Wednesday was AWESOME!!!
West Wind 
5 meter kites
30 - 40 mph all day long 
Ryan started the tandem ride but didn't have enough kite so we swapped rides and we made the shipwreck and back no problems at all.
I upped to a 5 and gave Ryan's son a tandem ride where we cruised around 25mph and topped out at 33 or so.
The best run was with sandflea. Jetty and back running 30 - 40 both ways!
I have way too many hours of video from my 5 days of buggying. Will gat to it soon.

I will get my "you damage it, you buy" contract out and you can use anything I have.
I should let you know that you will have to leave a 5000.00 dollar cash deposit before you sign. 
Just kidding, you only need to sign the contract.:evil:

Well...I went...I borrowed and I had one hell of a time!! Thanks everybody for your support and thanks to Eli for letting me borrow kites! Saturday
and Sunday were great days for me.....I learned the upwind turn...aka tack and learned a little bit about flying race kites. I'd been wanting to learn
to tack upwind for quite a while and just never had the balls to try it. Eli asked if I'd like to try it and I did, by the end of the day I didn't
have to look at the kite anymore and I was cruising upwind like never before. Put 45 miles on yesterday  . Good times!
