about 5 hours buggying using only one kite (7.3m Frenzy). the kite was a little too small and a little too big at times but it worked. very rarely do
i(we) get to send up only one kite size for an entire session(unless a session is really short) here in gusty/changey wind town. normally i(we) send
up about three different sized kites throughout a session.

Went for a whole day last winter stopping for a quick beer break and a sandwich whole time was about 7-8 hours counting setup and take down (pretty
much harder work than actually riding in 2 feet of powder). A little while ago I went kite landboarding for 6 hours only stopping for 10 to switch
kites felt like the best day ever until I could barely walk the next morning.
what I fly/ride:
19m Flysurfer Speed 2 SA
12m Flysurfer Speed2
6m Ozone access xt
1.5m Ozone imp trainer
144cm Airush Switch
152cm lib tech skate banana
MBS Pro 90
Jereme Leafe Pro 95

I buggied on my anniversary trip to corpus christi for about 4 hours not leaving the buggy exept to do some kite jumping in a nice section of beach. 5
meter flows got to love the versatility of that kite. That is also the same day I got pulled over for flying my kite on the beach. So I'm glad the
cop/park ranger didn't show up sooner.
