Wet field?
Do you kiteboarding/buggy/etc on wet grass field or sand? I have this big university field and it was raining but we're getting great wind right now.

I think you're more likely to tear up the grass when it's wet with bug or board... University may not like that too much... Plus wet kites (that
aren't water kites) are no fun... Just thinkin out loud.
I'm going to take a nap now

Tear up his turf and expect Willie to come looking for your board.

I'm with Sam on this one. While it is possible to ride on wet grass, if I had a decent field i had access to, I would not want to jeopardize that
spot by tearing it up the least bit while it was soft and easily damaged. Once you lose a spot to ride, it is extremely hard to gain access again.

Listen tI these guys.
Wait for it to dry. Sucks to miss the wind but it will be more fun, less messy for you and less likely to get shut down area wise.
