Double- Where are you located, in Ma? And yes, I did meet Dan- he was the only other person there with a buggy or ATB. The event was more a general
fly day rather than powerkiters but it made us stand out
I still have yet to fly at Nahant- I just got my new car set up with my buggy rack so I am ready to go! Google Mayflower beach in Dennis Ma on Google
maps- Incredible beach. Rumor has it you can buggy 8 miles without stopping!doublespeed360 - 8-5-2008 at 06:24 PM

Did you go to Mayflower? If not where? Next time you guys come down to the Cape let me know so we can meet up-B-Roc - 9-5-2008 at 09:39 AM
I vacation in Eastham and have always thought Skaket Beach in Orleans has nice sand for boarding and buggying - just watch out for that big rock in
the middle :alien:dgkid78 - 9-5-2008 at 01:34 PM

It's raining in Boston today and wet conditions are forecasted for the weekend. So, this weekend will be spent sulking and day dreaming about kiting.
beachrights - 9-5-2008 at 04:22 PM
Sounds like we should all try to meet up before the tourists invade! How about mid-June/ According to the tide charts the best weekend is the 28th
with a 1:15 low tide. The next best is the 14th with a 3pm low. You usually can get a 2 hour before and after lowtide buffer in there also. If
interested let me know. Heres a couple pics of Mayflower beach:

a 3meter went to a .4beachrights - 11-5-2008 at 09:01 PM
Rippled sand is common there- and yes- the wind needs to be north or south for perfect runs. I like the gullies! keeps you looking for dropouts. it
can be challenging getting all the factors right but when they do- it is an awesome beach!alizia - 18-7-2008 at 02:48 AM
I always like to spend my vacations in Skaket beach, Orleans, because it has nice sand.

I vacation in Eastham every year (just got back actually) and frequent Skaket Beach regularly (after dinning at the Jailhouse).
The sand is very nice but there are often large tidal pools and its popular with those who like to watch the sunset. It can be bumpy and there is a
big rock to avoid. It can only be used at low tide since there is not enough beach at high tide and the sand on the beach itself is super soft and
not good for buggys or boards.
My guess is that its good for 2 hours before and after dead low. Maybe 3 - but you will get wet.
Nevertheless the guy who used to own the Kite Gallery in Welfleet said there were folks who would buggy there.
I
am going to be at Nahant Beach tomorrow. I just hope my quiver can handle the winds.
