As some may have seen in the waht did you do with your kite today thread, ive completed my buggy and had my maiden and few more rides... oddly enough
im still struggling with keeping a depower pulling me (and sometimes even in the air) but am enjoying great success with all of my fixed bridle kites.
This is also with janky inland winds and local spots that create odd wind patterns/channels.
I think its partly due to rhe sheer amount of static flying ive done with the FB kites that i cant do with with anything other than my Apex (struggle
with it in the bug but can static fly it well).
My 4m NS3 has been my goto bug kite flying both hooked and unhooked (caught a KILLER gust today that felt like the first time i drove my buddys turbo
V8 RX7, instant craxy power that builds... was a blast!). The Crossfire and the Pepper i only fly unhooked as i dont have a strop yet and more
importantly, dont have the same level of control yet that i do with the Ns3.
Been getting lots of onlookers on my outings (mostly seniors) and they dont hesitate to strike up a convo while im setting up or packing up. They get
a kick outta wtching and i do my best to be a good advocate of the sport even though im very new at this aspect of it. And yes, im wearing im helmet
and motorcycle jacket allong with gloves and knee pads, lol..
Been a blast so far and one of these days ill dig out my camera to catch some video of my exploits, lol.

I just started riding buggy last November after a couple of years of static and ATB. NPW's make a great buggy training engine, and I've gotten a lot
of use from mine. In the warm weather months I hit the water and lately have been kite boating (which is a lot like a buggy on water) but once it
gets cold again - I'll be back in the buggy enjoying every minute of it. (Well not every minute, but you get it.) Keep on reporting back on your
progress and posts some video.!!

Bed Sheets, Hey I resemble that remark. Does that make my machine a bed bug?

Good stuff Adam! Make the trip to WBB one day, it will be worth your while! Just one thing to remember about most getting the power you need to move
a buggy, kite movement. Gotta keep that thing busy in the air to generate power.

I have no problem with kite movement on the FB kites, but the DP kites i struggle with keeping a controled sine. Not sure if im setting the adjuster
right for the conditions or i just need to eff it and only fly the Apex and Outlaw and frustrate the crap outta myself until i get it, lol.
