do I need wheels on the landboard
as I found a old board on the beach when kite fishing with no wheels
so if I glue it to my feet and power loop the 10m

hmmm, if I put the 4 wheeler back together is that the same as a land board, it's
only time before you boards get as big as my buggy

I think I'll leave this challenges to the pros

well i snuck out today for a sneeky lunch time session and punched 42km on my crappy beach weaving in and out of the grannies walking there rat dogs and pelting over the rocks and crud on the beach.
i can't wait till i hit a decent beach with decent wind. 100km will be easy given the right conditions and 200km will be painful but attainable.... role on the moose. i'm hoping for good things.

If we get a nuke in to the moose on good wind, some of your targets I feel, will seem sweatless, be a man and ride beside gannet for the 500k marathon, then my friend plummet, you can be a ledgend even if a smack talking one

spoken by a man who hasn't riden a board for hours. In the hardwired buggy where you sit and don't have to lean against the power of the kite i would be relativley easy to do high km's without fatigue.

on the board ALL the power is transmitted through your body to the board so its alot more taxing. believe me 200km on the board would be legendary.

apart from that. unless its rained solidly for days before hand and the dunes are hard packed i'll be screwed at high tide. So.... even if i want to i wont be able to match the gannet man for distance.

But i'll do my best anyway.....

Actualy.... spoken by a man who aint rode one at all and I spose we'll have to wait for the duals to turn up on the board too eh for the high tide riding, guess my smack challenge was a bit over the top, still, be interesting to see if you could set some sort of indurance record, maybe even get mark ellis in on it for guinnes's book
