Thanks guy's! sorry about the shakiness, as soon as the kite launched I forgot I had a camera strapped to my head :) I should have tried to hold a little more steady :) @ mougl, yes I really like the Vipers too however more often than not, with the low winds we had the biggest viper (6.8) wasn’t enough to get me upwind, I got a 6.7 PKD Century from Jeff to try and it took me upwind with no trouble! Hmmmmmm....might be upgrading soon :)

I would have to say Mike that by the looks of that vid I would have had no idea that it was only your 2nd time in a buggy, nice going. I was also liking that 6.7 PKD Century myself, a pretty sweet kite and I'm wanting to try some of the other sizes as well. It was great meeting you and your better half. Hope to see you guys again soon.

Miiiiiiiike buddy,
that is some beautiful work. What beautiful memories that brought back, I kind of forgot how beautiful it really is. And now I think how fortunate we are to have such a wonderful place to fly.
I love the audio too!
Thank you.

Chris

Can you come back next weekend and play again?

MDK - 10-6-2012 at 06:26 PM

Thanks Jim, but of course I snipped out all the screw-ups :) yeah I got about 4 or 5 hours maybe more at NABX and now a few more at the beach. I have a long way to go to catch up to you guys though. I really enjoyed watching you guys ride the dunes…..amazing….I wish I would have got that on video….kick’en myself.

Chris I wish I could come back next weekend but the funds are thin. I will be in Pacific City the last week of July through the first week of Aug. and then we are going to try and make it to the Fall SOBB. I am also planning a trip or two to Alvord…wanna come? :)

Christi says Hi! :)

Thanks! the winds were light and the bigger kites were able to stay on dryer sand, I had to tack a little to keep wind in the kite wich put me out close to the water. made for a good time and good video though :)

Looks like an awesome beach too,... good job!

Thanks guy's. macboy, you coming to the fall SOBB? if you came last weekend you might have heard some complaining about the weather we had (mainly me) but I am now realizing how good we had it, can’t wait to get back! oh yeah and the clamers ruined my early Saturday morning :) I showed up at low tide 6am and there were people by the thousands lined the beach most amazing thing I have ever seen! for some clam? :crazy: its all good :) I got a kick out of it :)
