If 8/10 mph winds weren't enough to kite in, I'd only get to ride half as much. Sounds like 20+ mph buggy cruising to me...given it's a decent direction.I guess it depends on your kites though.

Sorry didn't get to make it out there. Had a few other things to do today. If they wind is onshore again .. there's about 4 of us locally that should be able to meet up with you. Now that I know you are in town for a few weeks, I'll keep an eye out on the wind so we can get the guys down for some buggying / surfing.
