Well no wind at Nahant at all. But I was going that way any how. After seeing you guys in the video Matt made I look forward to coming down and riding with you. Not very far either. Less than 2 hours I think.
I hope you had a great time. See you soon I hope. Dave.

Hey Dave- we'd love to have you. The wind isn't always perfect, but (knock on wood) we've always had a great time at Long Beach. Today it was barely blowin 5mph when we got there, and by 3PM or so it had kicked up to high teens, low 20's. A great time was had by all : )

Just so you know, next week is an early tide (7-8 in the morning) so might not be a good day, but the following weekend tides should be good. If the wind shows up we'll be there!

Hey everyone- new video from this past weekend- sorry to make you wait so long Cheezy . This is more fun at Long Beach, NY. When we arrived the wind was barely blowing at all, 5-6mph on the anemometer. Within an hour and a half or so it had picked up to high teens - low 20's and it was on! :wee:

Joining me were MartiniPro and his girlfriend Kristen who got her very first ride on the buggy (and was pretty stoked as you'll see in the vid)!

I also got my 1st runs on my landboard :tumble: (although not too fast just yet)

The vid looks a lot better if you click through to YouTube.
Enjoy :singing:

Ok that does it.... No more fun at long beach with out CHEEZY !!! :frog: love your vids Mike. You seem to be a natural at all of this wish I was there.

Thanks Cheezy- don't worry we'll get you out there again soon

cool , shes one excited pilot!

She was! =D it wasvher kite too!

Was that your Method i saw Martin...?

Yup- Martin was nice enough to let me have a go with it before the winds picked up. What a sweet kite. Very stable pull and beautiful colors in the sky!

Of course I packed that baby up fast when the breeze started coming on

I see that 2.5 imP is steady becoming your go to machine....

Yup my Method =D.

Winds we've been getting are no joke. We have been flying 2-3m kites.

I got way overpowered on my 4.7 that day.

It's so funny Cheezy- I've hardly flown the imp at all since I got it a couple years ago- that is of course, until I started buggying Long Beach with you guys.

After that day with you it's seems to be my goto buggy motor. I don't have much to compare it to (being new at this), but when they winds are up it generates plenty of power, seems to handle gusts well, and if I drop the handles it's all over in the blink of an eye- so I feel safe even if it's blowin like crazy.

Man I love that kite!

I am itchin to give my 3m flow a go on those handles though : )

I just remembered you have the flow! You should be putting that thing up instead.

If I am not mistaken, its a little higher AR, should make it easier to go upwind.

Yeah Martin- the flow is a monster. It's only a little bigger but that thing pulls like a truck. I probably could've gotten away with it this past Sunday- but the Sun was getting low in the sky and the IMP was already on the handles. Didn't feel like making the swap.

Next time we're out feel free to remind me it's in the trunk if I forget :eureka:

Mike I think if I lived there I'd be single and unemployed!! Neither good things!!

Hmm dead onshore winds again!!

So tempting! Low tide at 9am.
