I have tried the harness a few times but it just doesn't feel comfortable yet,,, I assume with more time and practice it will start to fit in.. I have the same complaints about my arms and my fingers become numb after awhile of riding but its still fun... I am going to try the harness more often...

After a while the harness will feel natural and you'll wonder how you ever kited without one.

Pablo did you have the same situation with your harness when you first started using it?

Joecat...I hope you were able to get some buggying time in today... Looks like wind was 17-20mph w/ pretty decent skies in your neck of the woods, according to weather sites.

You are one lucky dude.

Hey, Yes it was good!!!!!!! myself and two others were down at the point at 2nd and the beach.... Low tide and the wind was kicking.... using the two meter again,,, I hit 30 mph... 24 confirmed with gps and then I know I was going faster than that but turned over the gps to Don....... I had my first OBE.... nasty lilttle thing it was... Luckly I had on my knee, elbow pads and helmet.. I turned wrong and didn't even know what hit me,,, I was just out of the buggy dragging on the ground and my buggy went another 100 yards toward the water,,, ok maybe 75 yards. I thinking I got over confident and was taught a lesson... must have turned the kite too far ahead of the buggy and that was that... I dont think I hurt anything, guess I will feel it tomorrow,, but yes I got right back in the buggy and continued for about another hour or so... It was good.

That is awesome, Joe. 24mph confirmed, huh? I knew my noob speed record wasn't safe !!! You'll be up in the 40's in no time, I'm sure.

OBEs happen so fast. I'm kinda glad I've had a few already...at least I know what they're like now. I don't think I'd enjoy them as much on a playa, though.

I'm glad you got out there this weekend. I was doing yardwork all day...Seeing the leaves blow by me in the wind had me yearning badly to be buggying again. I dragged my father with me to my static-flying spot after I was done working (he hadn't seen a powerkite before today), and he watched me fly my Blade 4.9 for a bit. When it got colder and he wanted to get leaving, he walked up near me and said, "Ok, so now how do ya get that thing down? Shoot holes in it?"
I thought that was one of the funnier questions I've heard in a while.

Man~ by just reading you guys posts, I've got buggy feavor again. I need to choose between kiteboarding and buggying....... life is tough :-) - Brian

Hey Brian, I will be away on business from Oct. 31st to Nov 7th but after that I will be ready to hit the beach again, so if your going to be around, or any of you guys,,, let me know via email or post..... The beach is only 15mins away for me... HaHa... sorry...couldn't resist/

I have to tell ya,,, the area at 2nd Ave and the beach in North Wildwood is becoming my favorite riding place. Discovered by "Don" not too long ago, I have been there about five times now and four of them have been the best riding time I have had. Today went there again,,, this area is good for those weird wind days when the direction is no good anywhere else on the Wildwoods beaches. I was hitting 24 mph today and was doing the same this past Sunday in the same location... Its good when the tide is low or if its a North East wind.

I was the stupid one who showed up on Sunday. I flew my kite in the light winds for awhile, and looked at the buggy tracks from the day before.

Let me know if anyone is going down to Wildwood for some cold snowy beach buggying.
