Have you ever dumped your kite in the surf and had to fight off the feeling that you blew it and the kite will never be the same, if you get it back
on the beach?
Well this isn't about that. This is about 2 people in their buggies side by side with the kite of their choice down wind ready to launch, when the
christmas tree lights go from red to yellow and then GREEN(or someone yells GO). They hot launch the kite, go as fast as they can, and the buggy that
reaches the finish line first is the winner. Sound familiar?
I have been thinking about this for about 2 days now and thought I would see if there might be any interest among the adventurous.
Now that I said it out loud, it sounds even better. lucky_13 - 9-11-2012 at 10:04 AM

I like it! Rushing things can lead to problems if you are overclocking conditions but that's racing.shehatesmyhobbies - 9-11-2012 at 11:14 AM
I'm in! I love a real nice hot launch! Better get the leathers out!erratic winds - 9-11-2012 at 11:41 AM
I think the real problem is keeping up the speed after the initial acceleration of the hot launch. seems like whoop whoop kiteloop in the buggy timeawindofchange - 9-11-2012 at 11:47 AM
