Annual Mileage

I was wondering if anybody else keeps track of their annual mileage in a buggy or on a board?

One of the worlds best, Sand Yeti recorded 2,694 miles last year and I had an epic year and rode 1,347 miles and was wondering how this might compare to everyone else?

Thanks,

Chris C1

Man mine would be like maybe 200 ish I have a small field and just don't have the time or the room. Sadly I would like to try for that 24hour record of 405 miles. I didn't do it in a year let alone a single night.

go fly a kite trainer 1.4 m
thunderfoil 9 ft.
Flexi sting 1.7m
Ozone flow 2.0 m
PL Vapor 3.2 m
Ozone Flow 5 m
PLVapor 6.5 m

I probably put less than 5 miles on my buggy last year and about 3 miles so far this year. Once my kids get a little older (they are now 3 and 1 year old), I will pull them around. That should be fun. I'll get a few more miles then.

Still waiting on an Android version.

Last season I managed to get about over 2100 miles in. The season was short and I had to travel a bit for races and other events. Some of the snowkiters around here bag over 3000 miles in a season. Seems like a lot and it is but when you can get 100 miles in a day it adds up quick. :smilegrin:
