Another great day at Southwick

The forecast called for 15-21knots out of the west for Sunday, there was a chance of showers and t-storms but not enough to worry about. It turned out to be almost as good as predicted with a stiff west wind and threats of rain but nothing where we were. There were 2 kite buggies, myself and Bobalooie, Ron with his land sailor and 4 kite boarders all tearing it up in the awesome conditions. Here is a link to a video on youtube from Sunday.

Kiting Southwick State Park








The wind was up and predicted to be W so I felt the need to take the kites and the buggy and head for the beach. It was a little more south crossed than predicted but still doable. you could cruise N but had to work hard to make and progress south. Bob was there already laying down tracks and we were soon joined by a couple kite boarders and later by two more that were up on North pond. As the wind tapered off the kite boarders had to quit but everyone got to try the buggy using Bob M's 5m NPW9. Great amount of fun was had by all.
