Home From Mooseland
Well we're all back safe and sound from our trip North. We kite buggied in the dunes of Mooseland at Muriwai Beach, got a couple of lovely runs on Baylys Beach, and the highlight for me was an awesome speed run along Ninety-mile Beach in a screaming (30 knot) onshore wind blast. As Craig would put it, the weather was a monkey's wedding most of the time, meaning it was glorious sunshine one minute and freezing wind blown rain the next (and often both at the same time). Fortunatly there was also wind. Lots, and lots of wind.
I've got hundreds of photos to go through and several hours of great video footage to play with, but while I'm doing that here's my favourite photo from the trip for you to enjoy. It is Perin from Kiteworks jumping his suspension bigfoot buggy in the dunes of Baylys Beach.

There will be lots more photos, some video, and a few stories about the trip here very soon...
