long hauls 5-6 hours a go on the water. and an hour or so land board afterwords

avg run about 2-3hours.

if i bum a beer up the beach somewhere i can go more.

about 5 hours buggying using only one kite (7.3m Frenzy). the kite was a little too small and a little too big at times but it worked. very rarely do i(we) get to send up only one kite size for an entire session(unless a session is really short) here in gusty/changey wind town. normally i(we) send up about three different sized kites throughout a session.

yesterday i rode both ways on the beach for about 3 hours on the water. after work and

on only 3 hours of sleep the night before...

it wasnt my longest but, i rode until sunset and until my whole body cramped up and i was

forced to pull my safety line.

Went for a whole day last winter stopping for a quick beer break and a sandwich whole time was about 7-8 hours counting setup and take down (pretty much harder work than actually riding in 2 feet of powder). A little while ago I went kite landboarding for 6 hours only stopping for 10 to switch kites felt like the best day ever until I could barely walk the next morning.:lol:

I buggied on my anniversary trip to corpus christi for about 4 hours not leaving the buggy exept to do some kite jumping in a nice section of beach. 5 meter flows got to love the versatility of that kite. That is also the same day I got pulled over for flying my kite on the beach. So I'm glad the cop/park ranger didn't show up sooner.

About 6 hours on the landboard. Somewhere between 4 and 5 hours on skis.

I never get bored when kiting and only leave when the wind or light dies out or the tides come up (or the wife calls and tells me to get home)
