Yeah Sean! Good to see you're still around. Been a long while since I have even seen Sunset... guess it's about that time again!

This isn't too uncommon. Watching this helps to get your head around why the folks in Washington ( and NAPKA ) talk about using visibility aids.

On clamming days it is shocking. Nothing but parked cars in a row for miles and miles. They all leave at about the same time as the tide comes in. Learning to ride a beach that is a State highway is a bit different at 1st.

The cars have a speed limit. WE DON'T ! :cool:

Nice video. It shows how you like to really fly the kite rather than just park and ride like lazy old me! :thumbup:

All the more reason to put a set of tail lights on your back axle. I think a small spotlight on the front forks aimed down to about 40 feet out front of you would be cool too for night riding.

That's something you don't see often!

Haha, cool video Scudley!! Perfect choice of tunage too, had my foot tapping and with all that traffic, it looked like your daily commute to work. I wonder what the drivers thought of you coming towards them! You know how to entertain. :thumbup:

It's always good fun to watch the awestruck confusion on the faces of the people in the vehicles, especially when you overtake them.

Having learned to kite on beach as I was starting out, it was always just a normal thing to interact with the passing vehicles.

As far as I'm aware there has yet to be any collision to take place with the cars.
There is really only one rule to follow while riding out here and it's pretty cut and dry. Everyone else on the beach has the right of way before the kiters! No complaints though as this is surely what has helped keep the beaches open for our use.
