I've been a wallflower for over a month now, soaking in information, feeling a little lost at times but excited all the same.
I'm a long time friend of Dagon's and upon moving back into the area he suckered me into a day of kiting and a little time in his Libre...from that
day on I've been hook. I waited a little bit to make sure it wasn't a passing infatuation but being that I done nothing but obsess about kites day and
night I feel confident that this will be a life long afair.
Dagon has been gracious enough to give me his Flexfoil buggy and his 4m Samurai on extended loan and I've been heckling Dino(Dakitez) about my first
purchase. Both who've been a great help. I've already started bugeting for a Libre V-Max.
Anyways I just wanted to come out of the shadows and just say that there's a new kitebuggy fiend in the NorCal area. I'm open to
suggestions/recommendations on just about anything and will gladly accept invites to get out and go fly pretty much anywhere in a 3-4 radius of
Sacramento.

thats the way it goes,
welcome to a life long obsession, you are in great hands with the kiters you already know and the ones you will meet here.
again welcome and any thing we can help with let pkf know.kiteNH - 20-10-2008 at 03:30 PM
You're lucky to be out there in NorCal. There seems to be a really great (and ever expanding) goup of kiters out there from what I've gathered. DAKITEZ - 20-10-2008 at 03:33 PM
welcome to the forum Nathan ... I'm tired of talking to you ... lets go fly :wee:kiteon - 20-10-2008 at 03:40 PM
is it windy there, we just had a 40mph gust come by with hail and lightning:eekdrull:, five min later it was gone. backed down to 12-18mph.Soylent - 20-10-2008 at 04:20 PM
Inland is calm, barely a leaf stirring. Odd how I use to think of them as good days.Soylent - 20-10-2008 at 04:22 PM

I'm guessing it would be about a 30-40 min drive in rush hour traffic to make it to Galt, so I'm game anytime after work...and ofcourse the weekends.PHREERIDER - 20-10-2008 at 06:39 PM
soylent ....lurker rising..

Hello and welcome to the NOR-CAL Kiters group that I think needs to be a club... anyhow if you're making it down to galt then DAKITEZ will probably
take you to the sod farm and I hope I'm there to enjoy your fellow kiteing company...
Nice to have you on board... watch out for DAKITEZ, before long you'll have more kites than you know what to do with... He likes to let you fly what
ever you want and he has a lot of great kites so expect to find a lot to obsess over... After I met him I think I'm averaging more than a kite a
month... He's Great Guy!!!
Welcome...
See you around soon,

My lunch hours are much more fun now. Google earth some undeveloped land and get 30 min of flying...I need a roof rack to have the buggy set
up....hmmm.kiteon - 21-10-2008 at 01:45 PM
I like, seems a better idea than buying a Thule rack and then moding it. I may have to see how rusty my metal working/welding skills are.kiteon - 21-10-2008 at 02:01 PM
lots of ideas out there, depends on how creative you can be.
but that is what this sport is all about :PDagon - 21-10-2008 at 02:46 PM
We should form a norcal email group so when one of us plans on flying at the sod farms, ocean beach, or white lake we can all get on board.
hey Tyson, I was telling Soylent (Nate) about how nice seaside is, I went up there for SOBB 2007 and I loved it, I need to go back, the beach is by
far my favorite place to buggy.Soylent - 21-10-2008 at 02:55 PM
Weekend Road trip. :singing:kiteon - 21-10-2008 at 02:55 PM

i bought and rode a buggy for the first time sobb 2007. i think i remember ya from then.
