Ehh, its the same thing on reddit. Your cake day is your registration day.
I didnāt realise so many people joined in Februaryā¦and many of them I havenāt even heard of. Itās a pity thereās a pandemic on. We should have had a community get-together at the store. EDIT: (some weekend in February, that is).

Haha! A little small generally it would need to be one at a time! I really regret getting rid of my proa I could have taken a couple on her. She was a very very fast girl, and if you wiggled the wrong way she would tip you out. I kinda stopped playing with boats and started playing with Kites.

LOL me from ages ago. broken tail bone, broken ribs (4), broken toes (lots), torn ligaments, broken tail bone, broken vertebrae (C6/7) broken tail bone. 78.8 KM/h top speed average three runs from dead stop, the beach is barely 1 km long. I tinkered with big kites (up to 19 m2) for around ten years until I broke my neck. Fear I discovered fear and have been back a few times but there is less adrenaline and more caution. Iām getting older and donāt heal as quickly.
Al; the talk has made me very nostalgic and I want to go back out again.

It is a way faster learning curve than kite surfing. I generally can get someone cruising fairly reliably in an afternoon. The buggy is inherently understood its a tricycle with no peddles. You sit down and can use it instantly. Then it is figuring how to fly the kite. The only complication is turns. done. They are efficient because acceleration in a car is limited by traction of wheels to ground. A kite pull the buggy traction is a different equation power is direct and fast it is inertia that is the initial limit.
Its why I could manage from a stop to under 80km slow down and turn and return getting back up to almost 80 km three times averaging 78km on a beach that has rocks at the end of a 1 km run. I donāt think a regular car could manage that.
