Sweet edit dude!

Still in early stages in testing its abilities, but the Robert Wilde sail buggy lives on. So far pretty fun in 5-8knots 8)

Having known Robert and Rya Since early on in my windsurfing I know they would be so excited knowing Robert's creation is getting used the way he intended. I also know Robert wanted me to get involved in buggy sailing for many years after he first started but living on the east side of the island it didn't seem like a good fit for me. Glad this buggy ended up in the right hands and is a fitting tribute to the man who created it. Also, you boys who went to pick up the buggy made a great impression on Rya. She called me the next day to thank me for connecting you with her. Somehow she thought you were all such nice polite boys. :lol: :wink:
Why aren't YOU out there?

Looks sweet! But I'd be carefully that first guy in the clip has a habit of going through those bottom panel of Naish sails. :lol:

We tried it again today with more wind. Tons of fun! It turns on a dime and easy to use. Had a couple people on it for the first time and no problems driving it. Next step is to possibly build more and have races :D

i changed the vid with some footage from today at the end, which left me thinking (like any red blooded windsurfer) how fast can we make that thing go? :shock: how cool would it be to have a race from the longbeach parking lot to green point and back?! going to have to start building one..mine will have lights too solve the night winds problem.
