Can we have a Buggy and Board class?? You guys tend to be a bit quicker than I. This probably would be a distance record in itself for me on a board.

Here is a few suggestions; please do not race around people at the shipwreck, turn around before then. Give everyone on the beach the right away,
that way we do not cause any problems and we get to buggy another day.

Great points , we`ll have to set up a few rules before we have any race.Id like to see it be a challenge for those who want,but also fun enough for
everyone to join in.`
We could let Arkay do another 20 laps after his warm up run :roll:

I can ride that all day! west wind park and ride. if the wind is northerly then I won't bother; too much tacking over that distance The wind also changes quite a bit up and down the coast... I like the wind to be
about 12 so I can fly the 11 vapor and have room on either side. I took it out this weekend in manzanita and had a great ride until the wind died.
they plowed down an area of the dunes and made me a steep playground

You never know what the wind will do out there. My biggest fixed bridal for a while was 6m but sunset can be lower wind (4-10ish) so a bigger kite
helps. I wouldn't lay down that much just for the trip. I'm sure there'll be plenty of kites to go around. Last I checked Jim was a sponsored rider
