Best Skudding session ever!!


Last night I had the best Skudding session ever since I started! Wind was a "deep" 20+/- constant and I used my trusty Bullet.

Went about 75 yards [not feet!] at mach 10- I mean speed where you feel your feet only hit the tops of the footprints in the sand.
Whole deal lasted maybe 10 seconds.

Cars can park right at the sands edge so it is like an "audience" I screamed by and people were blowing their horns and cheering me- couple of "Harley Guys" were really cheering me on.

When I stopped there was a cloud of dust in the air- Never have gone that fast - ran out of beach or I would have continued to I fell off the earth. I was in total control and wanted more speed! Glad to get that "thrill" back.

There's nothing quite like scudding and jumping around after a long hot day in the buggy.
It just wouldn't be a proper session without it.

I love that!

I had a great scudding session on Saint Simons Island, GA with my 5m Core in 10mph winds. I kept the kite at about 3 o'clock in the window then down looped and crossed the power zone scudding about 15-25 feet each go. All the while in a pair of super cheap walmart flip flops... it was awesome.

75 yards like 225 ft.... that's sweeeeeeet!!!



I'm going to take a nap now

Who doesn't love to scud....on sand.

Had a nice static jump/ scud session with the 14m Gin in 8mph two summers ago. The Scud Boots were squeeling and heating up after a few blocks.

Nice! My son and I had a blast in the breeze on Friday, but nothing like that. The wind was sweet on Saturday and I'm jealous.



Never thought I\'d enjoy sand in my shoes this much!

For anyone that saw it , my spring WBB scud was a memorable one. 10m Pansh blaze launched in 5mph ground wind found 15mph winds about 1/3 of the way up to 60meters(3 sets of lines together). All I could do is keep it straight untill it got up top, did a few bunny hops and brought it all back down. Quite a ride!
