So This kinda relates to the topic of flying flysurfers int he rain but I have been thinking for some timeif it would be possible to go kite
landboarding in the rain without losing ground? Is it a matter for the correct wheels? Or are there any other fixes out there? I'm mainly on grass so
it gets SLICK :Pdylanj423 - 7-11-2008 at 02:00 PM
I've done some kite mudding before... it was a blast. The board was tricky, and when it hit water, I did, too. I didnt really notice any lack of
upwind performance. Scudding is like none other... but usually did it on my butt.
It was one of the most fun kiting experiences to date.
I say GO FOR IT:wee:
BTW, I was flying fixed bridle that day, not FS'sBladerunner - 7-11-2008 at 02:51 PM
I tried the Coyotes in our goose poop covered wet park the other day. It was very hard to hold an edge. Keeping from sliding downwind was a constant
chore. The next morning I woke up and felt like my upper thighs had been beaten up and bruised even though I never fell. I did it but I'm not sure I
could call it fun. This is why I'm going to hit the water.
I expect the ATB would be a struggle to hold down as well ???kiteNH - 7-11-2008 at 02:57 PM

Butt scudding in the rain and mud was one of your most fun kiting experiences to date? Seriously?
It sounds like a memorable experience but sounds more soggy than fun. :piggy:f0rgiv3n - 7-11-2008 at 03:01 PM
What movie was that from??? "Soggy Bottom Boys"? :singing:dylanj423 - 7-11-2008 at 03:34 PM
20 mph winds... A big grass field with puddles everywhere... Like I said. One of the most fun kiting experiences yet.
I knew it was going to be that way before I got there, so part of it was the mindset of getting as dirty, wet, and muddy as possible.
Try scudding on wet grass in high winds, and you will quickly realize why I was on my butt!:P
P.S. My old crossfire 3.2 was the kite of choice that day.speleopower - 16-11-2008 at 07:55 PM
It's fun for sure. Had a day last summer where you could see the rain clouds coming in from the ocean. I would try to outrun them. They were coming
in in small sections. You could run from one end of the beach to the other avoiding rain clouds if you lucky.
