Time to become mobile
Well i decided that i wanted more from my new hobby. as Luck would have it my brother in law had recently bought a mountain board (read giant skateboard) to go with his kite.
so we did what we have been doing for the last couple weeks packed up and headed for the beach, it was after about an hour i realized that i was not able to balance on moving objects. this was something i also found out when i was a lot younger and my grand parents had bought me a skate board.
so i made the decision that Kiteboarding was not the route for me, so it was kite surfing or buggying. well as it happens i am a really poor swimmer so i settled on buggying.
One quick Ebay auction later 
and i was ready to go.. hmm doesn’t look very safe does it.
The weekend couldn’t have come quick enough, but it did eventually turn up so i headed back to the beach for some fun in my new buggy. after a bit of head scratching and contemplation i managed to get a mass of metal tubing connected together and i was away.
After trying a lot of different things it finally hit me that my newly acquired three meter Kite was not up-to the job of pulling me along the beach..
in fact i’m pretty sure a category 5 hurricane would have struggled to move me and the buggy down the beach using my current kite. i was a little bit gutted by this thought as i was a little bit attached to my little kite, it was the first one i owned and what i had been using till now.
Time to get back on the internet for some research..
