Dear kiters

have you heard about people doing 24 hours distance pulled by the wind? I mean, how many kilometers have been cruised by people in 24 hours with kites and sails either in the sea and on land... If you check at Guinness record, there is an account of 384 km by a men and some 290 by a women several years ago. But could not find anything newer and not much on landboarding (kitebuggy, mountain board, snowkiting).

Sometimes these solo adventures are not registered internationally, this is why I am writing you from Spain. I am very interested in any piece of information, details on who, when and how, and perhaps contact details...

I am preparing for 24 hours distance in kitelandboarding this summer... if you are interested I can keep you updated. So far I am adding this info in a blog in Spanish ... could place summaries here if considered appropriate

Feel free to send me an email to valladares@ccma.csic.es or leave a note here for me to contact or reply...

Anyway, thanks a lot in advance

Cheers... and good winds!

a guy called plummet from new zealand did a 24 landboard thing not sure on the distance though and there are regular buggy 24hr rides

Thanks Carltb
yes, this information is available at popeye website, but when I tried to contact PLummet, or get more information on when, how etc... the email does not exist anylonger and could not progress beyond the few lines on the account. If you can help in finding more about Plummet or how to contact him, great!

And if you know of some othe forum, association, club or person to contact in this search for solo 24 h distances with kites or sails, please let me know!

thanks again

and yes, there are 24 h distance with buggies... as far as i know they are registered by Popeye (http://popeyethewelder.com )

But, is there any other web page, data base, forum etc with records of these or other 24 h attempts?
I am sure that many people have done 24 h distances, but their distance and details are hard to find...

Thanks again

Again, if any is particularly interested, please feel free to contact me at any time!
