plummet Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 which is ironically not 90miles long but 55 miles long. still thats a fair distance. weather permitting me and several hard core buggiers are going to do a massive down winder and bomb the entire beach in one sesion. i'm hoping for a clean 20 odd knots so i can churn along at 30+ mph and maybe break the 40mph barrier. 55 miles give you a lot time to get comfortable at speed so maybe if the perfect conditions appear then a nudge at 50mph will be in order. oooh i'm getting excited. hope like hell the weather gods play ball.

heres jonny Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 55 miles? That'll be nice on your legs haha ... Good luck, get that gps ready for some speed, would be good to see what top speeds you reach, try for that 50mph barrier, and we can see how far you travel in total in that one session, and average speed and stuff ... Good luck with the speed mate, hope the weather holds out for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyrich1599968804 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Where is that beach? I want to buggy there all day pleas. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plummet Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 beach is in nz bro! no go pro sorry. also my gps is only a basic speed/distance/max and ave speed recorder. it doesn't plot or download to pc. however it will capture the main data. average speed max and distance. i'd like to lay down a fastest hour travelled on a landboard challenge too. maybe 30mph is on the cards of a average speed. Ninety Mile Beach, New Zealand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia dunes at the top will be worthy of some gliding with the manta..... also therel be some kitesurfing aswell.... ahhhhh... epic.

Blade nut Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I remember somebody talking about how he did the beach one way, but a huge squall came in and forced him to ditch the kite and pack up - I think he had a phone cause a 50Km+ walk of shame would suck. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plummet Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 we have support vehicles. so should be sweet. if its wet and rainy looking i'll just fire up the edge and keep on trucking! hahaha. recon i could hold the edge on land to around 30 knots. i've had it on land so far up to 22ish knots completely untrimmed and the bar in to full power.

George_42 Posted February 8, 2024 Report Share Posted February 8, 2024 Hey, I know this is an old post but has this been done? Cause just last week I landboarded the entire 90 mile beach both ways, reaching max. speed of 90km/h. I'm just curious if it was done before. I have it recorded with the surfr. app. RedSky and jjesseday 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
