Wildwood Dilemma - HELP


Hey everyone- I need some advice from those of you with more experience. Have been planning to day-trip out to Wildwood this weekend for the buggy bash- but the wind isn't looking too hot from what I can tell.

Here's the dilemma: forecast is great where I live.

It's looking like 7-8mph around low tide tomorrow morning for Wildwood, is that enough to buggy in with a 7m kite (the biggest non-LEI kite I have), or should I stay here and get a good water session in? Would love to buggy with you all- but 8hrs in the car is a lot for no wind. :puzzled:

What do you all think?



We understand all that is not mathematics through the world, but we understand the world through mathematics

15m PL Phantom
10m and 14m Griffin Argonaut (LEI - kiteboarding)
7m HQ Montana V
7m Flexifoil Bullet
PL Arc630
3m Ozone Flow
2.5m Ozone Imp
HQ Rush 250Pro

Lots of great people here so you are assured a good time, wind or no wind. The HQ team has a bunch of demos at your disposal, including Apex III 10m, Montana 9.5, Matrixx 12 & 15, that will get you moving.

Cheers!

7 mph on hard pack is fine with a 7m. My first trip to DBBB the wind was 5 and I was moving fine with a 5.5m Reactor II. Now I was getting passed by the 7-10m kiters, but I still had a great time.
