NAPKRA is having events with insurance, as a club that represents buggiers that is ready and willing as a group of concerned buggiers to take on legal issues such as beach closers etc. NAPKRA supports fun get togethers, racing, training, safety seminars and more. NAPKRA is a multinational club with members in Canada, Mexico, and the US. This club was founded on the idea that everyone has a vote and a right to know. NAPKRA is changeable and guided by its members. Only by joining can you make a difference for buggiers in North America and be represented as a group of likeminded buggiers. As far as the name goes, if it bothers you that much then please join and get it changed.

we have one, and we use it (so-to-say) ... however the City of Richmond stopped talking to us (members of PowerKiteCanada) right now, because they are interested in creating more Fenced Dog Parks to keep them away from our park. They know that dog walkers like Garry Point because no one really patrols the area.

they dont want offleash dogs there, but they havent said "no kiting".

my only thing is that they could make it bigger for us.

We are lucky to have what we have :yes:

I was thinking a few steps up. An organized and kite specific design. Rails, Kickers and Coolers ! :singing:

Atlantic City!?!?


OW!
Barnes there is a good killer spot at AC???!!!
How about they do a land kite lawn spot!
is there one now?????


I took a short ride at the Atlantic City
shut down air-strip this year in January...
that was kinda nice

my thoughts are that someday
there will be Kite dedicated
country-clubs that we'll all have expensive memberships at
and will be able to kite into our retirements
and beyond....!

My Grand-pa is a 92 year old
who golfs every chance the conditions permit
and I think I'll be able to do the same,
but on a kite.

hey, who wants to have a paint-ball-gun
battle on kite buggies versus the mountain-boards

cuz I'm taking my side
on KGB,..PBG squad AlphaCharlieBravo!



Frenzy, Shockwave, Speed2
Ground Industries
Liq Force, Dakine, LibTech

AIR by sea land and snow!
