Wildwood Dilemma - HELP

MikeDobbs - 21-10-2011 at 03:22 PM

Hey everyone- I need some advice from those of you with more experience. Have been planning to day-trip out to Wildwood this weekend for the buggy bash- but the wind isn't looking too hot from what I can tell.

Here's the dilemma: forecast is great where I live.

It's looking like 7-8mph around low tide tomorrow morning for Wildwood, is that enough to buggy in with a 7m kite (the biggest non-LEI kite I have), or should I stay here and get a good water session in? Would love to buggy with you all- but 8hrs in the car is a lot for no wind. :puzzled:

What do you all think?

Lots of great people here so you are assured a good time, wind or no wind. The HQ team has a bunch of demos at your disposal, including Apex III 10m, Montana 9.5, Matrixx 12 & 15, that will get you moving.

Cheers!

7 mph on hard pack is fine with a 7m. My first trip to DBBB the wind was 5 and I was moving fine with a 5.5m Reactor II. Now I was getting passed by the 7-10m kiters, but I still had a great time.
