Have twice as much fun! LOL

Two does seem a bit excessive, on the other hand, there is a tow bar to make it a tandem rig.... One more thing to have some additional fun with.

That is even funnier

On a last serious note: Those buggies are going to be awesome no doubt. I would however, master the basic pilot skills before even taking a ride. Learn to fly the wind window. You should be able to look away and "feel" where the kite is, and where it needs to go. You will need those skills to run up and down wind in the bugs. I flew static on the beaches and fields for almost two years. First with a 1.8, then my 3m, then a 5m. I was content until the day I sat in a buggy a few months ago and found this thing called motion. That's when the madness really started :evil: :evil: :evil:
IMHO.
You are going to love this stuff......

You made a very good move buying those buggies ! That was one of the best deals I have seen run through here in a while . You won't need to upgrade soon but if you do you have a great base to build on. Folks love riding tandem and get great video for you ! Very smart to get the setup !

Accept that you will need a second and possibly 3rd kite but you have time to think about it + pay down the card.

What you want to figure out is what your winds are like so you can get sizes to fit. You also want to decide if you want speed or stability of the kite to be your choice going forward. If you are a speed demon you will probably know it right away.

yep get some experience before you do the tandem thing, keep in mind the more weight you pull the more likely for an OBE (out of buggy experience) tandem is fun, but needs to be done by an experienced rider.
speed is achievable with stability for most of us, especially in high winds, once you get into the 60mph range then the less stable kites are needed for a little extra speed. I've been to nearly 48 mph with my Buster and I beleive 55 mph is achievable with it. I think race kites are over rated and stable kites are underrated for us recreational type. I think race kites are primarily used for upwind performance on a set course. The new Buster has very good upwind performance. however once you gain some experience and you are looking for more speed in low wind and you have the space then you will need to get into a larger yet less stable kite, but for high wind I would stick with small and stable. are you confused yet? I am

what got me started on speeds? oh yeah BR's comment about speed or stability well know this, the first time you hit 25-30 mph you will think your hair is on fire the Busters will take you a long way. enjoy!

Yeah no kidding! Reached what felt like 20 MPH with my Reactor this past weekend. It was a scary great feeling :evil:
Had to dump the chute though. Ran out of runway :embarrased:
