Land sailing 5/24 Parking Lot

Postby BrettLinde » Sun May 25, 2008 9:19 am

Steady 13 knt wind all saturday morning and most of the afternoon in Riverton at my home, so rigged up the 4.5 and landboard and headed to the Stamp it up Parking lot on 3600 w and bout 12800 south just down the street. Close to the new IHC riverton hospital that is going up on 12600 and Bangerter..
Not a car in the lot, clean wind from the south as there is a cemetery next to the parking lot.. Had a blast, so much fun you forget that asphalt at 20 mph is less forgiving than water. No injuries, just one quick stop that had me doing a Chuck Norris roundhouse roll to avoid total devastation.

-There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck Norris allows to live.

Lawl!

"Pwned" by the pebble in the middle of the parking lot huh!? Chuck Norris round house roll! That's good stuff Brett...

The one benefit of the huge wheels on the landsailboards... No Chuck Norris Roudhouse rolls from small pebbles... That possibly float! 8)

I'll have to come join ya in the lot sometime... It's not too far from me.

Hi Carl, I have one you might want to see. I got it from a guy in San Fran that used to run a street sail board company called Fish Out a H2o. Same kind of board that was used by the guy who did street sail across America. Let me know if you think you are interested.... ..We can go out to the E center if you would like to try it out. Sarah

Brett, I'm ~102nd south 23rd east... call me next time. Oh and that fin is nicely sitting by my booms!

Carl, that's a good land board that Sarah has. Or you can build one. I built mine after a design Layne P. had built. It's not too fast and is great for practicing jibes. A little bigger turning radius. It's the formula of landboards... Mountain boards are ideal. Smaller turning radius but still the bigger wheels.
