Nahant gets a first timer

One of the Nahant crew had a guest...

I only have seen Mike at WBB. This was his first visit here.

Great to see him riding some good steady winds in Nahant, and do over 40 miles..... with a top speed over 40 mph to boot!

How's the sand? Is it only rideable closer to the water or did the camera angle just make it appear like there was a lot of soft (for a landboard) sand? I need to get back there. You still riding most weekends or who still gets out regularly?

I'm riding several days a week- in parking lot mostly. Can ride there high tides, so many more opportunities to ride.

Sand was good the last time.
Lately....? likely the same ...

It's full-on, the season for land kiters at this mecca.

That looks awesome.
I was out there two weekends ago early in the morning and the packed sand was a little rippled. Unfortunately did not have any time last weekend and this weekend and obviously next weekend is the wbb. We should catch up sometime.
Until what month do you continue riding on the beach?
