Just ordered my first land board!
I have been flying for a bit now and am finally getting a land board. I was wondering if you guys had any tips for a noobie to land boarding? Also if
you in Southern Oregon want to fly some time?

Viper S 5.3m
Montana VII 7m

Don't be afraid to get drug around the ground. some people are scared of falling that they try to ease into it too slowely, and they give up to
easily because of fear. Don't expect to be riding in like 7-9mph.
Try and get a day that is 12-15mph wind. the more wind there is, the easier it is to get moving. Be careful, pad up and wear your helmet. those
first few rides will make you an addict!

Have to agree with flyjump- make sure you have enough wind to get it going. Light win is very frustrating to get it all figured out much easier with
winds 12+ and if on grass add a couple more mph otherwise you are fighting to much. Good luck and as WG said dont be afraid to fall/crash- with enough
sail above you the landings are not that painful.
