Today i drove up to a beach on the east coast of the UK (Mablethorpe) and had my first proper shot at a personal best.
Winds were fairly consistent 18-22mph I reckon.
I was using a couple of my smaller kites, but set the speed with an Ozone Samurai II 5m, and in my Flexi bug, with wide axle / wheels:
Top recorded speed (PB) was 30.9mph I know its a long way off some of your guys,
but I'm happy with it!
Anyway, there we go. Just wanted to share

Nice! My PB is only 15 mph so far, hah! Am hoping to break that soon. 30.9 is
impressive for your first attempt.

Thanks all !!
Unfortunately I probably wont get a good opportunity to beat that speed until i head to that same beach again, which is a 2 hour drive, so I wont be
there as regularly as i would like.. My usual beach is'nt as big, flat, or dry as that one, so i wont be able to hit those kinda speeds there..
Give me a bit of time to work on my freestyle progression though
