Was wondering what the buggying is like on the MA coast? Windy enough often? Beach access? Etc. I have an old thunderfoil that I play with
occassionally over the last ten years always thought buggying was cool and on seeing all the kite surfers during an outer banks visit I have been
reinspired to maybe give it a go.

There is a great buggy location on the coast of MA, it is 1.5 mile beach in Nahant MA. Beach access is somewhat restricted during the summer, but
when the sun bather leave access is good. We often get good winds, especially in the spring and fall. There are some video on youtube that show us
kiting on the beach, just search for "kite buggy nahant"
Where are you located in MA. Would you like to meet up and see what buggying is about?

I'm in Easton. Would be cool to see buggies in action. Any local kite shops that deal in buggies and big kites?

Besides seeing buggies in action, if the weather is favorable you can give one a go. Contact me and we can set something up.
As for local kite shops, there are 3 that I know:
Fun with wind in Reading Ma
Seaside kites in Hull Ma
Kitt kites in Newport RI
I don't think that any of them stock much traction kite stuff, but any of them could get something for you. You could do equally well with any of the
online retailers that frequent the PKF.
