Boogie in the buggy

I met with Ron at Cmac and the winds were cranking. He has redesigned his land sailor and needed to test it. So of course I had to go along and make sure he stayed safe. A couple hours later and it was pronounced a success.
I started with a 1.8M kite and quickly moved up to the 3M NPW. 2.5 hrs, 15miles, and a max speed of 33mph, what a blast.
Here are a couple pics of Ron "hiking" across the lot. Nice!!!
Cut and paste the link for a youtube video of Ron and his landsailor

Kayaking Irondequoit creek

I met Ron and a bunch of folks from the Rochester Outdoor Adventure Club at Irondequoit Bay and we dropped cars and headed for Ellison Park. We paddled for about an hour and a half back down stream to the bay. It was my first time there and I was amazed how there can be such a seemingly wild place so close to Rochester. The day was amazingly summer like and a great way to start the paddling season.

Ron's land sailor maiden voyage

Ron finished fabricating his land sailor and was anxious to give it a try. The weather was favorable so we headed to Cmac parking and had a blast cooking around the lot. He hit a top speed of 28mph and did over 12 miles painting the parking lot with his track log on his GPS. I would say the test was a success. Here is a link to a youtube video, more to come.

Traction Kiting on Honeoye Lake

The lake finally had enough ice to get the ice buggys out for a ride. John is making a couple passes with the Para ski flex kite in this video. The ice was short lived tho and became unsafe a couple days after this video was taken on Jan. 22nd. Back to the parking lots I guess. I will put up another video soon.

I want to flap when I fly

I hope they refine this because I would love to fly this thing.
