating those super low winds.

The other Photo is from NABX this year.

Did you get out Sunday afternoon?

I know I'm not the greatest lookin guy, but I didn't think enough to scare all of you from the great white north away on Sunday:wow:

It is a shame (or a sacrifice) that you couldn't have held out for just a little longer, turned out to be a pretty darn good day. We all put in around 50 miles for the day.

lol ... grant got a head start for some reason. once passing ken #2, the competition was on. i want a rematch next time.

about you (sean), you being a teamrider, you moved out of the way when grant and I were coming. Block block block. hehehe j/k.

too much fun for a day at Klipsan Beach / Long Beach.

SAT wind was light but still fun. I started with a 16 Vapor and when Grant was ready to ride, i went to the 13 Vapor on the PL Bigfoot+. We drove all day, and even Bison had a go on the Vapor too.
I have no clue what the wind maxed out at but in the morning it was 5 mph or less and probably only went up to 8 - 10mph. we hit the max driving speed no problem but i really wanted to go faster. Im a bit glad the wind wasn't up b/c it would be hard pressed to hold back the speed with such a great beach. open the beaches already.
