Zoom zoom zoom, kite buggy passes a porsche

Another video from a perfect day at Crescent Beach. I love the double take I did when I spotted the Porsche, had to turn around and pass it!

Why we buggy

I had a grand old time ripping up and down the beach that day with Travis.

This video was one of my faster runs down the length of the beach, enjoy!

Holy ship, it's a cruise...

...ship. Spotted off Mason's Beach a couple weeks ago.

Fall mackerel run

It was a windy evening, somehow we managed to land 3 mackerel and a nice sunset.
