I tried using a skateboard deck with no trucks as a make-do board... hmmmm, I almost broke my hip!

i wish we had that problem here! there's been almost no wind for months!
even last fall was pretty calm in areas that're almost always windy.. & a week or so ago in montana was very calm for that location too. strange winter we've had here.
i've tried a mountainboard a few times (i'm not very good) & managed to get going down a beach in oregon for a bit, and also in a park in vancouver.
only tried a buggy once.. & just barely, as the wind was deeeead. well, besides getting towed in one by a snowmobile on a frozen lake.
eventually i wouldn't mind getting a buggy, maybe in a year or two.
for this spring, i'm hoping to learn to kitesurf a bit. then in years to come, maybe do a little bit of travelling to ideal kitesurfing destinations.
