Manta/Blokart section?
I know quite a few of us in this kite family have the "other wind vehicle" in their arsenal and after purchasing my first manta I have found no decent
forums for info and sharing like we have here for kites.
Could we justify a board just for the small group of fixed sail enthusiast to commiserate and co habitat among you?

I'd like it. Fran seems to post things on the NABSA site, but I'd really like it if we had a stronger presence here. It certainly would be a
better way to coordinate for events like WWBB.

Put in a request for a separate forum page and see what happens. There is a great deal of crossover.

I sure a heck would love to own a Blokart or Zooter! I soooo miss the days of running the York River in my 16' Sunfish sailboat.

I think a section for land sailors is possibly the best one I have ever heard on here.
I have always seen us all as one group of land sailors. Possibly riding Sunset beach ( and now Washington ) is unique? There is ONE camp for all and
many choose to ride all. United even in our effort to open beaches.
To not have a land sailors section may have made sense when PKF was developed but having one makes good sense from a West Coast perspective these
days.
Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.
Rides: Flexi / P.L. Frankin'Buggy , Shaped + straight skiis, sand skis, Coyote blades. Core 95 ATB. RKB R2 ATB .

Gosh I miss ripping across a lake on a Sunfish with boat almost completely heeled over and your feet braced against the rim of the #@%$#!pit.
:sniff:

Good times for sure Sam! Exactly like you said. You'd hook your toes under the lip and hang way out of the boat. There was something special about
speed in the sunfish. The dagger board had a wicked hum when she got cruising. Gosh I miss that boat. Sorry OT
