Oh, just while I remember... we'll need cameras. Lots of cameras. If you are not holding a kite, you must be holding a camera. It's my new rule

....and we'll also need a spade to make a kicker... I'll bring plywood for the top of it.

Mint, I'll be working the morning shift, hitting the beach between 3-4pm, riding until the wind dies.

I'm gonna do a mission up to the north beach dunes at high tide. I'll try get some bigfoot wheels for it. 8)

Dune jumping anyone
