Hello all !!
I am wondering if there is any one near Medford Oregon,
that is land boarding , or bugging !!
I am interested in jumping in and would love to cut the learning curve a bit, with someone experienced !!
Thanks....

If you can find your way up to Seaside you should try and go to the SOBB event. You can camp for cheap ( by donation ) at buggy camp and nothing speeds up your learning curve like attending an event. You can try all sorts of kites and rides + get more advice than you may want !

GREAT bunch of folks !

Hi, welcome to the forum! I'm near Salem, there's quite a few on the central and northern coast as well as up in the Portland area. In short, there's a bunch of us! You should definitely come to the SOBB event if you can, it's a ton of fun and you'll definitely get some buggy time in.

If you're interested, I have a Peter Lynn XR that I would sell...I could bring it to SOBB if you want, just let me know. It's got an xtra wide rear axle, an extended downtube, and a splash guard.

Ah,... Yet another reason it'd be nice to live in Oregon... Whatever land kiters there are in Ga (other than Angus and aVERY few others) is unbeknownst to me :no:

So liver I'll be giving you company in another year or so. You better believe that I'll be making several trips a year down to Jekyll too! My girlfriend's parents have a house on tybee they are always at and it is just a short drive or boat ride away :)

She sounds like a keeper. I plan on making it up a least a couple times to ride with you before you move.

I have an entry level board that I am willing to let go of for $100. It's a radsail RKB R2. It's in near new shape and if I can't make it to SOBB I can send it down with one of the other Kenadians for you to check out. It is a good deal but only if you can avoid shipping.
