How are you getting to the bar without getting wet?

Wow...that was sweet!!! Wish I had a place like that close by. Sandbars, water, parks...seems like Chucktown is the place to be for kiting :thumbup:

Sweet park and ride, very far and few up here.

thanks guys......you can wear waist high wadders..........3 hours prior to and after low tide is only about 2/3 feet inside the sandbar......................

nice , very smooth action don .

acampbell - 5-1-2011 at 07:48 AM

Sweet spot Don. All to your self . I have to think the folks on the beach are looking out and going WTF?. But that's always been your style.:shocked2:

spot on Angus.......................Im def not a follower even since my evolution to tubes the Wainman is not the "norm"..........honestly though, you get out there and do not have to worry about walkers, dogs, kids, etc...... even though people do walk out there (mainly in the sumer). The view is awesome as well. Im hoping the wide angle Go Pro shots gave you a bit of that view................what would be awesome is for 2,3, 4 or more buggies out there at the same time (:smilegrin::thumbup:)..............not too worry if you dont have bfs I can ferry you out on top of one of my long boards................we have 4

I want to see pictures of the "ferry action" going on... Maybe, if the board is big enough, you could use the kite to pull you out there?

I don't want pictures as it would spoil the amazing images I'm thinking up. Visions of a PL perched on a 9' longboard, pulled across the water, hit the beach and the board stays at shore and you're already off buggying across the sandbar......

tridude - 5-1-2011 at 11:14 AM

yes we have a 9'1. 2x 9'6s, and a 10'...................Im thinking any wheel/tire assembly should float..................again come on down and we'll get your buggy out there!
